Back in the 60's my father had a cousin who would hitch hike across the country. He looked like a bum most of the time. One day on one of his journeys he walked into a Caddy dealer in GA. Seems he was dressed in Levi's, torn t-shirt and Converses. Not a dime on him. Owner of the dealership walked up to him and offered him two bucks for food. He asked how much for the convertible caddy? Given the price asked if he would take a check. No Id, no check on him even.
Sorry I'd like to but you need to see a banker for that much money. To humor him the dealer said see if the bank across the street could help him. Over to the bank he went. There he asked the bank to call his bank collect and see if they would ok a check for the car? On faith they called collect, gave the bank his name and the bank took the call. The manager ask them to describe him. Told in hushed tone he looked like a bum, Levi's, t-shirt, tennis shoes, no socks and no hat. The manager told them he was good for any check up to 250k and the description was a match. The GA bank cashed a blank check for him and he went back to the caddy dealer and bought the car. Half an hour later he was back in the bank to cash a second check for fifty dollars for gas money. As a small boy I saw that car for years until he gave it to a busty blond who left him and kept the car.
Sometimes looker turn into buyers but so rare that most hear about then for decades. Problem is that a looker with money is going to spend very quickly once he makes up his mind. You got to be I the right place at the right time or all you'll ever see are lookers.
