Need some advice.

Had advertised something for sale and received the following e-mail. I've guessed he's trying to scam me but is there any harm getting him to send me the cheque and try and lodge it? Anyone ever heard of this scam before

It smacks of the classic rip-off with foreign (non-Irish bank) cheques / drafts. Personally I wouldn't touch it with a 40ft (metre) pole. You may discover having remitted the "change" from the transaction that the "certified cheque" / "bank-draft" / "cashiers cheque" is stolen or bogus.
