Not to get too deep in this shit (see, on topic!)There's a shit ton of private sales who want cash specifically. NOT a check.
This is exactly how it works in private horse trailer sales. $1K? $50K? all CASH.
Not prepper at all. They just don't want any of it tracked the same way drug dealers don't. Or garage salers don't.ahhh, so its for weird prepper reasons, not for fraud prevention reasons.
that certainly sounds like weird prepper, the gubmint is out to get me, stuff to me.Not prepper at all. They just don't want any of it tracked the same way drug dealers don't. Or garage salers don't.
Fraud prevention is a simple UCC or title search and can be done easily w/o any paperwork from the seller.
This is purely for expedience. My schedule doesn't work well to meet the seller outside of today, so I stopped into the CU this morning on the off chance they'd be willing to help me out. Turns out, they would.Not prepper at all. They just don't want any of it tracked the same way drug dealers don't. Or garage salers don't.

maybe my experience is different than most....This is purely for expedience. My schedule doesn't work well to meet the seller outside of today, so I stopped into the CU this morning on the off chance they'd be willing to help me out. Turns out, they would.
I have to report it anyway, since I'm a clearance holder.
Also, I work on a military base, so there's very little in the way of crime that happens around me during the day.
The bank I pulled the money from is an investment bank, chief.maybe my experience is different than most....
I need large amounts of cash (lets call it 5k+) I walk into any branch of my bank, go to the counter (or at the nice bank, they help me out at a desk) and ask for a cashiers check for that amt from this account, and they make it. Maybe a 10 minutes transaction rather than a 5 minute one for cash.

ehh, that i kinda get. If you never have buffer in your bank account and you are waiting for one thing to come in, so you can pay another thing, then checks are unreliable no matter what type they are.I think the only real difference is the livestock community way of doing business. Tons of 'slow pays' in the industry and when things turn to larger deals, $1k+, cash = less work for the transaction and the buyer & seller can get on with their own lives without 'idk why my bank is taking so long/why there's no money in the acct/why that cashiers check won't go through.' & there's also the 'we don't need no stinkin' 3rd party blessing'
fwiw, I've caught people giving me bad checks on more than one occasion. (not bad= bouncing, I get those, & know those happen. I mean bad=fake. )
I didn't have 11k sitting in my bank account. I keep the float far lower than that.ehh, that i kinda get. If you never have buffer in your bank account and you are waiting for one thing to come in, so you can pay another thing, then checks are unreliable no matter what type they are.
I'm a very quiet bathroom user, strings. I purposely pee towards the porcelain so I'm not splashing in the water. I lift the seat with my foot and lower it down with my foot again. But sometimes this doesn't work out and the seat goes slamming down cuz my foot slips. Don't ask.Don't ya hate it when the seat sticks and makes that slamming the lid noise when you stand up?
