Good story, Michael and a reminder to understand that what is one man's perfect condition still requires a thorough check in person. There also has to be a certain amount of trust between buyer and seller.
I once sold a Triumph Speedmaster to a buyer many states away. I sent him a video walk around of the bike, while starting it up and explaining all the changes I had made. The buyer purchased it and had it shipped to himself, all without ever seeing the bike in person. We had lots of conversations during the process, but both took some risks and we both ended up happy! Private owner sales are becoming quite a challenge these days!
Sorry to hear your riding days are over, but a small convertible sports cars are a close second to two wheels!
