To me it doesn't really seem worth it to do that deal directly based on those numbers. Look how it ended up. If they had gone through ebay, they would have kept both sides honest and made sure an authentic SGC 2 was delivered.
That all being said, if OP had to pay sales tax on an ebay, that could be up to $1000 on the transaction. That's a huge motivation to avoid ebay.

I think it was worth it. He had it on eBay for $8500, so he would have only netted around $7500 assuming a buyer would have paid his asking price. I offered $8K through PayPal, so with their 3% Goods & Services fee, he still would have netted around $7750 for the sale that way, and I would have saved $500.
