Recent Boat Transactions
Just curious to know if anyone here has recently had a negative
experience in either buying or selling a boat. I have mine listed for sale, and a potential buyer coming on Friday. In the past, I tended to be somewhat of a trusting soul, and generally considered cashier's check good as cash. With all the fraud and scammers in the world, would anyone accept a cashier's check and hand over the keys? I am not likely unless it is drawn against a local bank I can walk into to get my cash. The buyer had asked to be able to do an electronic wire transfer, which sounds reasonable to me for this transaction. The institution I use does not have a local brick-and-mortar facility to walk into. I am not interested or looking forward to driving 2.5 hrs each way to get to it either. I'm interested to know if anyone has recent experiences with problems or positives with fairly significant sums of money being exchanged. |

My dealer and I took a personal check for more than $50,000 last August for the sale of my 2003 Parker 2520XL. I had had only a couple of phone calls with the buyer, but the dealer knew who he was (but didn't know him personally), and the buyer had all the right ID. He was a well-established medical professional in a nearby city. I was sweating it as he drove off with the boat, but the dealer said the buyer was "good as gold." No problems with the check. I would suggest you contact your bank's wire department for assistance. Wire transfers are not instantaneous...you might have to wait a couple of hours for it to show in your account. |

Set up an account in a local bank and use it for this transaction. Don't release the boat until you have assurance from the bank that the transaction has completed and the funds are available to you. I have done some significant wire transfers and all went well. |

A friend went to check out a flawless 25 ft Bilgeliner... Luckily, he called a local Marina to set up a slip for the boat. The boat was immaculate. The Marina operator asks " Is that the Green Bilgeliner in the Boat For Sale Mag."? He said yes, and the dude says " Stay away from it, it's needed a transom for 10 years" From the appearance of the boat, you would'nt think so. |

Close out the wire transfer account when you are finished with it. |

I'm interested to know if anyone has recent experiences with problems or positives with fairly significant sums of money being exchanged. My daughter, while working as a claims rep for a large ins. co. dealt with a claim on a stolen Mercedes. The seller had sold it for $17,000 and accepted a cashiers check for same. Buyer drove off with car and title and seller took the check to the bank. Turned out that the check was for $17 and the seller had cleverly added three zeros to the sum and somehow added the word "thousand" also. Ins. co. paid on the claim and eventually found the car in California but wasn't able to retrieve the car as the buyer had sold it to a dealer for cash and the dealer had the title signed by the original owner. I don't know if they ever found the thief but I'm sure they wouldn't have had much luck getting any money back from him. Tom G. |

I'm interested to know if anyone has recent experiences with problems or positives with fairly significant sums of money being exchanged. I sold a 52' Navigator for a bunch of money and accepted a personal check that he sent in the mail. Of course, he didn't move the boat for another four months because it was in the middle of January. I figured that was safe. Wire transfer is about the safest bet now-a-days, but even that has the risk of exposing your bank account number. I opened a seperate bank account and deposited the minimum amount of money to keep it open. That account was intended to be used only for incomming wire transfers. Problem is, I never used it, forgot about it and eventually the monthly service fees exceeded the initial deposit I had made. I got a notice from the bank saying my account was over drawn. Not knowing *what* account they were talking about caused some nervous moments until it was identified. Eisboch |

I sold my sailboat last year and accepted a partial transfer payment for about 40% and a personal cheque for the remainder. i was nervous, but the buyer and his wife were friends with on of my sons friends. This city is just small enough that you can find almost anyone...getting money back is another matter though. |

At least that's when the information is available for me to view. I make ACH transfers monthly and they take a couple of days to clear. An "old fashioned" wire transfer that you describe can be processed and funds available any banking day up till usually a 2PM cutoff time. |

I looked at my records and find that last year doing an account transfer between two major banks took 4 days to posting. This year - I do them every month or two - they are taking a day or two. I wasn't paying much attention since I had adjusted to doing the transfers at least 4 days before I wanted the funds. I cashed a couple CD's recently and each time it took at least 4 business days for the money to show up in my receiving account. I was charged a "wire transfer" fee each time. About 20 bucks I think. No big deal, but we do have different experiences. I'll ask about their process next time I'm on the phone doing a wire transfer. But maybe not, since it's sometimes hard getting to the right person. "Oh, I don't know. Would you like to talk to a wire transfer supervisor?" "That was sent immediately. You'll have to talk to the receiving bank." So I call the receiving bank. System is down. Next day. "I can't see it in the system, but it might be in process." Hardly a transparent process. Not worth changing banks about though. --Vic |
