    Get his money first, unconditionally without recourse if he doesn't receive it. If he goes for that, send the part to him as soon as you have cash in your pocket.

    I bet he is trying to get around some kind of tax. But I would not do it as a gift either.

    If you send it as a gift you have no recourse....

    #1 You don't know this person... Correct?
    #4 If it has value, you should claim it as such...
    #3 If it has no value or very little.... Gift it...
    #8 Buyer beware....
    #12 Seller beware...
    #15 I think you are being set up....
    #7 It will eat into when you when you get ripped....
    #2 Post up how it turned out for you...
    #1 Good luck with sale.....

    Gifting gets away from taxes and in some cases custom duty/inspections.

    Heh, reminds me of the P-P-P-Powerbook!

    P-P-P-Powerbook! | Know Your Meme

    Briefly, someone in England wanted to buy a Powerbook from someone in the US (this is from 2004) and the deal sounded shady, so he scammed the scammer.

    Don't know him. Just told him I would ship it fully insured with signature proof of delivery and that I would not be gifting it. I will let you know the response.
