Bank transfer by him to you, or cash and you pay it in?
Price discussed today will probably halve by the time he comes to buy with all the " faults" he will now find that he "didn't see" earlier.
Only my opinion though , and I believe there is allegedly a lot of fake cash around at the moment.

I would avoid. Sell on your own terms if that’s what you want to do

 

[Mike800966]

Well, he has been back and inspected with a mate and allegedly will be back at an agreed time tomorrow to pay at the agreed price ,,,,hmmm
I wonder if after we've taken the trouble to empty it the price might change.
Next episode tomorrow late pm then...

Ps in which case he can bu!!er off!

If you’re happy with the price offered and he puts money in your account before you release the van I don’t see a problem. You can always phone the bank and ask if there could be any problems? Make sure it’s cleared in your account before he takes the van

Did you have a for sale sign in window?

Please take security measures in the meantime. Ok so I’m a catostrophist but nothing to loose if it can’t be started in the meantime. Hope it’s all above board and you get what you want.

Bank transfer there ate loads of dodgy notes about. Or both go to the banks whilst it's paid in and they check it

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

If you do sell make sure you notify the dvla by filling in and sending of the transfer slip . Dont let the buyer do it otherwise it will still stay in your name if he commits an offence.

I assume you are a willing seller at the agreed price.
Bank transfer only. Go to your bank with or meet the buyer there. Pre arranged meeting.
Have a sale agreement letter with minimum of "sold as seen, date and mileage", V5C and keys.
Funds in your account, sign and handover.
My tuppence worth, but bank transfer confirmation is essential.
Also, this is an open forum. Maybe you have a relative or other objective friend to hold a hand.
Can be emotional.
Regards
Ps cancel insurance after handover.

If possible accept his bank transfer then, before he leaves with your m/h, transfer the money to another account. That way he cannot “recall” the funds to his own account if trying a scam.
