Message:: [QUOTE="Owle, post: 1786937, member: 22004"]Last weekend I bought some numismatics from a flea market dealer, paid him cash for the first item around $700; then I showed interest in some of his other items and said I had a limited amount of cash on me for group #2.  So I said here is a check and ship them to me when the check clears.  He said take the coins and if the check bounced he would be at my house banging on the door for his money.  lmao!  If the check bounced he would never find me as the address on the check differs from my physical address.  But I have lots of dealer credentials which does help in knowing who to trust, or ask around with other dealers who have taken your checks.  Without something to go by, taking a check is just dumb. Here are some pictures of last weekend flea market dealer's inventory, not the Albany show guy: <img src="http://i.imgur.com/lBlTX2p.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/AGqSWjN.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/HoiC92n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/OL6n9VO.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
