Today I entered into an agreement with someone selling their trumpet on another trumpet site. Basically I will be sending them a certified check and once received they will overnight me the horn.

Is this the correct way to handle this transaction? It really does not protect me in any way.

This is the first time I purchase a horn in this manner and am seeking the advise of the members on this forum. Is there a better way to do this transaction?

Thank you!
