how abour 2btc for 10,000 ripples?
Sorry, that is way too much. I would give you 1 BTC for 10K ripples, if you sent first.
Bitmit is an option for some people, but you have to do the work of creating an auction, and compete against 100's of other auctions, bitmit takes a small fee, etc. You might get a better price but certainly not 2btc:10k ratio (unless I'm missing something!!)
They will still prefer to do deal on bitmit instead of doing exchange in newbie section with a new member and sending money first. Risk of loosing money.
You should accept Escrow and gain some trust here.
