    I’m definitely a cash on the glass buyer - however I have experienced a couple of times where the bank gets pissed off I’m withdrawing so much money in cash (these games are damn expensive!). They say they don’t carry as much day to day because people aren’t using it as much. One bank branch were asses about it - the other one politely told me that I should call ahead just to make sure they have enough on hand.

    I’ll save you the time and give the Cliff’s Notes version: cash on the glass. Pick up in person. Send another Pinsider if out of state to inspect the game. Only acceptable digital transaction is a bank transfer.

    Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

    Your not wrong. Why you were downvoted makes no sense. Transactions over $600 will be taxed if you sell something like on eBay.

    This isn’t happening any more . Maybe next year?

    Quoted from herbertbsharp:

    As a seller, if someone makes an offer over an email/PM and says "cash on the glass" I'm immediately annoyed. I will likely give them less latitude in my price, simply because I hate that phrase. I pretty much only take cash in person or bank wire for long distance. If I don't know you their are no exceptions.
    As a buyer I have no qualms with carrying large amounts of cash, never really had to go over $12,500 though. Did a $20k transaction over 2 trips to a really sketchy place (bad part of town, ex pro-wrestler owner named Jimmy Jact Cash who carried a pistol so he didn't get robbed) but it worked out well! Bigger the risks, bigger the gains, sometimes...

    Remind me never to make a deal with you! so you want to take cash on the glass but the buyer isn’t allowed to use that idiom? Sheesh…

    Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

    As a seller I make the rules. As a buyer I makes the rules. If the other party doesn't agree to or like my rules then there's no deal. It's that simple.

    Exactly
