Would you sell for cash?

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 😎

Thanks everyone. Lots of great suggestions here. I just got an offer from a local buyer and will try to work that angle first. Personally, if I have to go to the police station and check for counterfeit bills then that's not optimal, at least not for me. I'm going to hold off responding until I have more clarity on current negotiations with a few other buyers.
