Hi All,
Going the opposite direction than "Blow that Dough" ...
Have a buyer for my boat - I have good track on who he is, where he and spouse work (Linked In and direct search) - he lives about two hours away, has inspected and we have water tested and agreed on price - under $100K.
We are discussing how to do the funds transfer - our common accounts are with Fidelity - and, he can wire transfer - or, get a cashiers check from his credit union. Fidelity has confirmed they can do this and is usually only a couple of hours. Wiring would be far more convenient.
It seems like all the risk is on his side if we conduct via a wire transfer, right?
Is there a risk to me if I provide the account and routing numbers?
