I've got a story from the 'other side'----in the late 70's/early 80's I bought a 90 06 Deutz, sight unseen from an amish farmer (deutz used for irrigation system). I got connected from a dealer at the nfms in Louisville, near my home, and I mailed a PCA check for $5000 to the farmer, and told him I'd be up in a couple of weeks to pick it up---I arrived two weeks later, in Northern Michigan, with a friend in a roll back, and was met by a wife and 4 pre-school stair steps who didn't know where he husband was, and did not know anything about the check being received. I thought we had gotten to see the northern mid-west for nothing----but I offered to give her a second check, a personal one, for $5000.00, in case the other had gotten lost, and she agreed to let me take the tractor. My PCA check cleared and I never heard from the farmer or the second check. It was a pretty good tractor though!!!
