Please ignore the trust ratings on my account as they are not valid.
Yeah, right!

In case you didn't know, there are reference links for each of those ratings and even if you've edited some of your posts, we could still access the unedited version
[thanks to a couple of users that archive every single post almost instantly].
I will also give you my personal phone number and/or email to communicate, so we do not have to use Escrow.
None of those ensures the safety of buyers!
I would like to avoid using Escrow due to miscommunications where funds can get held up if there was a scam to occur
~Snipped~
I do not want to use escrow as there is still a chance for me to be scammed
The whole point in using an escrow service is to make sure both of the involved parties are safe
[not just one of them].
and if not I can always verify my personal information with you to insure that I am not a scammer
Unfortunately, it's not that hard to fake those!
I would prefer you to just the payment to me
Anything else?

and if I sell 100 of these laptops through escrow there is bound to be a few people who say the laptops are damaged, not working, not as described, etc.
In case you forgot, you only have three laptops!
In regards to other nonsense things, it's not worth the trouble/risk.
