Obviously, a wire is much safer.

I just sold our TT250 to an online guy here. First post he posted and he pm'd me.
I told him "I'll take a money order by mail, when it cashes, you can have the bike."
He said, "I'll send you the money via Walmart. Once you get the cash, I'll send the shipper."
It worked perfectly. He even had me confirm the cash before he sent the shipper to my house. Sometimes they are legit and I hope my buyer posts here. Good dude.
