... I tried auctioning earlier on this forum and unfortunately couldn't come to an agreement about shipping and payment methods with the highest bidder. Instead of auction I ask for offers starting at 1,5 BTC or the equivalent in euros or USD.
For anyone wanting to deal with this seller, please note that he doesn't accept any of the in this community commonly accepted payment and shipping methods. As the highest bidder I can confirm that he didn't want to use minerjones as an escrow because minerjones is, and I quote "
eagerly recommended by the members of the forum".

Would hate to see someone loosing his precious time on this.
If you were a newbie, and there were thousands of strange anonymous people in front of you, would you give your money to one that a few tell to be absolutely trustworthy?
It has surprised me how strong community spirit there is on this forum.
Don't get me wrong, but because I'm cautious and suspicous person, strong recommendations for one user to act as possible escrow got me alerted instead of feeling secure. Could that be for something the users of forum could learn from?
It's almost too good to find out that there's an online community where people help make money and help each other out doing something that's kind of like a hobby or something as enjoyable (well many might be total professionals as well). It could be like this and that would be a perfect situation, but I would need to follow the forum and its users for months to come to such conclusion and be sure about it.
