If I am anxious to get it I will Wire them the funds but I am not in a rush most of the time.
I would prefer to use the credit cards for the rewards points. However Heritage for example charges 3% of the total price of the purchase/Buyers Premium/tax and as a result it gets expensive and is more then the value of the points.

You could also do what Jeff and I did and exchange cash and cards at a Burger King parking lot.

That worked out well but I did not get my fries.

I always like personal sales where possible and I always like if possible to do in person meets to complete the transaction.

Always good to meet people and make connections.

Unfortunately not possible with Auction Houses (although some if close enough will allow you to pick up at there location)

Jeff, you might have gotten your fries if you and Pete had done your exchange at a McDonald's parking lot.

I prefer to pay my auction invoices online via my bank account, just like I pay my utility bills, credit card statements, etc.

Check are my preferred method. I'm in no rush to get the card in hand usually.

Wait, I didn’t know Jeff did Burger King Parking lots. We did it the Scott way of using a check and cards through mail.

I prefer to pay via Bitcoin, checks, wires, in that order.

Wire and check are the only real options over $5k IMO. Crypto as well but that’s not my arena.

Credit cards with rewards might not be a horrible idea either. Does kind of suck to have to wait for a check to clear. No clue if that’s normal process or because I’m not a big time buyer at AH’s

Sorry you live a little to far for me to drive.

Great transaction and interaction. Thanks

Pete and I should have met at McDonalds since they have better fries
