The Ford Barn

A few years ago I sold my 40 Ford at Carlisle Pa swap meet. The buyer was from North Dakota. I wouldn't sign the title over until I heard from my Bank that the money was indeed transferred to my account. Took about an hour. Now I will be at Carlisle again this year selling one and maybe buying one. I don't trust personal checks from strangers and I'm leery about bank checks. Last time, I had to set up ahead of time the transfer with the bank giving my account number and the routing number. I would like to avoid giving out that information. Cash is best, but I don't think many people walk around with large sums of money on them. I hate to pass up a sale because of the payment method but I don't want to get in a hassle over getting paid either. Especially when the buyer is from another state or country. Carlisle is huge. People come from all over. What would you do?
