JR - he's already said the magic words "wire transfer" and "shipping at his expense" so I think he's for real. He just asked if I'd help on this end - so maybe all I have to do is box up the bits and pieces and pat it on the rump as the truck loads it?

I'd agree about the cost scenario if this guy was in Europe - but he's an Aucklander - one of the few places where the cars might be more rare and more expensive to come by.
