Yes, I planned on having all cash on hand so they pay no card fees and I am on good terms with them
afaik from visiting the shop and talking bikes as a potential buyer. I figured on having 15 $100's in an envelope and one more set aside in case he said no I could counter with how about $1600 out the door for the package. I'm at least 99 and 44/100 certain he's not going to poke me in the nose for making an offer.
