I posted a sale on craigslist for a dining table. I just received an offer. The Buyer will pay using a certified check drawn from a US bank. Should I go through with the Sale? Is this a Scam? What are the precautions I should take?

here is the email that the buyer sent me.

Hello,
i appreciate your quick response on this sales i am very much
satisfied with the condition and i want you to know that my term of
payment is by certified check drawn from us bank due to some reasons
and i have my own shipper that will come for the pick up of the item
upon your confirmation of receiving and cash the check, and again to
let you know that you don’t need another buyer for the item so do
withdraw the advert from CL and get back to me with the following
information to
have the check mail out to asap.
1…..full name to write on the check
2…..full physical address to mail the check to please not P.O BOX
3…..Home & Cell Phone to contact you
kindly get back to me asap, Regards.
