Mitch, Hugh MacKay has a saying. "Seller never opens his checkbook". Anyone who is giving you a check for more money than you are asking for your merchandise, and wants cash back is giving you a bogus check. Don't be duped into thinking that if it is a cashier's check that it is guaranteed good, as cashier's checks are the easiest to forge and counterfeit. If you do accept a check, a personal check is safer since you can collect the funds before the item is picked up or walk the customer to the bank. Cashiers checks are for all intent and purposes third party checks to begin with, and are harder to trace as are money orders. Believe it or not, cash is a darned good way to do business, and it sure does weed out the crooks, unless of course they are masters in counterfeiting. I'd say offhand that if the only customers you are attracting for your merchandise is the ones who arent questioning your price, but want to pay by some cocamamie scheme, then your price is too high to begin with. When your price is right, you will attract legitimate buyers.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
