Hi all,

My Starduster Too project has attracted the interest of a potential buyer in Finland. I'm aware of the shipping and other scams surrounding situations like this, and I've traded emails with him with great skepticism, but it is time to consider the unlikely scenario that he's legit. While it's unlikely that he's going to wire me the money and hope that I actually ship him the project, and absolutely out of the question that I'm shipping on his promise to pay, that pretty much only leaves an escrow service, right?

I'll break it down and stuff it into a container, but I expect him to handle the bulk of the shipping details. Any overall advice for me?

Thanks

Mike
