Safest Payment Method?

[caver]

I think I told this story before but a few years ago I paid cash for a fill-up. I go back in to get the change from my fresh $100 bill I had just retrieved from the bank. Before I head out she says it didn't pass the pen test. Try another one same thing, failed. I said try it on a $20 from your drawer. yep it failed. She tossed the pen and got another one. From then on I never trust those pens.

hmm... just an observation but in 4 pages no one has mentioned crypto (of any flavor)??

I would think 15 -16 ounces of gold would get you in the ball park also.

I'm old school, crypto to me is pretend currency promoted by 'influencers' .... I'm probably totally wrong but that's how I feel about it..... old

I don’t understand how cryptocurrency is valuable at all so I never invested in it. I also don’t believe that I could tell if a hunk of gold colored metal is real gold and what value. And I was a stock trader for years.

I'd go wire transfer.
Also many banks offer public notary for customers. Using this may reduce red flags on the transfer.

Thanks for all the input. Shook hands on a deal today and he's arranging a wire transfer on Monday then collecting the truck later in the week. About as safe as it gets I guess.
