i'm located in southern california and could arrange to be the escrow if someone would like to purchase these items. i will go meet aaron and ship out the items for you at a cost.
you do have some interesting things, so i'd be more than happy to facilitate a sale for you.
just let me know if someone is interested in your equipment and we can work something out
Weird. Why would anyone consider you as a trustworthy escrow? It's not like you have a well-aged account here with tons of feedback showing successful transactions. Even if, say, you were the OP's neighbor how would you guarantee that you would ship, let alone pay the bitcoins to the OP.
The escrow process involves the buyer sending you bitcoins upfront. This requires an enormous level of trust. A trust hinging on a genuine intent to pay those bitcoins to the seller (OP) and to ship the purchased items to the buyer.
This is just silly but I guess you are just a born cynic, nothing I can do anything about that. I was just trying to be helpful to facilitate this guys offer.
I wouldnt waste my time for shipping and holding escrow for 10-100 dollars worth of purchases to scam someone. Just look up the socioeconomic status of California residents. We are not located in eastern europe or some part of the country that would scam for 5 bucks.
Just trying to be nice, if you dont want me to be of help/service I honestly dont give two shits and dont want the hassle. But just ponder things before you spew nonsense like scamming for an in person meet up, shits just asinine.
I don't think he was necessarily trying to be rude. I think he's just bringing out a point about the desire of a lot of buyers to have an escrow that has been on this forum for a while and has an account worth enough such that it wouldn't make sense for him/her to dump the account to scam.
He's not saying that you will scam; he's just saying that the buyer and seller both need to consider every single outcome of the situation. I'm positive he didn't mean to come off as rude.
@OP I might be interested in a few things. I'll take a look back at this thread in a week and see if I'm still interested. There is some really cool stuff here!
