Localbitcoin is the perfect website to do a person to person transaction because some seller there is offering a meetup transaction. Most of the traders that doing this meetup is using localbitcoin and not Bitcointalk forum since most user preferred there privacy.
Afaik they no longer list in-person trades and now requires mandatory KYC.
But op could try their luck on other p2p websites such as: agoradesk, hodlhodl, localcryptos
-no mandatory kyc for using them
-it's currently impossible to create a new account in localcryptos but anyone will still be able to see the current in-person trade offers. And if they go to a user profile, other means of communication are typically listed.
