If anything I would wait for his agent to actually show up?

This is a classic scam that most people get hit with when selling higher ticket items through various websites. I thought my sarcasm was obvious when telling the story. Again, sometimes when you play along with them it can go on for weeks. Check out this link showing a movie one Nigerian was coerced to make (through skillful manipulation and naïveté on the Nigerians part, attempting to comply with a misunderstood victims request before sending funds). The Nigerian thing started 30 years ago by university students attempting to extract funds from various expats in their country.
