Driveshafts are a lot cheaper than gearboxes. 

Yes they are.  At least it will be cheaper for the new owner to replace it.

Just got another message from the buyer, on closer inspection it's the driveshaft that's gone not the gearbox. 
Do I ignore his messages or continue talking to him?

Where has the driveshaft gone, someone stole it?  Theres a lot of it about.

SKF driveshafts for my car are less than £90. That includes 2 CV joints. I can take them off and put new ones on in a few minutes. I don't think the driveshafts themselves are as good as originals though.

I'd be surprised if the originals aren't also made by SKF.

When I worked with such things Ford etc. sold SKF bearings in Ford etc. boxes. We sold them in SKF boxes and charged Ford prices.
