Sold something on craigslist.

Guy seems really nice. Any risk of asking him to deposit money into my bank of america account? if I wrote him a check, he'd have my account number anyway, right? So how bad is it to go to him and ask him to just deposit the money at bank of america?

Just pay in cash.

I always put CASH in my craigslist ads.

I did just sell my car there and am takign a check. But the title and car will stay with me until the check is 100% clear.

Are you stupid, lazy or both?

Unless this is a high priced item, cash only. There's no reason to deal with anything else with someone you don't know.

cash is usually the only accepted form of currency among strangers, unless it is really expensive and then a cashier's check is...

 

[d33pt]

only take a cashier's check if you go to the bank with them to get it drawn. too easy to make a fake check.

Just give the "nice" guy your ATM card and pin and ask him to make a deposit that way. No reason to inconvenience hime by making him wait until the bank is actually open...

:roll:

In god we trust ... all others pay cash!

Op, did you really think we would tell you anything other than ask for cash?

 

[ViviTheMage]

if he is going to deposit it into your bank account, you might as well just have cash.
