The most money you can expect to actually get is the $450 from the guy with 19 reviews. If it were my item I'd refuse the winning bidder based on not having any reviews and offer it to the $450 guy if I were willing to take that much.

Tell him you happen to be traveling to Nigeria on business and you'll be happy to make the exchange with him in person.

Tell Him that you accept cash only that's it. Right after that send the e-mail over to ebay to get your listing fee back.

Well, you obviously CAN use USPS to send items anywhere in the world (though they tender the package to whatever is the local postal service).
