Quoted from Raincity:As a buyer, I sure as hell feel a reward in not having to carry thousands in cash to meet a stranger in person.
I haven't had to do this yet, but I agree that idea terrify me. I've had good luck though: one purchase with PayPal (shipped!), another with a personal check (shipped!), and a third with a cashier check (delivered locally). I've been rolling the dice I guess...
