Message because it's a fancy looking piece of paper that says "bank check" on it, that it has to be guaranteed or something. I know, because I've had a large bank check bounce on me before.

Your bank will accept it and deposit it into your account, perhaps even crediting your account. You would then pay the shipper out of your account with "good" funds of your own. Then out of nowhere your bank would notify you in 5-7 days that the bank check you deposited is no good because it was drawn on a bank that either didn't exist or was insolvent. Of course, they would deduct the amount of the check from your account.

You would be out your car, and the price of shipping you paid to have it sent to the theives. In effect, you would have paid to have your car stolen by delivering it to them. Wouldn't make for a good day.
