rsnyder.2012,  100% positive feedback, only 18 sales to date however.  A little background, I work for an IT company and we routinely end up with old computers/servers/laptops that our customers do not want to pay to fix.  $120/hr to remove a virus on a laptop that's due to be replaced doesn't really make financial sense, when you can get a new one for $300. Anyway, we had a guy who would come and collect all the old & unwanted things to be recycled but I figured I could do the same, sell the working parts on ebay or craigslist and sell the remaining metals for scrap. It's not too bad, I've made a few dollars but the last time we had anything good come in was several months ago, I've also recently moved into a bigger house so that hasn't been my priority lately. We just had a company consolidate 3 Poweredge servers into one VMWare environment and I was going to go ahead and start a few auctions for the SCSI hard drives and server RAM, but I have a balance on my account from the last round of auctions I forgot to pay.  I usually try and do business over craigslist, something about meeting in person and finalizing the sale right away is nice. Like I said in the OP,  if I can get 1 BTC and sell it using localbitcoins to paypal I can take care of the fees and get to selling. Otherwise I have to wait until my paycheck comes in and pay it that way.  I'm trying to establish some kind of reputation here because this sort of thing happens to me every now and again and it would be nice to have a way to get a quick loan without a lot of hassle. 

That all being said, I do understand why I wouldn't be able to get a loan (especially at the amount I am requesting) but, you have to start somewhere and it doesn't hurt to ask.
