Absolutely NO scan
You did the right thing by not providing a scan. It sounds like he only wanted a scan of the Elway pic for his personal Elway collection and had no intentions of purchasing the magazine. Otherwise, if he were considering actually purchasing the magazine but were concerned about the condition of the Elway pic, why not just ask, "Does the Elway pic have any rips, tears, folds, creases, etc.?" Had he been honest with you and told you that he collects Elway items and politely asked for a scan at your convenience that would be different. Instead he tries to come across as a buyer. You even refer to the individual as a "prospective buyer." He is not a buyer, but instead a complete waste of time.
To those that say they would have provided a scan, I have a little challenge for you. Call your local Chevrolet dealership tomorrow and ask for the new car sales department. When a salesman answers the phone, tell them you are a big fan of the Camaro and ask them to snap a few pics (no stock photos) of the new Camaro and email them to you. The first thing out of their mouth will be a qualifying question to see if you are a buyer or a waste of their time. Tell them you have no intentions of buying and that you only want the pics for personal use and see if they are willing to oblige.
