Sounds like a scam but wheres the scam?????

Hi guys just after some thoughts on this one.

I work for an Ag machinery company and as one sales tool we advertise our second hand machinery on the web. A few days ago I received an e-mail enquiry on a seed drill from a guy in Queensland (where in Vic). The enquiry sort of read as you would expect with some of the usual questions but just didn't seem quite right. The guy seemed overly keen to buy it given the very brief details he already knew about it, the e mail was also from a yahoo account but did list a phone number. He also wanted to know if we had charges for payment by credit card

I tried the phone number but it rang out so I responded by e-mail answering his questions, he also asked for a no trade price in the first e-mail so I told him I would be prepared to negotiate but went no further than that.

He responded to that saying he would like to go ahead with the purchase but never made any more mention of a no trade price. He proposed a 25% deposit on his credit card and the remainder in cash on pick up and asked me what details of his I needed.

I replied saying it all sounded good but he would have to ring me to discuss details as I still thought he was suss as no one would buy a machine site un seen knowing so little about it. To my surprise he rang a few hours later and explained that he was a reverend from a church in Caloundra and the drill would be sent to a province in Africa where it would be used. He says he searched around in Australia and sent all the pictures to Africa where the said mine would suit their needs best. I told him to send through all his details and I would put the deposit through which I haven't received yet.

So if I receive his CC details and the deposit goes through I can't see any way he can defraud us in this situation. Even if the CC is no good nothing has changed hands yet so I can't really see how I can lose. I don't know this might be a genuine enquiry but it all just seems too easy, yet on the other hand with what he's proposing I can't really see any way he can defraud me.
