Sell local!
Not worth the hassle if it goes sideways.

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point

Agreed. Might as well sell it locally.

Still, beware that paypal will only cover up to $500 in loses.

i sold probably 100 watches online last year, and i only sent 2 overseas, and i knew both buyers beforehand, its the only way, not worth the risk. i turned down a dozen or so people, but i bet at lest half were scams.

My friend sold his exhaust to a guy in austria after receiving the money in his paypal acct. As soon as the exhaust arrived in austria, the buyer contacted his bank claiming his CC was stolen. The money was reversed by Paypal and my friend got hosed for 2 grand.

I wouldn't sell to that guy in Singapore in a million years.
