Do folks familiar with selling motorcycles see any red flags here? I've never sold to someone who needed the bike shipped before. #motorcycle

Yeah it looks suspicious. Bet the cheque bounces, but a week later.

Thanks everyone. I had a weird feeling about this and I'm glad there are more experienced folks here to help. :3

These old "cashier's cheques" scams were common some years ago. Your bank accepts it and says it looks okay, puts the money in your account, you deliver the goods and then the cheque is refused at the issuing bank weeks later and they return it to your bank, who delete the money from your account and bill you a $35 return fee.

Tell em to bring cash or use Interac e-transfer with automatic deposit enabled on your end, payed in advance.

@sam yeah it's def a scam. Never sell over country borders

I've never sold a bike, but this is definitely a common scam.

If I ever sell a bike privately, it will be strictly in-person and cash in hand.
