First thing that come to mind is Pay Pal!
Personally I perfer cash in person! I've driven to Mass from Ill to buy a truck! Went to NH for the wifes car, Miss for my car and to North of Minn/StPaul for a Sled!
Figure out the distance, divide by your MPG and multiply by the cost of fuel = your cost!

Any time someone offers to ship a snowmobile, especially one that isn't brand new, my radar goes up big time. Lots of scammers out there just waiting to take those guys dumb enough to fall for the scam. Unfortunately, frequently their wait isn't long until someone bites...

You could tell him bring it the dealer, and sell it on consignment to you,, pay the consinment free and the dealer can verify/ ship the sled.
