Dude lets be serious. Why would someone accept 9.5 bitcoins from you and shell out $3700 when he can get almost 13.5 at today's rate?
Offer bitstamp rate AND escrow OR you send first. Its not going to happen otherwise.
I've already had 10+ offers to buy the laptop for me. Some scammers, some serious. I have one legit offer for $1000 discount on the laptop.
But that is still $200 over my budget

And why would I buy at bitstamp rate when sellers offer 30% off Amazon gift codes? Right on this forum!
Which buyers? I asked that question previously and it never got answered.
