Hello! I want to buy about 16 btc, but im not going to pay ridiculous bitstamp + 15%

Prefer to get it from a trusted member, probably not going to trade with someone who has no feedback. You can look at my post history, ive bought many times off this site in PM and in thread. I can pay in whatever method preferred, but I would like to use a method with the least amount of fees. Can text me at 3177770761 if interested or of course just post in thread. I will NOT be dealing with scammers, so don't even try. I will probably use an escrow too if I can find someone.

What's your point? It's still a phone number, doesn't matter if the poster requests to be texted instead of called.

The point is that this is most likely not the OP's "real" phone number. It is potentially a pinger or prepaid phone number that would not be difficult to disregard in the event the OP starts getting a lot of random phone calls
