I would just send them back the check and tell them cash and local dealing only. You start screwing with some of these people especially since they your address you could be asking for trouble.
Putz advice huh! Telling the District Attorney is much better.
If you have a checking account other than your main one for bills, deposit the check, immediately withdraw $1700 in cash or whatever the difference is between the selling price and the check amount. Keep said cash, tell the 'buyer' to fuck off and when the bank comes calling say you sent the guy a money order and claim ignorance.
Wow, that's just about the worst thing you could do other than deposit the check and send the PS3 out.

My post needed a <sarcasm> tag.
Send the information to the local police and Post Office where the shipment was intended. By you using US mail, then the Feds can get involved.
Then send a notification that the item needs to be signed for at the PO with proper identification.
If the perps are legit perps they may pass.
If they are cranks - then they may be dumb enough to attempt to retreive the package and the USPS can nail them.
Total cost to you $1-$2
What a dumb question. Do nothing or call the cops.
Should have waited 18 days to bump it.I laughed so hard. LOL
If I was a cop, and out to catch criminals..i'd say to have you send a PS3 that worked...and throw a GPS inside of it, and track the fuckers...put them in jail, rinse and repeat.
