I understand the concern. But the solution is to sell to a legit reseller (eg, CarMax) if you are worried about your ability to detect scams in real time. You’ll likely make less but you have the benefit of a deep pocket on the other side. You also shouldn’t feel the need to engage in proactive disclosure with a CarMax-like buyer.

Cash can be counterfeited (pretty easily now). Cashier’s checks can be forged. Crypto is probably the safest but if you are concerned about your ability to detect scams, I can’t recommend crypto to you. Transacting at a bank is probably best (watching the teller issue the check or cash).
