Another way is to have the funds wire transfered to one's account. This is
usually the safest, easiest and surprisingly inexpensive. If someone if
willing
to issue a bank cashier's check, they should be willing to make a wire
transfer. If not, it is time to walk...away from the deal. There are always
other cars.......Out of lurk mode......
