Thank you, both...I'm pretty active over internet, but very old-school when comes to bitcoin. I understand the value of a coin at current price values differently to each.

I add my localbitcoins ad in OP and it comes with escrow. So it should be safe if seller goes through that channel. LocalBitcoins is dominating by early comers with establish rep, pretty hard to break in for tons of newbies with identical listing. Ain't that easy F2F is not feasible at the moment mainly due to lack of experience and safety concern.

I will be persistent and thick skin, it should not be like this if bitcoin is truly part of our future...
