My thoughts too. Shouldn't rush to judgement. At the same time wiring that much money anywhere is so risky, especially private sales. There must be an escrow service for this?

It's funny how the buyer takes the brunt of the risk. Reminds me of when I bought some hifi equipment privately years ago and the seller shipped it before I had a chance to pay. When I asked him why, he said it seemed unfair for the buyer to take the risk all the time. I found that intriguing, but never had a repeat of that.

Good luck to the OP all the same.
