Will you take a check?

[Nitemare]

Put up a flyer around my college for a chemistry book and 2 supplemental chem books.

Got a phone call from someone I have never met before that wanted the $140 text book for what I was asking for it, $70.

Then she asked if I could take a check because she didn't have that much on her. I said cash only and she said she would call me back...


48 hours later, nothing...

She obviously didn't have the money and was hoping to float the check to you...

i would take a check from you Nitemare, but i don't need a book, thanks

Tell her to hit the ATM - I wouldn't take a check for that. In fact, I won't take a personal check from anybody I don't know well.

Thats business pal, move on

sounds fishy to me. Really.. how hard is it to find an ATM?

Bounce one was what I was thinking.

That's like writing a check for a cab ride...pointless

I really like mushrooms on my pizza. I find that the subtle taste and texture add a measure of depth to the entire experience.

You should have told her you'd have to see pics first.

I would have taken the check, but cashed it before giving her the books.

if she doesnt have an ATM...make the check out to cash?

You can call the issuing bank and ask to Verify Funds on the account before you give her the book...

Wouldn't it be a helluva lot easier for her to go to an atm?

A check gives her a record of the transaction. Which is generally a good thing to have when buying something of indeterminate condition. I wouldn't have bought your book for cash either. I wouldn't have minded you waiting for it to clear either though.
