I rustled up about $50,000 cash once. The original estimate by a contractor for work on my house was $75,000. The cash price was $50,000. I was probably breaking some laws but reading stories like this makes me feel even better about doing it.

124,000 cash get's a hot looking hooker in Beverly Hills for a week. Beyond that, what's a dude carrying that kind of cash around for?

Story reeks of smelt.

LOL

I ALWAYS ask if a contractor offers a 'cash discount" Some do, some don't.

Ditto for stores.

If I pay cash vs a credit card, I expect something back for haing saved the vendor the 2 or 3% charged by the CC outfit.

Some do - some don't. If I didn't ask, I would not save the dough.

D'oh.
