Ok, I sold my Evader on ebay, for a pretty decent $150 shipped. I get a money order for it, but it's not signed.
I took it to Wells Fargo bank, the idiot teller asked me if I knew the guy's name. I said I did. Get this: he says "well, you know what you can do, right? No one has to know."
I told him I am not going to forge a name on a check. This was in front of me, his trainee, and a friend of mine. I am so fed up with idiots, it's not even funny anymore. Glad I did not send out my r/c car before attempting to cash this check (I always get the cash before sending anything....)

That's rich! I've never heard of that before. I'd send it back to him and tell him to sign it.

yeah, I get irritated by things like that too. People just don't flippin care. It's like my Amex card. I don't sign the back, instead I write "See ID". I can't tell you how many times I hand it to a cashier.. she turns it over for a quick glance and continues to process the sale w/o even asking for identification. Rediculous.

I do the same thing with the same results! I'd venture a guess that half off the identity theft problems and using SS numbers to obtain fraudulent CC's would go away of these folks would take two seconds to check ID.

you could call or email the dude and ask if its ok if you signed it. I wouldnt do it without his permission though. Ya probably wouldnt get into trouble, cuz I'm sure he thought he signed it, but just to be safe, Id ask his permision.
