I take it 3.8 is not good enough fer ya

...3.9 perhaps...?
Hehe. Sorry, have not gotten around to replying to PMs yet.

Am looking in the 4-5 range.
I know that last week, 4-5 may have been pushing it, but with the expected drop in network hashrate, I expext the difficulty to decrease/slow down quite dramatically in the next month or two. Hence why I think 4-5 BTC is more than fair.
Also, escrow is fine if it came to that, but pickup/meetup is better, so there's no wiggle-room for bad faith dealings.

I don't mind doing a road trip to an adjacent state, within reason (and assuming the price of BTC doesn't tank to under what it would cost to drive, lol)
