Ah yes - well, that's the way of it.

Good luck.


Just got another email from the buyer's broker. The financing closing was
held and the buyer is forwarding our check, dated Friday, today. So, it
looks like it's a done deal.

I've promised to meet with him when he comes up in March to go over the boat
again in a more leisurely manner, and to deliver a couple of items that I've
had stored at my house (couch, end table, etc.)

Now, should the GB sell, I am going boat shopping.

Why not a wire transfer? I wouldn't take a check from anyone for that
amount.

It will be a bank check from the bank he financed it through. I have no
problem with that, since I still have the "keys" and it's virtually
impossible to move the boat right now. The check will have plenty of time
to clear before the boat goes anywhere.

As I mentioned in another post, wire transfers are not necessarily "safe"
either, unless you set up a "dummy" account.
