- Your bank will finance any purchase up to a stated dollar amount.
Wire Transfer
- In cases of wire transfer, we require a $5,000 deposit before giving you a buyer number.

Cashier’s Check

- If your total purchase is less than the amount of your cashier’s check, T&M will write you a check for the difference.
