I had a desireable item to sell and (this was in the days when you could see the identities of all bidders on a sold item there) I offered it by email to the underbidder on a similar item. When he agreed to buy mine, I listed it on ebay and he bid on it immediately. Both of us had some protection by going through eBay.

But be careful. He wants to be paid with Paypal?
