I was at a large train show, and negotiating a purchase of several standard gauge train sets. The seller was being extremely stubborn about the price which was well over a thousand dollars. I couldn’t believe it but when I counted my money I was ten dollars short, and he wouldn’t budge on the price. I asked if I could write a check for the ten dollars and he said keep the cash and write a check for the total amount. I asked if he wanted my ID and he said no just write your phone number on the check. A few weeks later I was at the Fall York and had the same situation but I had sufficient funds that time and when I pulled the cash out the seller said he would prefer a check if I had one.
