Well the guy from sweden and I have talked more. He has tried to call me about 7 or 8 times but the connection has been bad so we are communicating through email now. As far as I can tell he is legit. He seen my ad on tractor house and he and a couple friends are buying a few tractors to fill a shipping container and ship to sweden in April. He will send me a deposit and the hauler will pay me the balance in cash when he comes to get the tractor in april. The amount of the deposit is up to me and I told him that I am cautios of scammers and he said he is as well and that is why he uses tractor house as they do a screening process before you can list. I now have his name, address, phone number and email.I figured if the guy was a scammer he wouldn't have tried to contact me for 2 days. How does this sound to you guys?

My banker once told me that the only reliable way to take money from someone you do not know is to have them wire transfer it to you, preferably through a bank. That way you have some recourse if something doesn't work. Otherwise, you are on your own. He told me not to even trust cash or a cashier's check because they can be phony as well. Mike
I use to deal with several European buyers and always had great luck with them. One guy in England bought 3 JD 5020 tractors from us and had the container delivered to our place and we loaded them into it after torching the ends of the axles off. He paid up front with certified checks.
A guy from the Netherlands had a brother over here scouting tractors one summer. I sold 2 to him and his brother came and picked them up and hauled them to Indiana where they quartered them up and stuffed them into containers. He wired a deposit and the balance was paid in cash on pickup.
Sold several engines and parts to a guy in Greece also, that was cash on the barrel head.
There are lots of great buyers over there but if it starts sounding anything like the scams, then run away.
