Your seller got cold feet, I bet his wife told him that he was crazy for agreeing to take any kind of check. You're right, you had an agreement, but he must've gotten scared of being burned with a check. You should've had the check with you at the time and did the deal at once while he was still hot to trot. He would still be sweating the check going thru, meanwhile you'd be happy as a clam with your new RV.
I buy and sell things all the time, and would never take any kind of check, not even from a relative, let alone a stranger.
I'm building a tiny house to sell and will be looking to sell it for around $40K, it will either be paid by cash or a wire transfer to my account, only.
