By the time the bank tells you the check is a fake 10-14 days later, you are on the hook for the full amount.
You can weed out the scammers by asking them to have a quick video call on Skype or Facebook messenger to talk about the deal. They will all tell you "I don't have a webcam", even though every cell phone and laptop sold in the last ten years has one built in.
Tell them you accept Venmo, Bitcoin or any other non-reversable online payment system.
Good luck with selling your stuff!
