Funny you mention bank checks. The risk with them is quite high.

I brought one down to Florida with me to pickup a Toyota Camry from a reputable e-bay seller. He advised that he would need to telephone the bank to ensure that the check was legit. I told him that would be fine.

I get down there and he finalizes the transaction. It's getting past 3:00 and I remind him to call the bank to verify that the funds were good.

He replied that he didn't need to do that. He had a sense that I was legitimate after our conversation and test drive.

The flip side, Aaron, ..........amazing.
