But habit is habit: in the minds of many 'gamers', a VGC must end up as a MO.
The 10 pcs of paper is cold hard cash versus the MO still has a chance being withdrawn by the seller. If you have been in this long enough you would have read about such DPs, rare but happened more than once when the store managers thought they were cops out to catch criminals. The worst part is you have no clue until your bank which took the deposit had that reversed days or weeks later...
Fwiw, even ACH can be reversed days later, but cash definitely cannot be, just sayin.
