Need Help from WA. board members.

Made a deal over the phone last night. Agreed to pay sellers asking price. Was first caller (truck had been advertised for 11 days) and was told "yes we have a deal". Asked if he had paypal and said he'd have to ask his wife and would call me tonight. Never got the call, so I called and the cell phone is shut off. Maybe I'm paranoid and I'll get a call tomorrow. But this isn't the first time I've "had a deal" that never ended up happening.

Are there any reasonable and trustworthy buying services in the Seattle area that I could wire the money to and they'd get the title and maybe even take possession of the truck til it shipped? I've never bought a truck without looking at it first and when I've taken the plunge and tried it fell through.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks.
