I'm purchasing a piece of equipment (over $3k) from someone in another corner of the U.S. and wondering if anyone has suggestions as how to protect myself, as I don't know the seller. Are there any types of escrow services for this thing? Or should I just send a deposit and do the rest COD, or ...?
