Hi newbie To me this does look like a scam. You will send the items and the money will not be released to you at all. Then you will be out the items without being paid for them. It happens all of the time. They want to buy the item and have it sent to Nigeria. It is great that you researched this and questioned it. You are one of the lucky ones who won't lose to a scammer. If you are contacted by this person again just either ignore them or tell them that you decided to keep the item for a family member.
