Just did a google search on his name because it seemed a VERY dogdy that he couldn't say which item he wanted. So i did a google search and found this page and another Scammer Warning site which explains what he's trying to do - it's a Western Union scam.. details seem to be quite clearly explained in this description of the scam

BTW,
What Im tempted to do is post another ad in Gumtree to bait this scammer, then give them the address of the vacant house across the street and when they show up to collect the stuff, run across the street and kick the living crap out of them.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
