That's what we do, pay cash as much as possible for anything we buy at stores. We're not criminals, we just like privacy. At times, we buy things on the internet, where they often want an email address. Next thing we know, we're getting lots of spam emails with targeted sales pitches. If I could pay cash on the internet, I would. Anywhere else, paying cash keeps us anonymous.
And what exactly does that have to do with second hand dealers paying by check or money order for stuff that is brought in to them?
So I thought US currency stated: “this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private”. Yard sales and swap meets are screwed.
How do I negotiate a check without a bank account? True a money order might be negotiable without a bank account but it’s not unusual to have yo pay a premium to cash it thereby costing me some of my value. One has every right to cash for a transaction. You’ll see when this stupid law is overturned
