I was the one guy who didn’t get ripped off. I sold a Sun Workstation when I was in college to a dude in Bolivia via a freight forwarder.

I didn’t realize at the time (late 90s) that cashiers checks can take 60 days to settle. I was really sweating it for a few weeks, as most of my net worth at the time was tied up in that computer!
