You have a clarinet for $2000 for sale.

I have a cashier's check for $5000. I'll send it to you and you keep the
$2000, and send the merchandise & $3000 (cash) back to me. In fact, for
your trouble, I'll let you keep another couple hundred bucks!

Cashier's check isn't worth the paper it's printed on ...
