Overall, I agree with Frank. A jury might not buy into, "But he's my neighbor and I figured he wouldn't lie to me."
However, the OP in this instance indicated that he intends to transact any sale through an FFL, so in that case I don't see any justification to pull the plug on the sale. If the buyer doesn't get denied, the seller has certainly done his due diligence. I fail to see how anyone could argue that he even might have reason to believe that a buyer who passes a NICS check is a prohibited person.
