Is there anyway the seller can verify the check?
Is there another way to go about this?
Cash is not an option since I don't want to carry that amount several states away .........

Or should I just forget the hassle and buy from dealer .. I will pay more and have to add all the accessories that are already on the used one... But the transaction would be easier..
Bought my new bike at local dealer who would not accept personal checks. Had to get Certified Check at the bank, which is payable to seller. Seems like a safe way to go.
Even with a Certified Check, they called the bank to verify that the check was good.
Apparently they were burned with a fake bank check for $20,000.00 a couple of months back.
