Re: Idiot arrested at the shop today...

I've had a few winners try to buy a car with a starter check where they wrote in their name at the top. I don't think so, come back with cash, which of course never happened. I take checks in some rare instances and it's usually from someone older with a check number well above 5000. I usually also have them show me their account balance online, since every bank does that now. Cashier's check or credit card is usually the way to go on purchases over $500, but cc fees are spendy and you still have to watch out for bad cashier's checks.

If you are selling how hard is it to go to the bank together. He writes the check out to himself. He gets you cash from the teller you give title. You deposit money in the Atm.

But in some rare cases, you have real ballers stop in and buy a car with a money roll worth a few g's!! That's how I roll!!

Yeah, I thought it was weird that you paid for a car with a roll of wrinkled $5's and $10's. Makes me wonder how exactly you earned that money?

Yeah you looked a little stunned when my mom wrote that check for 22k. I didnt even think to tell her to get cash or a bank note.

Yeah, that was a rare case. But being you're on here, and your mom explained the situation, I made a judgement call and took a personal check. Funny enough, you can't write a check for a Big Mac at McDucks.
