in this day and age I avoid checks at all cost

If it's a local sale I'll ask the buyer to meet me at HIS (or her) bank to cash the check, otherwise it's either cash, paypal or money order, but even money orders can easily be produced off $50 printers these days.

I sold a bike on Craigslist a while back and someone 'immediately' responded and asked me to text him back a 'number' to make sure "I" was legit.

I thought about that for a minute and I responded with "Why? I'm legit, either you want the product or not".

I then googled the 'text me a number' deal and then learned by texting him (or her) a specific number (4 or 5 digit) I would authorize that person to have complete control of my phone!
