I have a gun and a carry permit. But honestly I have to ask myself - would I get in a gunfight over 10 or 20k? Hell no.
Quoted from DavidCPA:I agree that it is kinda annoying to run around to banks to get cash, usually quickly so I get first dibs, but I would have it no other way. All of my buy/sell is done with cash. I just always bring a friend(s) (aka muscle) for loading pin of course.... and backup.
Last time I called ahead to a couple local branches. Sometimes they have the cash on hand, sometimes they don’t. I made an appointment for a couple days later when they would be assured to have enough on hand. It worked a lot better that way. Also, when I am “shopping” I do not wait until a strike a deal then scramble to get the cash. I get it ahead of time and have it ready and it’s much less stressful and easier to jump on a deal.
Sometimes they ask what the money is for (kinda pisses me off). When I say I collect pinball machines it usually is just a short and pleasant conversation. They might ask a question or two out of personal curiosity. So if I ever actually do something shady, I think “I collect pinball machines” is the perfect cover.
Quoted from bluespin:Wire transfers can be cancelled weeks after you've received the funds and your bank says the funds have cleared. For me it's cash only in person. If I need to ship a pin they can mail me USPS Postal Money Orders. Once I've cashed the money orders, I'll release the pin to a shipping company. You cash the USPS money orders in person with your id. They don't get your banking info, so it can't be reversed. If they cancel the money order after they mail it, I won't be able to cash it, and they won't get my pin. Then I'll contact the Postal Inspector and let them know that the Buyer used the Post Office to facilitate a crime.
Can you please explain the circumstance under which a wire transfer can be recalled weeks later?
