Before getting on your high horse OP, you should know that a Cashiers Check is not money, is not cash. It is just an institutional promise to pay (ck) rather than a personal promise to pay (ck) and both can be phony as h... Cash is cash. Guessing seller advertised it for sale for "$xxxx.xx" and not for "a check of $xxxx.xx". Then it sounds like he reiterated his terms for cash during the phone call with you and you decided that rather than getting the cash from the CU and bringing it to the seller, you'd just join up here and rant. Sorry. Seller has the right to ask whatever terms he wants and you have the right to accept or not. As a seller, I would never do a private party sale to an individual or to a company, for paper promises. Cash only or a wire transfer to my bank with my bank confirming to me that it is deposited to my account. Buyer doesn't like those terms = take a hike.
