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.
I'm not on a high horse. Guess you didn't read where I explained that my CU wouldn't give me cash; they would only do a cashier's check. And you really truly need to work on your reading comprehension because it wasnt a phone call. We met in person and he agreed to the CC. Then THE NEXT DAY he emailed that he wouldn't take it and before I could even reply to his email to try to work it out, he emailed again saying he was going to show it to someone else and sell it to them if they had cash DESPITE the verbal agreement we had and (half-assed) bill of sale he had made out to me. It was just a sh*tty way to treat me after I'd driven so far to look at it. You'd be pissed too.
