ZipShip

Buyer has chosen a shipper and will use a company called ZipShip. (gozipship.com)

He told me the account number the escrow.com gave him for the wire transfer wouldn't go through on his bank's webpage, so he'll go in tomorrow morning. Banks and escrow.com were both closed today in observance of Christmas. Sounds like a 1-day wait once the wire is sent before escrow clears the car to be shipped.

The buyer seems like a very nice and sincere person. Let's keep fingers crossed that he doesn't get neurotic on me! :D  Apparently he is very interested in this particular model. He says he spent many hours the last few weeks chasing down ads on the Internet, only to find that many were expired or already sold. Some had been listed for a while, but were in the $13-$18k range, so they had gone unsold. This car tops out at about $7400 right now on the NADA guide, so not likely those cars will sell anytime soon.
