Default Buy Glider without looking

Has anyone every sold a glider without the buyer looking at it?

I have my glider listed for sell and the guy is buying without looking at it and sending a cashiers check and arranging shipping....sound familiar.

I both sold and bought two motorgliders w/o the buyer or myself inspecting them. In my case, I went on the recommendation of a trusted friend, and it worked out fine. The buyer of my glider was in Brazil and only came when it was time to ship it out of country (what an experience!).

I would strongly recommend a bank wire transfer over a cashier's check, however. Cashier's checks can be forged. If you must go the check route, send a copy of the check to the issuing bank and have it verified (call them first).
