I'm trying to sell my motorcycle and I've never sold anything before. I know everyone says to meet in a public place, but I'm also worried about how to transfer the amount of cash. I'm asking around $4k for the bike. I want to do cashier's check, but I don't know if thats the safest option. Definitely not doing money order and I don't feel comfortable meeting a stranger asking for that much cash. Can't meet in bank lobbies as still closed due to COVID.

Also is posting a picture of the title akin to posting your credit card number? I want to post a picture of the title but I don't know if thats stupid or not. If theres some personal info they can use somehow on there. And when I sell it I just fill out the seller's portion of the title and hand it to the buyer and take off my license plate correct?

Would appreciate some help and experiences you may have had.

No free rides at all. Never ever ever ever ever ever


Edit: Have him meet you at your bank, so you can do the signing of ownership and deposit money right away.....


Edit2: if he says no to ^ edit, then tell him to fuk off

Edit3: Dont post anything but pics of the bike and mods and stock parts, no need to post the title.......if he asks to see it then send a pic, but cover any PII (personally identifiable information)

I forgot to ask about that. Thanks for reminding me. I would actually be okay with that, but what would the reason not to be? Afraid of them dropping it or just riding off with it? Should I just ride it in front of them to show them it works fine?

Lol it's only 4k just take dollar bills and don't be a ****
Yes that's stupid, have you never looked at used vehicle listings before? Nobody does that

WTF do you want to post a picture of the title? Makes no sense.

Talk to anyone interested on the phone. Feel them out by the questions they ask.

Why would you post a picture of the title just say you have the title in hand and will transfer it over at the time of sale.

You can also meet near a police station.

If anyone is agreeing you to meet at the police station then 99% chance they are not going to scam you.

-No free rides

-meet at bank

Poof too easy, good luck with sale op

I thought I'd get more serious buyers if I was upfront about it. Then they'd know I wasn't jerking them around. I have like 10 pictures of different angles too.

Wrecking it,
Stealing it.

You name it, its happened......no joy rides, "Put money in my hand and you can test drive it for life".

When I sold cars (about 8 high performance cars) I would only take them on a test drive knowing I have a gun on me.....I make sure to interrate that chit cause a friend of mine was robbed of his car by gunpoint.

Is it a rebuilt title or something wrong with it? What is there to be upfront about?

No. I just want to show them I have it on hand.

Alright I won't post it.

Then say "clean title in hand"

Lmao @ the no test drive guy.
Who the fuk is going to buy a car without knowing whether it runs or not?That's only a thing in 6 states, the other 44 are sane and just let you sell your car like a normal person

Have you signed the title and had it notarized so it is "open"?

If not, that's reason to meet somewhere that has a notary.

I don't see anywhere where it says I need a notary. I thought I just had to sign it and have him sign it.

Also I'm correct to take my license plate off yes? They won't give me shiet about that?

I just met up in person and let him look at the bike. No rides unless you’re holding the sale amount of the bike in cash in your hand at that moment.

He looked at it, I started it up for him (cold start) and he examined it. We agreed on a price and figured out a drop off day that worked for both of us. I rode the bike to him with relevant paperwork. He handed me 2500 cash and I was on my way. Simple as brah

Take your own plates with you, they need to register and get their own plates.

Every state is different.

Here the title has to be notarized when the seller signs the back of it. Also here, plates do not go with the vehicle.
