If the 3k is enough, or more than you actually offered the RR for sale, then
I'd be tempted to take and deposit the payment ... then stall for a few
weeks to make sure it's cleared properly, play him at his own game ...
You'll soon know if it's a scam ...

No you wont. It can take six months for a cheque to bounce.

It can take anytime - a cheque never actually "clears" in the sense
that non-banking types in the real world understand it. And the
bank can withrdaw the money from your account without notice, and
without your consent, at any time, without a thought of the consequences
to you - all because *they* made a mistake. Nice people.

There's a very good reason that the collective noun for 'banker' is a
'wunch'

We have a check for £8000 on the pin board, same deal, recieved for a
vehicle that was sale for £3000, needless to say we did nothing with it.
Search on google under this sort of thing and you will find all sorts of
advice. We rang the local police who said something along the lines of 'yes
and....' still got the cheque though, it is useless as it can be reported
stolen at any time and funds withdrawn from an active account. Opening a new
account, banking clearing cashing and closing is tantamount to knowingly
handling fraudulent funds and not looked on to cleverly in a court. Ignore
and move on, but dont be surprised to still recieve the draft in the post.
We did and we had already told the scammer to sling their hook. Makes a neat
souvenir!

Pay it in, acknowledge it'll be taken back, skim the interest?

Not necessarily - unless it can be clearly _proven_ as an _act_ of
fraud - in other words, with the intention of defrauding the bank -
note, 'bank'. The reality of course, is that it's fecking impossible
to open a new bank account these days without sooo much ID and checks
being carried out that you'd be barking mad to try to do so in order
to get a mere 8K - Courts are not going to be your worry, but you'll
suddenly and mysteriously find all sorts of nastyness going on in
terms of your credit worthiness - whether it ever goes to Court, or
not.

Can't you just go cash a cheque, like for 'cash' with the bank who
issued it in the first place (not the branch, kust the bank).
You can here.

Can't you just pop into one of those cheque cashing places (that have
cropped up all over the place recently) pay a couple of percent in
commission and walk away with the cash? Never tried one so don't really
know how they work ...

Almost as regular as the ones asking for help to transfer billions of
dollars out of Africa/Eastern Europe.

If something seems too good to be true - it probably is. Your vehicle
disappears and 6 months later you get a call from the bank to say the
international money transfer turned out to be a fraud, and guess who has
to pay up.
