As has been said, a serious buyer would definietely ask for photos, service records, and probably make the journey to the bike. If you undertake the whole trip, you'll probably be under a lot of pressure to sell, so factor that in.
Having said that, without very detailed photos etc I would never make a deposit for a bike I havent seen, let alone to someone I dont know. They might run off with the cash, and even if they show up, who knows what state the bike is really in. I think meeting half way would be a good option for both. And I'd say try finding another buyer as a backup.
