Sell on you terms - you did fine. I suspect it is hard for folks to keep up with the internet world where you can't trust anyone. I come from a smaller town where a check is good for anything. Go to an auction & forget the checkbook, and you can take the item home anyhow, mail the check later. Banks are open until 8:00pm one night a week so people on shifts have a chance to do their banking (happens to be Monday in my town, it's Thursday in the neigboring town I believe....) Go to a big city (perhaps where the wife works?) 45 minutes away & the bank has a branch in Cub Foods - open until 7:00 or 9:00 every day, some hours on Sunday too - full banking there. I can draw $200 a day out of the ATM, so could raise cash that way, but might not get $750 by the deadline...... Around here when people ask for cash, they mean a check.... So, there is a good chance your buyer was on the up & up, & just is confused by your changing rules and lack of trust, and a bit put off that you don't trust him at all.... But, your sale, your rules, so you did fine. We live in a cold heartless world these days, everyone needs to adjust. Technology has made it too easy to fake documents of any kind. --->Paul
