Payment at card shows?

And counterfeit currency? OK, you're really grasping for straws now. They sell these at Sam's which pretty much eliminates the risk of the seller accepting counterfeit currency...

So you're contending that a buyer has NEVER been scammed at a show before? There has NEVER been an occasion when a dealer scammed someone?

And you're calling my counterfeit currency argument "grasping for straws" when your earlier note about the potential for chargebacks happens less than .1 percent of the time?

Pot, meet kettle!

If by "grasping at straws" you mean I'm looking at something that's such a small percentage of transactions it probably isn't worth worrying about it, I think you're right. And it's exactly the same "grasping at straws" argument that you make when outlining the risk of a chargeback.
