I'm amazed that a reasonable person could believe that someone wants to give them thousands of dollars for free.

my next ? WTF is the purpose of a Cashier's Check if its no different than a personal check?
what if i get a legitimate buyer, how do i handle the transaction?

Deal in cash baby. Oh yeah.. Money all the way. I won't deal any other way... except credit card with a drivers licence and have the money transferred to a swiss account (you can set one up for 200 bucks) and then send an obscure amount back to your account. Safest way. LOL I used to work in corporate fraud. I have many ways about getting through that stuff. :-)
RE: seller beware???
Craigslits pretty much sums it up ...
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/about/scams.html
distant buyer offers a high-value (but fake) cashier's check in exchange for your item
* you receive an odd email (actual examples sent to craigslist sellers below) offering to buy your item site unseen.
* cashier's check is offered for your sale item, as a deposit for an apartment, or just about anything else.
* value of cashier's check often far exceeds your item - buyer asks you to wire the balance via money transfer service
* banks will often cash these fake checks AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE CHECK FAILS TO CLEAR
* scam often involves a 3rd party (shipping agent, business associate owing buyer money, etc)
