Can you update you’re PM settings so newbies can PM you

Done. But please note I'm not interested in selling anything until I am comfortable that I have a relatively secure sales process. I'll make a separate WTS thread then.

Just use escrow...

Again, I would appreciate if anybody has any insights on this. For high value (1BTC+) items it doesn't seem to be "just" a simple process and is the reason for this thread, and why I'm considering an in-person transaction instead.

Shipping high value btc is a bad idea. Terrible idea, actually. Govs have been getting worse and worse with customs seizures. I guess if you’re the buyer and the seller is willing to take all the risks, well then that’s on them. I’d never send anything via mail 1btc +. I would meet at an airport during the day, bring a friend and just let them know you’ll meet at a spot say sizably inside the airport. Share your concerns with recent in person robberies /attempts. Let them know you know what’s up /what to look for etc. my last and final in person sale was done this way and the buyer and I had a great experience. We got to nerd talking so much, lost track of time and their sig other was buzz’s them plenty making sure they were all good lol. That said I texted them about the in person scamming and we both agreed we probably wouldn’t do it again. I’ve got a ton of history /trust ..but who’s to say I’ve not been hacked. They seemed legit, we had everything perfectly established and went over as planned to a T..but either way there’s risk and no getting around it, I suppose you could pay for armor shipping, security, etc..but at what price and loss of anonymity.

It’s a battle we’ve all been coming to grips with the harsh realities of. Also, are you an expert? How would you know for sure if it’s real? This is why I’m anti publishing first bits. Counterfeiting and privacy are bigger issue now that the entire public address list is out there.

DM always open

Edit - should have added we used an escrow. Upon meeting and seeing the coin, we then contact MinerJones, whom had confirmed payment for coin, then handed coin to buyer. It’s late im tired, big detail to leave out lol.
