Would you sell for cash?


I just got an offer for my amp from a buyer on US Audio Mart and he wants to pay cash. He lives five hours away but has an employee in my town, which is a suburb of a larger metro area. He offered to have his employee pick up the amp and pay cash. The buyer has been on US Audio Mart for 8 months and has no feedback, which is not unusual. 

I guess the cash part makes me uncomfortable but maybe this is not so uncommon? So wondering if many accept cash with local pickups and has anyone had a problem.  Seems like PayPal or Venmo would be preferable. I guess I can see someone with a business drawing petty cash out for personal use. Just not sure about the whole story. Thoughts?

Cold hard cash is the way lots of police agencies fund themselves using asset forfeiture in make believe crimes. They confiscate, refuse to charge, give no receipts, and you're sh*t outta luck in getting it back. It's all done under the guise of "suspicion" and the local small town governments say tough luck. I guess you can call that a business.

One way to get around that is to trust banks, or at least credit unions, and use plastic for all your large transactions. Beyond that, go with god and good luck.

What a bunch of paranoid BS. Always the same ones tearing down our country and claiming to be patriots. Putin is getting his monies worth.

That is not what the OP said. Geezzz what a bunch of paranoid people, nobody other than the OP knows the amount of money that is involved.

They come out of the woodwork like that around here. Doesn't take much to trigger them. Probably saw a squirrel.
