Fake Check? | A Scam Story #2

Have you ever tried selling something online and had to deal with scammers? I'm trying to sell my couches and I've got someone texting who seems pretty suspicious. I've decided to document my interactions with him. What do you think? Is this guy for real?

I understood from other videos it looks as if your money is there and then it is gone and the bank charges you for a bounced cheque. I thought you just lose a bit of money like with any bounced cheque. How do you recognize if it is a real one or not?
