George,
Gawd dang,
That is one fully equipped trailer with everything I've ever dreamed about putting on my trailer and more. I mean air suspension, that thing must ride so smoothly. Exceptional unit, wow. If I had not ordered my Escape, I'd be enroute.
Good luck.

[GeorgeR]

We decided to lower the price to NADA level at $28,135.

If I had the money I'd be all over this unit, likely about the best with all the mods involved.

[cpaharley2008]

I got the money but already ordered a new 19' Escape that is being built, so I'm hoping maybe in 5 years it may come up for sale again.

[MC1]

That is one sweet trailer!

[GeorgeR]

We are getting reasonable traffic to our advertising but no acceptable offer yet. We assume it is the combination of the current market and price. We can only control the price and decided to adjust it to $26,500 or best offer.

George.

[GeorgeR]

We had reasonable traffic of inquiries, but no reasonable offer until the last 2 days’ avalanche of reasonable offers. If everything will go as planned our trailer will sunbathe in the Saudis desert. The buyer will be wiring money and after funds are verified he will be getting the keys and the pink slip. According to our bank, it takes 3-5 days to verify funds and it is the safest transaction for the seller. Hopefully all will go well.

I hope you are correct George....foreign transactions=horror stories. Will it be shipped from West coast or East coast?

The buyer is in Coronado CA visiting his kids attending University. His brother has 2005 Bigfoot in Saudi Arabia. Based on the telephone conversation he knew a lot of details about Bigfoot trailers. He was willing to fly to Portland to finalize the transaction. His name surfaced in Google search as graduate of SMU university in Dallas. The trailer will likely be transferred to Texas and likely shipped from there.
If money is verified on my account it should be reasonably safe transaction, I hope.

Please accept cash only for your trailer. This reeks of a scam. It smells fishy.

Best of luck to you.

[GeorgeR]

Thank you for advice. If this deal is real he is more exposed than us. If funds show up in our bank account there is no way he can retrieve them, than he is exposed. We gave him SWIFT, routing and account info but this is practically public knowledge. We will give him through Thursday this week to finalized his agreed upon obligation.
We have another offer but it requires long distance delivery from a fellow retiree who wants to go around US. If Saudi’s deal is bogus we are planning to accept this offer.

George.

Actually - when the funds "show up" in your account it means diddly. It means that preliminary scan has proceeded. However, at any time up to 90 days after the $$$ "appear" you bank may discover that the $$$ that they put into your account do not actually exist and they will then make an accounting adjustment.

Its not that "he" will be withdrawing the $$$, it is a case of him not putting REAL $$ into your account in the first place.

When dealing overseas, you want CASH in hand. Once the unit has left your driveway headed for another part of the globe - whether within the US of A or in Saudi Arabia, you have lost.

[cpaharley2008]

possibly a wire is just as safe or a certified check drawn on us bank that you then cash at the bank it is drawn upon and get paid in cash

[GeorgeR]

Folks from our bank told us that it takes 3-5 days to verify if funds are real and in our account. They also told us that among personal checks, certified checks, money orders, cash, wiring money is the safest due to a complete traceability. Once wired funds are in my account a sender has no access. I wire money a few times a year to EU and there are plenty of warnings that wiring is irreversible.

In case of fraudulent activity we setup two-tier passwords. Apparently crooks are always a step ahead of banking security.

I think this is interesting offer but I am not completely sure it will go through. We are going to give him until this Thursday to fulfill his obligation and if he fails we will accept the offer with long distance delivery. In that case we will likely open (actually reopen) an account in buyer’s bank and do the account to account transaction in the bank.

I did some research regarding the Saudi buyer based on his telephone number and e-mail address. Apparently he is the director of Human Resources, Member of the Board of the publicly traded corporation employing 12,000 people with $1.3B revenue located in Riyadh.

Well, time will tell but I am less worry about fraudulent activity.

I just got this email from the Saudi guy. Educated in US with high position:
"Hi George
This is a confirmation from my said regarding the sales agreement in the above subject . Our forwarder will contact you tomorrow , he will also Handel bank transaction and delivery . i will give you a call today
Regards
XXXXX XX XXXX"

Stay safe. Last year in Paris while waiting for a metro I found a hand of a beautiful young lady in my rear pocket, fortunately I saved the wallet by milliseconds. In a couple of minutes "peek pockets" was broadcast from PA speakers.
Life is good,
George.
