[QUOTE="soonersfan, post: 1967336, member: 9063"] Does the check have contact info on it? It is worth a phone call to see if it was an honest mistake. While it is highly unlikely, the guy may just be bad at balancing checkbooks. I've learned a couple things about taking checks. First, don't take checks. Second, if you can't abide by rule #1 make sure the bank on the check has a local branch. Third, only cash the check at the bank it originated from. If there is not enough money in the account, the bank will simply give the check back to you and you can keep trying until there is enough money in the account. I gave up trying to read people a long time ago. I've had more than one employee who I highly regarded rob me or attempt to rob me blind. Still, it's hard to not make a sale and I'm sure that goes double for a vendor who's trying to liquidate some product at the end of a show rather than take it home. I hope it all works out somehow for you and sorry that it happened. I've been there and it sucks. [/QUOTE]
