    Hi, First find out which database that smf forum is using by opening the config.php file. Next, backup (export) that database by going to Phpmyadmin in cpanel...and send that database to the buyer and also transfer the domain name..and his hosting support help him to install the database in his account.

    its called Settings.php. this file has your database name in it.
    chances are its the only database you have?
