Pay pal and credit card aren't the only ways to pay. Vendors can take an order, and wait on a check to clear or get a money order. If a guy needs to be discreet about spending money, then a money order converts cash to a check that
The Significant Other won't see. Just make sure that the vendor is gonna be able to convert it to cash. BUYING a money order is easy. I was buying one and the guy in front of me was being turned away, trying to cash a money order.
I Was at a grocery store, though, not a bank. Once a vendor has called their bank and asked if they honor all money orders and if not, which ones do they honor, then the customer can buy one for the princely sum of 89 copper washed zinc slugs,fill it out, retaining the receipt end, place it carefully in an envelope with a note confirming the items it's meant to pay for, which not only eliminates potential for miscommunication , but also camouflages the money order.
We have Pack and Mail. I like it better than the USPS, for mailing stuff and getting a tracking number. Important enough stuff gets the costly treatment, Return receipt requested, and someone accepts and signs for it..
I had no idea what kinda money was involved in serious model rocketry until I found this place. I recently discovered that a guy I've known for ten years is a rocket guy. He has a , I wanna say , a J motor, whatever it is, he said it cost about thirty bucks and in the right rocket, could approach a mile high.
And now, I'll go to another thread,,, and address some of the suggestions you guys have given me.
