First off, have a long look at > What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support


Next, Erase and Reformat the Internal Drive, as per > How to erase a disk for Mac - Apple Support


After that, install the original macOS that shipped with that iMac > About macOS Recovery - Apple Support

and let the new owner set it up and upgrade using their Apple ID.
