    Quoted from majicman110:

    Genuine and sincere question.
    To all of you who are saying "cash is king" don't you think that you are more likely to get ripped off showing up to a stranger's house with cash?
    I tell you I have a machine available for $4k. Cash only. I give you some random address and show up with a gun. When you pull up I wait in the driveway, tell you to come in then pull s gun on you and walk away with $4k cash.
    If you go through PayPal (not using friends and family) I would think you are much less likely to get ripped off. As a buyer, I would see it as a red flag if you didn't accept PayPal and expected me to show up with cash.

    Quoted from Fezmid:

    You got downvoted more than I think you should have. I agree with you - carrying a lot of cash on hand makes me nervous. Hell, the one time I had $5k in cash for a machine, I was super nervous walking out of the BANK...

    This actually happened in Albany, ForceFlow can confirm. Someone had a super sketchy ad and someone went out anyway and got robbed at gunpoint.

    My recommendation is to split the money up with other people, or hide it in your car. Never carry it in until you check out the machine and verify everything.
    I also never pickup alone. More protection with witnesses!
