[AT] Selling tractors abroad

[charlie hill]

He'd have to pay me in some sort of guaranteed funds.  Not a personal check 
or wire transfer from an unknown bank or something.  The transaction would 
have to clear and I'd have to have the money in my hand and not tied to any 
of my bank accounts before I'd ship it.  It could be legit but there are so 
many scams around using the same basic premise that I'd leave it alone 
unless I was absolutely sure.  What was the last thing you were absolutely 
sure of?
