[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 398784, member: 1916"] Depends on the item, the details provided in the add to give me confidence on what condition it is in and if it represents a must secure it now bargain. I would only offer a nominal holding deposit sight unseen, no more. $15k is a serious deposit. In saying that I purchased a $50k van with a $10k direct deposit and remainder on collection, but I inspected it first. If he changes his mind and asks for it to be deposited in a different account or form it could be a money laundering scheme. $15k bank deposit is hard, if not impossible to unwind. Validating a bank cheque however may be where the risk is as they are not infallible and can be cancelled whilst in the process of presenting the cheque. Hard to say from what you present, what evidence of guenuine intent could he provide.....photo of drvers licence, passport, bank account statement, daughters hand in marriage ???? [/QUOTE]
