Sell on you terms - you did fine.

I suspect it is hard for folks to keep up with the
internet world where you can't trust anyone.

I come from a smaller town where a check is
good for anything. Go to an auction & forget
the checkbook, and you can take the item
home anyhow, mail the check later. Banks are
open until 8:00pm one night a week so people
on shifts have a chance to do their banking
(happens to be Monday in my town, it's
Thursday in the neigboring town I believe....)
Go to a big city (perhaps where the wife
works?) 45 minutes away & the bank has a
branch in Cub Foods - open until 7:00 or 9:00
every day, some hours on Sunday too - full
banking there. I can draw $200 a day out of the
ATM, so could raise cash that way, but might
not get $750 by the deadline...... Around here
when people ask for cash, they mean a
check....

So, there is a good chance your buyer was on
the up & up, & just is confused by your
changing rules and lack of trust, and a bit put
off that you don't trust him at all....

But, your sale, your rules, so you did fine. We
live in a cold heartless world these days,
everyone needs to adjust. Technology has
made it too easy to fake documents of any
kind.
