The postage and bank transfer fees alone are more than the coins are worth, even if they were free.

Kind of what I was thinking...

I have to say, I have never sent to or received a package from Sudan. I wonder how likely it is that a cash payment would make it all the way? Transfer fees stink. I do love those earlier bronze pieces, oh well.

I think they guy wants a bank transfer to Europe or Western Union, both of which might be pretty secure. Still, you would REALLY want to have the coins or buy enough quantity to make it worthwhile.

He also said payment after delivery, so that's a good sign as far as his honesty is concerned. It's just that he's expecting a lot of effort from U.S, buyers for coins which aren't that hard to find.
