(tangent) An old friend of mine claimed that he could get very low-ball offers accepted for used cars by showing up with his entire bid in hundred dollar bills in cash, he said that people were so mesmerized by the sight of literal stacks of currency that they would accept lower offers than they would for other "cash" offers that were otherwise some form of bank transfer.
- dzdt 9y agoAlternate explanation: payment in bills facilitates the salesman cheating his boss. The salesman writes up two bills of sale: one to you for the cash amount received, one to the dealership for the minimum price he can get away with. The difference goes in his pocket.
