Re: Sell me a Bitcoin?

Appreciate the offer, but I stay in Southern Cali. Is there anyway we can trade online?

You can mail me the cash, and I'll send you the bitcoin when the cash arrives. Exchange rate would be mtGox bid price (plus a reasonable fee) at the day and time that the cash arrives.

Wow! Mail you the cash? I thought bitcoin was a way to have secure transactions.

It is. Unfortunately the OP doesn't have any bitcoins. So, how can I receive an irreversible secure transaction from them before I send an irreversible secure transaction to them? I'll accept a U.S. Postal Money Order as well.
