Yes, checks bounce, but absolutely there is more recourse - including jail time for the one that wrote the check. If you have a bounced checked, that is a legal instrument, signed by the the one that guaranteed it. You can file on them in a small claim court and pursue it legally. With a charge back, all the credit card owner has to do is call his credit card company, report the card stolen and the merchant is SOL. That said, if I were a dealer at a show, I wouldn't take a check either. Too much hassle if it does bounce. As already mentioned, cash is king.
Don't take my word for it, read post #11 above from a dealer...
