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. :)

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
