You're looking to buy 1000 bitcoins... On a forum... For $7 million+.
Honestly, why don't you just use an exchange? You're willing to pay 1% when most exchanges would charge <0.25%. If you're not willing to give an exchange proper KYC documents why would you be okay with giving it to some random on the internet? Also, most people would want to charge a much higher fee for a (somewhat) anonymous buyer. It doesn't make sense.
You have 0 rep here, and you say you have an escrow that you would like to use. Who exactly is the escrow? If it's not someone known around here we'll have to assume it's either you or a friend of yours.
Sending in small batches means nothing when a small batch is 100 Bitcoins.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always stay skeptical with your digital cash people.
Maybe you should meet up with this guy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4311387.0

If you were familiar with bigger OTC transactions you would know that most sellers are willing to offer a discount for that big of an amount. So if you take that in account as well as slippage on most exchanges it actually make sense for both parties to agree on a price based on the spot on a arbitrary exchange at a given time. I understand that there is a lot of scammers hanging out here but the process I described above is as transparent as it can be. If you would like to know more feel free to send me an email defisico@protonmail.com
I'm very familiar with OTC trades and if also very familiar with people who avoid exchanges and why. If we're talking about an obscene amount of bitcoins, it's an (attempted, but never successful) scam 95%± of the time.
Pardon me if I just assume it's a scam and it works out. This just isn't the place to buy $7MM of Bitcoins, and if you read the forum history you would know that.
Thanks for the response I appreciate it. I just wanted to taste the water in here and see if I could get connected to a serious seller. And you are absolutely right most people that contacted me are absolute scams. But in case you know of anyone please connect with me. We are based in US and are 100% serious. Wed love to pay for a referral as well. Defisico@protonmail.com
Why not just go to Bitcoin meetups in the USA and meet people face to face? I have met some of the most interesting people to trade with at these meetups. I have also built up a very good trust relationship with them and they introduced me to some of the early bitcoiners with a lot of coins.
As you said, when you buy in bulk, some of these people are willing to go beneath the going rate of open markets & exchanges and you do not have to deal with fees. Hope you can navigate through the minefield of scammers around here.
Thanks for the response man, that is a great idea! I would love to connect with you if you have time, as I mentioned earlier - would love to pay for a referral! Message me on the forum or by email at defisico@protonmail.com
