Buyer wants copy of passport?


I have bought and sold expensive equipment for may years both here on audiogon and on Europe’s audio markt.de and I have good feedback on both.
for years buyers was satisfied with photo of the equipment and as a buyer I was to.
Now  buyers wants videos of the equipment playing and also copy of passport and pictures of yourself together with the equipment. Would you accept such demands?
sending pictures of passports to a stranger seems not so comfortable !.?

Be sure and hold up a copy of today’s newspaper so he can see the date so he’ll know it’s not a $cam. 🤠
It has been disappointing to see the many complaints that sellers have on this site, this is one reason I have not sold anything for a while. For me to sell something on Audiogon,  I would have to have gold as payment!  Very frustrating.

I assume that he wants to verify that you have advertised equipment.  Ask him to provide you with name of his bank, account number and the password, since you have to verify that he has sufficient funds.
