I bought a car where we met at his credit union (out of state, 5 hour drive). I had a bank check (with a loan) from my credit union and he wanted his credit union to deposit it and confirm it was legitimate before releasing the car to me. They actually contacted my CU by phone.
I've received bank checks as well, where I probably should have done the same, but didn't. Some buyers/sellers you trust, others not so much.
Best one was a guy bringing me $11K in cash. Took a while to count it due to a bunch of smaller bills (made me wonder about his profession, but as long as it was legal tender)
