If you accept a cashiers check make sure to call your bank and ask them when the check will clear and then verify that date it did clear...If you accept the check for 1/2 payment then I would want the balance in cash when we met for the exchange...also I suggest you get all the info you can about the buyer as a precaution...cash can be fake also...good luck and please post your results and the way you handled it for others to read...
