I am about to put both my JCB minidigger and Mitsubishi tipper truck up for sale, as they spend more and more time parked up and unused. Obviously the price will run in to thousands of Euros but what is the best way to secure payment, don't want to end up with a dodgy cheque, cash is king but the amounts might start questions.

Une virement direct into your bank in advance of the collection of the items. And check with the bank that the virement is definately cleared. I say that as a while back I sold a car and as it was a substantial amount I asked about the virement and was told it could still be recalled once it was in the account !! However, they could contact the centre at Bordeaux and confirm the payment and then it could not be recalled. This was Banque Populaire.

I sold my digger a while back . Payment is simple. the sale is agreed on , a cheque is handed over and taken to your bank . Once the cheque is cleard and the money is in your account, the machine is collected. Anyone that won't agree to that , is not to be trusted.

I suppose it would be best to include something when advertised such as "collection after cleared funds", I am led to believe that it is illegal to make a transaction in cash more the 1K€ is hat true?

Yes, so I have heard. But by all means, find an assured way to guarantee that virements, cheques, or any other means have actually cleared. Many people have been caught by clever scammers.

French residents for tax purposes or those who act within their professional scope are allowed to make cash purchases of up to the value of €1,000 (€ 3,000 if you pay with e-money). For tourists, as long as the purchase does not serve a professional activity, the limit is €15,000.
