the dude seems ok,i know him from another board, meeting me halfway in another state, what kind of check do i need to ask for? i am thinking i will say we have to meet at a branch of my bank.....i know you are thinking get cash...but we are talking about 23 LARGE.....
A money order from his bank
Does he have a bank that has a branch near where you will meet?
Give a call to your bank too, they probably know the best way to deal with this
Meet at a bank he's banking with and watch them create a cashiers check. Not one of those "here's one we created earlier".
I'm with fritzsch. A money order would be a good safe option. If you trust him enough, just have him bring it to you. Understandable to want to see the bank print it up, though.
he has offered to bring cash.......23k....
Can you pack heat?

yes sir, i can.
I wouldn't feel comfortable accepting 23K cash. I would much prefer bank things at that amount, but if you feel good, go for it
I paid cash for a Porsche, met the guy in a restaurant, handed him an envelope full of money and he never even opened it. He said that counting money in public was crude.
I also bought a Subaru that was missing it's engine. That car was $1800 and the guy held every $100 bill up to the light to make sure that they were real.
take the cash. don't unload it until you have $ in hand and/or locked in your truck. take a buddy. have buddy document things from afar while you talk to the guy without looking like he's doing it - license plate number, description of guy, etc in case things go south. have camera phone at ready?
