    So after reading all this, What does everyone suggest other than "Cash on the Glass" to protect yourself from getting scammed? Im getting ready to sell a Ghostbusters, and don't want to get screwed out of my game. Usually I'm not opposed to doing business with someone out of state, but now Im thinking twice about that. I saw someone posted to use escrow.com. Anyone else tried that? Being a former business owner of a retail bicycle shop, I would get disputed checks every so often, after the money had been deposited. Then I was out the money and the product. Had to file a police report etc....which did nothing.

    For the record I have never had an issue buying and selling with Paypal. However on large purchases, I would rather pay a little extra and have an invoice from the seller as protection. As a Seller, friends and family the money.

    Quoted from Coz:

    Even with cash on the glass, you have the potential to be scammed. Let’s say you sell an $8,000 pin. Are you gonna go through all 80 of those 100 dollar bills and verify there’s no counterfeits? There are some ultra realistic looking counterfeit bills out there. The chances of that happening are pretty slim to none, but it could happen

    you can get one of those counterfeit pens and check the cash.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    There are so many dangerous old wivestales in this thread, it's almost like 90% of the people want to see you get ripped off.

    The ONLY way to sell and ship your $8,000 game out of state, is escrow.com

    That's it.

    Do not make another move until you read this thread:

    Thank You
