Good Luck. Most things costing $9,999 come with a title...ie car, boat, motorcycle....not all, but most.
But very few cars, boats, motorcycles are purchased from a "clerk." If I'm buying a car, boat, motorcycle, I'm WELL aware of titling requirements and wouldn't be as likely to pay in cash. No, let me be more clear: I wouldn't pay in cash, period.
With my original comment, I was thinking in terms of jewelry, gold, silver, etc. Not cars or boats or motorcycles . . . . or trains or planes, either. ;-)
