    Yes, I was willing to let it go to him for $1500. As I mentioned, he had done a lot of work for me. Now that I have it back, the next time I go to sell it I think I post it for a more legitimate price. I think I could bring in a few more buck. Will wait and see.

    There is talk of the government wanting to stop making the $100 bill. They want to make it harder for drug dealers and people who get paid cash. :picard:

    Somehow it never seemed to bother me carrying a wad of bills to the bank. But yes, a $500 would mean less of them but the same net amount in the end.

    Around here, trying to get change for a hundred dollar bill is difficult. I would love to go thru McDonalds drive through at lunch and hand the kid a $500.00 bill, his head would probably explode!!

    If you want to drive to Cincinnati and don't mind 2WD my brother has a 1993 4banger 5-speed Ranger I bet he'd let go for cheap. It's just been sitting at my parents for a year since he bought a new Ranger.

    There is talk of doing away with the $100 bill. Supposedly because of war on drugs stupidity.

    Edit: I seen this was already posted above, sorry. It is almost a cut-n-paste, but I never saw Jack Straw 's post before.

    It's look like a drug deal out of a movie! You'd have a suitcase full of nicely stacked $20's!

    I once sold an IH 806 tractor, the kid that bought it only had $20 bills. He handed over a mason jar with $5000 in it and dipped into another one to come up with the rest that he owed. I only paid $2200 for it at auction two weeks prior, so I thought I did okay.

    Or...

    Don't ask for credit, what little we have is no good.

    Or...

    Helen Waite is in charge of credit. Those wanting credit go to Helen Waite.

    I have been in the credit and collection business for over 35 years, I don't mix business with pleasure. All deals are cash, wire transfer or PayPal.

    I prefer cash. And that money he already paid you? That's called "rent".
