Selling - okay to take a personal check?

Selling my Class A DP. Is it okay to take a personal check for the funds? I DO NOT transfer title until the funds clear.

Thus if the check bounces then that's fraud, perhaps even grand theft auto.

I know most suggest certified check, but those are easy to scam today anyway. (You need to call the back to verify, and find the bank number from Google, and confirm its a real bank.)

  • No..
    Not unless he is your best friend, who is well off

    It might clear your bank in a few days
    Then two weeks down the road the thing bounces because of fraudulent use, id theif etc..

    Real cash, get your bank and his bank involved
