Dodgy as anything.
I had one similar before when I was selling my old phone. I was actually quite nice to them even if they were a scammer, and just told them I was selling only in the UK and tough basically.

Yeah thats what i was thinking, the next bidder was only a pound less so i think i might say about only sending to the uk
 
Well i have just checked back on Ebay and the person who wanted me to sell it to nigeria is no longer a member!! LOL! Think that has just told me for definate that i did the right thing:p
