With a pun-ishing performance such as that,
Your audience could knot help but request an anchor performance.

If the check is written on a bank where you have a local branch, you can take the check there and have it cashed. If he has insufficient funds in the account, it will show at that branch.
If you cash or deposit at another bank... well, you're taking a chance.

Mike,
I have been there, done that, many times and I have learned many valuable lessons. Once I was selling an old car for $500 and the buyer insist he pays me by check. Another time I sold another car in cash and it gave me many headaches afterwards. Here is what I would do,
1. Unless it is meager item and does not have much value, I always insist on seeing the person's ID and willing to show my ID. I write down their name, address and phone number ( see item 3 below ). This came handy numerous times when I want to contact the buyer afterwards.
2. An exception to rule 1 I have a trail of email that can link to the buyer. During the email correspondence I ask for name and phone number so I can call them. That way I have their information.
3. Draft sale contract and have everything in writing.
As for the check, you can either wait to clear, go to the buyer's bank if there is local branch close to you and cash it right away ( ask the buyer to pay any fees ). Unfortunately not that many banks cash checks nowadays.

Don't
The check will be a forgery, it will initially show as cleared then later your bank will take the funds back off you...and you'll be up a creek without even a kayak.
If you really still want to go ahead with this, ask him to come with you to the branch to present the check.
|
|
|
|

If he can write a check with coverage, he will just as easily be able to cash it himself and present the cash.
This smells real fishy (and not just kayak!)

It'll take about 5 minutes. It's common practice to call the bank during the transaction to verify funds. The bank will simply answer yes or no.

Cashier's check, make the exchange at the bank. Have it deposited and verified on location before you unstrap the boat.
