Rules for buying:

Shipping costs are the buyers responsibility but I will work out the details with your shipper to load the bike up. I highly recommend Keyboard Transports 100%.

Nothing to hide here.


Paying:

1) CASH IN HAND IS KING and I prefer handshake, FACE-TO-FACE transactions.

2) BANK TO BANK WIRE 

3) CASHIERS' CHECKS 


PAYPAL IS NOT PREFERRED! I DO NOT LIKE PAYPAL AND I THINK THEIR FEES ARE OUTRAGEOUS! 

HOWEVER IF YOU WANT TO USE PAYPAL,YOU WILL HAVE TO BE LIABLE FOR THE EXTRA FEES. SORRY...BUT IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS WHAT THEY CHARGE FOR BASICALLY DOING NOTHING.
