@scott5011 posted:Just wondering how the members sell more expensive items at train shows. Do you accept checks and let the item leave or do you hold item till check clears (adding a shipping charge to the price)? I am not set up to take credit cards. Do you think verifying D.L. # and photo safe enough? Maybe have an ink pad for thumb print on check? Thanks for any input.
Where do you draw the line for 'more expensive'? If a potential buyer is looking for a GGD Santa Fe set he more than likely brought three thousand in cash with him. If he is looking at twenty dollar cars and sees an eight hundred dollar engine, he/she may not have that much cash with them. If they live within a reasonable distance, accept a non-refundable deposit, give them a receipt and wait for them to return with the balance. John
