This of it this way:


You're selling something. You meet up somewhere and exchange the something for cash. It's that simple.


If somebody tries to complicate it more than that, it's a scam.

So long as you take a full week to clear it and then check with your bank to make sure it went through, it is pretty safe. It isnt like a regular check where there are several ways to pull the money back.

What raises a question is why send a certified check when the situation as described a normal check would work just fine.

not to mention they should come out and get the item unless you plan on mailing a washer and dryer to them.

Just as easy to "Western Union" you the money as it is to send a cashiers check.

It's a scam.

it's such a common scam, it's in bold red on craigslist not to accept anything but cash, and don't ship stuff.
