Would you sell for cash?

MC is right though. the fed is a private company run by faceless oligarchs who’s names you don’t know. they literally give a handful of nothing to the treasury and when the treasury reaches for it, it becomes ’real’ in the form of YOUR debt for that work, to the private oligarchical families who own the federal reserve. it is literally a form of indentured slavery, enacted upon you, by the federal government and those oligarchs.. I kid you not. This is literally how the money works in the USA. Originally when I heard this about US money, back in 2000, I thought that it can’t possibly be true. But over the years, I found it actually was true. Kennedy died for trying to bring back Treasury issued money, which would have messed with the indentured slavery game. Just one of the reasons they killed him. Look up Jekyll island for some proofs about the fed...

Back to the subject at hand.

When I sell locally to people who are hesitant, i tell them we can meet in the local police front parking lot. The police say that this is the area for the ’nervous’ to do their craiglist and kijiji deals. 4 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, makes no difference.

although a 4 in the morning one would feel a bit weird.

I’ve sold quite a few items for cash only when the buyer wanted to do a in person pickup at my residence. But truth be told... I felt pretty confident of having the buyers over by reason of good feedback.ymmv

Yes

So you don’t wanna launder money? Then just forget the sale.

Another mark will come along.

Or not.

I would go strapped. Jock up and do the deal. 

Lots of good advice given, like selling in a safe place (i.e., the police station or some other public and well-lit location). I would add:

• Take someone with you
• have the buyer sign a pre-written receipt that you can bring with you, which includes the price, a picture of the amp, the amp’s serial number, and a statement that the amp appeared undamaged and that they paid you in cash
• photograph the amp and box while you are at the transaction
• have your friend discretely record the buyer’s license plate number
• Have the bank check the bills if you want - although I probably wouldn’t go that far unless something felt totally off (can you purchase one of those markers that detect counterfeit bills? - all the party stores have them)
• remember you can walk away with the amp if something freaks you out
• if you are paid in all $1s then @bkeske was right…stripper, if you get paid in some $1s but mostly $5s and $10s then…a more successful stripper…maybe bring a chair and give yourself some extra time 😎
