Why do these always exist before the internet? We can order bullion online now. It's almost midnight in a fairly rural area
But yeah, I know a guy that will sell certain things for cash that normally require legal hurdles. But if you show up, cash in hand, he'll backdate things on his end. One phone call, I could buy out his stock in fifteen minutes because I'm a regular customer he trusts. He's usually got a few hundred thousand of goods in place.
Barring that, I'm kinda screwed at this time of night.
I know a couple of farmers that would let me buy livestock in cash like this, but that's only going to be a few thousand bucks.
I know a weed dealer that would be able to give me a few pounds if he's got it in, but I would have to call and ask how much he has.
Do services count? If so, I've got an idea for a cheat lol. Hire my wife for a back rub.
So, I just took a second and sent a text to an acquaintance and explained the scenario. Turns out you can buy a car in an hour or less. It's just a matter of paperwork to make the sale official. So, if you know a car dealer, and they have enough on their lot, you could easily get rid of most of that million in time. Most of the time wasted isn't really necessary. If the dealer and the buyer are already on the same page with the price, you could get as many cars as you have time to sign for.
The fact that it is only cash makes it difficult
It would take your hour counting the cash.
