Collateral MY nearly brand new 2016 Razer Blade Laptop, 512GB qHD+
Bought for 2,399$

Loan term will be 20 days.
Only doing with legitimate people , may or may not use a MM depending how trusted you are
(I will pay shipping both ways, to you and back. Returned BTC ammount will be 1.38-1.42)

Yeah I know I'm a new member, but I'm pretty well known on other foruming sites.
If you're looking to scam, don't waste your time here because I'm only dealing with legit and known members

Do you know that your laptop can be appraised at a much higher value than asking for a loan here in this forum? Going through all the troubles of sending the collateral to the lender and waiting for the payment and sending the payment again to the lender and waiting for your collateral to go back to your hands is troublesome compared to going to your neighborhood pawnshop.

Again I'm asking for a loan here because :
-I need the money in BTC not cash
-I don't have any clue as to how pawnshops work
-I need atleast 1,300$ worth in BTC
Honestly dont know how much a pawn shop would give for a pawn of it

Ok, let's take it again from the start.
-This is a problem with the most (not all) pawnshops all over the globe. No BTC method available.
-You give the item that you want to pwan and they offer you an amount for it.
-You will not get 1300$ for it in any pawnshop. But you never know...

I think that 1 solution is to use an Escrow that is near to you or at least in US.
You can send him your item, he will confirm condition etc and then the Lender will send you the funds.

Physical Collaterals have always "problem" because you need to ship them first, in order to receive any BTC...

I do not mind the shipping cost aslong as it's in US. Overseas is quite expensive, especially from here and back.
I am 100% fine with the Escrow holding the persons bitcoin untill UPS shows item delivered to the requested adress.
The person can confirm, but if they claim it's "not shipped" where UPS tracking from official site says otherwise, then that's the only time we'll run into issues . Which is why I'm avoiding dealing with anyone sketchy, even though middleman will be used

EDIT: Re read your post,
Yeah I'm definitely down to send it to the escrow instead who won't lie about it being delivered + it's condition

While I dont know if anyone would agree to do this here, I do see more concern for the lender. In the event of default, the lender would have the right to sell the collateral but if the lender inspects the laptop and see damages, or see it doesnt work like it should, he/she would be at a loss. If anyone here plans on taking this user offer, I would suggest that this user post in this thread a picture of his along with his username, and timestamp in working order. Have numerous of pictures taken of the laptop before it is sent to the lender (or escrow - which must be a trusted user here), and have pictures taken of the condition that it was received in, noting everything from any scratches, dents, etc. Its also probably would be best to boot the laptop, or use a liveusb to confirm the functionality of the laptop because if it doesnt function like it should, the lender would be at a loss as well and probably would have a hard time selling it at a good price in the event of default.

To the borrower, if you do get someone to agree to what is in the OP, make sure you weigh your laptop, take pictures, including condition of it (and functionality), before shipping with ups or fedex. UPS and/or FedEx may change the weight on their shipping so pay close attention to that. Also make sure you have whoever you send it to sign for it and then wait for their confirmation of the condition.

Good luck to you!
