When I decide to buy something and have to come back another day because I don't have the right vehicle or need my trailer, or something, I usually will write the seller a check for $50 or $100 to hold it for me. If they don't want to be paid by check, I give them the option of selling the check back to me for cash when I come back. We also have the understanding that if I don't come back, the check is theirs. This type of arrangement has worked fine for me many times. It shows that I am truly interested in the item and is enough money to fairly well insure that I will carry through. The only time it didn't work for me was when I was going to buy an 8N from a guy and wrote him a $100 check on a $800 purchase. When I came back the next day with my truck, the guy handed me back my check and said that after I left, another guy showed up and offered $1200 cash on the spot, so he sold him the tractor. I wasn't very pleased with him, but what could I do? At least I hadn't driven too far. I sure wish he would have called me though, my phone number was on the check. OH WELL!
