Craigslist Scammers

Can I just rant for a moment? I posted a motorcycle for sale on CL last night and within 5 hours I was woken up by my first CL scammer. Should have known better and put my phone on vibrate. Anyway "Jason" from Cincinnati was ready to pay full price and wire me a cashiers check. I politely told him to F himself and then got to wondering, what exactly is the scam here? The guy wants to send me a cashiers check to "hold" the bike for him until his buddy comes and picks it up. OK, so the check is fake or never comes and I lose a week on possibly selling the bike. What's in it for him? Anyone take one of these scams further down the communication road and figure out what the scam actually is?
