hal's got it.
Boot from the Leopard disk, Quit the installer or otherwise go to the menubar and run Disk Utility and wipe the hard disk. Now run the installer again and it shouldn't complain about not being able to be installed.
There are also instructions online somewhere how to prep a fresh install so that the next time it's turned on will show that "new machine' setup for the new user. Presumably the temporary user account you were forced to create during install would also be removed?
But do you really want to go through all that, when what the end user REALLY wants is Snow Leopard? If it were me I'd keep 10.6 and bring it up to date. I'd create a new admin account and provide the winning bidder with the login credentials. Delete your old user account plus any apps or other weirdness.
