There is a bar & grill that makes good food, broated chicken & pizza esp. In a town of oh, 100 people here.
They don't take credit cards.
So when a baseball kids tourny was, folks from 5 states away were here, and ordered a meal. Well was maybe 5 or 6 meals on the table.
They had no cash, and no checkbook, and didn't know what to do when the bill came & they realized.
Owner said here's our address, mail it in when you get home.
They just couldn't believe that things would work that way.
Now if I'm advertizing on Craigslist & someone from a state away calls, Id be a bit cautious.
But a local person, I'd rather have the check. Cash reminds me of drug deals and on bigger items the buyer is hung out withouta paper trail as far as stolen goods and such - as well don't like the idea of a stranger knowing I have a chiuck of cash sitting around. Special bank checks donno what they are, and can be counterfitted easier than personal checks, no point to that.
You can tell when the person walks up, what their intentions are. Anyhow, about as good as anything else. There isn't anything 'secure' any more if that's how people want to play.
Bought a chisel plow at an auction couple years ago, dern lost my checkbook I suspected it fell out of my pants in the bedroom but didn't know. Auctioneer said mail a check when you find it. I said I'd leave the chiesel plow there, he said doesn't matter, take it now.
Things are a little calmer around here I guess. I'm really uncomfortable with the solutions many of you have to this - seem scarier to me than just a check. :)

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
