    well, Did you put the site on its own Cpanel?
    If so then give them the login and let them move it. If not then you will have to download everything and give him a zip and he will have to reconfigure the db when he reinstalls it.

    you can export the posts and provde that as a file and give him a download of the theme and plugins and he can do a fresh install of WP and import the posts and upload the theme and plugins and your done.

    You buyer will need two things:

    A copy of the entire site in a zipped up file, you can do this via cpanel or using an ftp program..

    A copy of the database.. The easiest way to do this is to install and use the plugin WP DB Backup
