Selling Books

[Trillipse]

I am currently trying to sell a big set of books (2000-2500�) to someone whose site i found on the internet. now, he's in london and though he's seen digital images, would like to see the books before parting with his money. Without going down myself, (from preston) how can i be sure i won't get ripped off if i send them to him?

Personally, I would ask for a �100 deposit and then take a trip down to london. That shows that both of you are serious - you are spending the time, he is paying a deposit.

If that is not acceptable, then I would suggest that you use a solicitor to hold the money for you whilst the books have been sent. This will not be paarticulalry cheap.

Or you can have a look at escrow companies - not sure if there are many in the UK
