Back in time a bit, I used to find that making transactions in less than 10k made a difference. I should have tried deposits of $9500, $9500, and $9000.
That's called "structuring," and it's a federal felony.

But hey...as long as it only happens to "those" people, and not ME...
OK, I gotta ask the obvious....What is so special about that particular breed that you would fly to Scandinavia to buy a dog?!?We had a positive experience with a challenging purchase. We were looking for a specific breed of dog (Swedish Elkhound) that can basically only be found in Sweden and Finland. We found a breeder with one available and worked out a deal all via semi-strained English over email.

I've seen serious thread creep on VAF, but this one has gone to the dogs......
Guilty!
On an RV note: I'm nearing completion of my RV-7A, but now having added our 2 dogs to the household, I'm trying to decide if I should:
- Sell the plane as-is and start an RV-10 or
- Finish the plane, fly for a while (though no family trips with the pups), then sell and start an RV-10.
I once had a mechanic do a pre-buy on a plane that came with a spare cowling. After the pre-buy the seller decided he was not going to sell after all. - I was upset, but I cant make him sell it.
A few months later I bought another plane that needed a new cowling. I called the guy to see if he would sell me the cowling and he informed me that he sold it with the plane. Now I am more pissed, but not 1/2 as much as when he told me the mechanic who did my pre-buy is the one who bought it!
Now that is pretty low! I get that a seller might change their mind on selling, or selling to another buyer at a higher price, etc. But man is it shady that your mechanic came in and bought the plane out from under you.....especially after paying the guy for the pre-buy.
