I was wrong in using the term "cashiers" check when I should've used "certified" check, which is an important distinction. The check I took to my bank was probably certified, which simply means that at the moment the check was written, the bank verified the account holder's identification and that the account held sufficient funds. A cashiers check is when the bank transfers the account holder's money into the bank's escrow account, which then makes the bank responsible to the recipient.
In any event, as others have said, and as I always practice as a CL buyer or seller, cash is the only way to go.
