Wire transfer is safe and so are international buyers

Sometimes the paranoia from you US inmates is amusing assuming that selling to international customers is fraught with risk.

Once you receive your money on a wire transfer, it is yours. There is no risk in receiving money,.international wire transfers are standard business practice overseas. Banks or individuals cannot take money out of a some else's bank account - period no matter if you have the bank account no and BIC no.

Being in Australia, I buy used gear on a semi regular basis. They guys just quoting on sell to Lowe 48 states are only losing legitimate sales. On guy on audiogon refused my offer on a phono stage as I was not in the USA. No big deal, except he has now listed his item for a 2nd time without a sale. Basically it is his loss as he lost a legitimate sale.
