Sounds like it works the same way there as here......and the above is NOT true.

The banks have a set waiting period, depending in part on the amount of the check but NOT on where it was issued. Thus, in cases where the check was issued OUTSIDE the "local" clearing house area, their "rules" would allow you to draw before it actually cleared.

Think Nigerian scams.

They can't be bothered to FIX their system to track clearance of individual checks (it WOULD be rather complicated and expensive) so you have run into their quick and dirty "fix".
For you it sucks. Apparently the EU isn't as integrated as they would have you believe......and in many cases, that's probably good.

OC Hoosier, I told Oscar that you're a good guy and I wouldn't be mad at you if he buys your bike. And I told him you wouldn't be mad at me if he buys my bike. :whistle:

[OC Hoosier]

OK, thanks for the heads up!

PM sent on GZ.

UPDATE: The GZ sold on Saturday morning. What a fun little bike it was!

Did you get your price? Which guy bought it?

[OC Hoosier]

Well, it was significantly less than my original asking price from about two months ago, but close to my final asking price yes. I ended up delivering it as well (Pasadena), but that's ok...it gave me a chance to enjoy one last ride. It was a fun bike to learn on, and will always hold sentimental value, but I'm glad to rid myself of the frustrations of trying to sell a vehicle and not having any luck, ha!
