Shipping to Nigeria

[Omnipotent]

So, I posted on craigslist about selling my brand new Nike Vapor Max Air Backpack, and some man said that he wants to buy it. He is proclaiming that he cannot pick it up and that he wants to send it to his brother in Nigeria. I know that they have "customs" and that I'd be paying hundreds of dollars? Anybody deal with this before?

Here is my post:

"Nike Vapor Max Air Backpack - $70 (Melvindale)

This item was just bought. All tags are still attached, but I do not have the receipt. Retail price is $80, but I want $70 in cash. Contact me by my phone number if interested. We will meet up in my area (I am sometimes in Taylor, so let me know what is easier for you).

I will send pictures of the backpack as I am unable to upload any.

It is the "Dark Grey/Black/Light Crimson Camo" version."


Here are a few texts that he sent me:

"Sounds good, i will love to come and pick it up but am not around am willing to pay you first in full now if you can help me and ship it to my brother in oversea am offering you $180 with shipping cost do you have paypal account so that i can transfer the money to you"

"i want to get it ship to my brother in west africa"

"here is my brother potages address (Name: Collins John) (Address: No 159 ijesha road ijeshatedo) (City: Surulere)(State: Lagos)(Country:Nigeria)(Zip code: 23401.)"

Is there any way to get around this shit?!

(I have no idea where to post this.)

If you don't want to deal with all that, just kindly decline his offer and wait for another buyer. Good luck with selling them though!

Thanks for all the feedback;, I just wanted to see if there was anyway to get around the customs.
