Gotta admit I usually don't check the serial numbers.

Thickness gauge pens for checking currency are really cheap.
More importantly is knowing WHO you sold the vehicle to.
I won't sell a vehicle without filling in the title and a valid Drivers License.
I take pictures of the filled in title, their drivers license and the person. I even snap a pic of the license plate of the car they arrive in.
If the seller is not good with that I will insist making the transfer at a sos branch.
I print those photos and keep that data in a file.
I do that for liability purposes.
All the time. Saw one recently.

I had this happen before. Tried to pull $4,500 from my account for a vehicle, happened to be a holiday weekend so the one branch that was still open couldn't do that much. Fast forward to last year when I bought the Harley, pulled $8k out of my account without calling ahead. They simply asked a few "screening questions" to make sure everything was "OK".
Usually my transactions are of a smaller amount, so I'm not as vigilant as I probably should be. But I tend to dig up any information on the person I'm doing a transaction with ahead of time. Facebook and other social media makes this a cakewalk in most cases. Aside from that I tend to meet at either parties bank, or the BMV. Depending on if I'm buying or selling. Makes things FAR easier to know the transaction is completed when the new title is printed. My Z1000 I had paid for, collected the bike, and when I went to transfer the title, both the seller and myself missed need the title notarized (when I was fairly new to Ohio and didn't know this was a necessary step in title transfers) I'd say Nick has ya on the right path with the amount of money involved and the potential buyer being from out of town. Should make for a pain free transaction.
Well, got the deal done... Buyer got a certified check through his PNC bank.
He didn't the car or the title till the check cleared.
