Just asking out of curiosity, have you tried to look through any deals in the different P2P exchanges available for your payment method and location?
There are quite a number of them with adverts from different users.
Alternatively, you can use the same p2p platforms to create your advert and wait for orders from your potential counterparties who may agree to your terms
I have already tried everything including calling random businesses who used BTC or use it and they don't want to sell. Everyone wants to hold their BTC. No one wants to sell to me. They don't get that if they buy more and sell to me or just share, btc adoption goes up and that's good for everyone. On Bisq, it sounds easy to do something stupid and lose one's security deposit, as even if you just want to buy person to person, you still need a security deposit. That isn't worth it if there's any part of Bisq you don't understand. No other p2p platform worked for finding someone in NYC, they are only in other cities. I also looked into pubkey but the owner(s) do not appear to be sane people so I don't think I want to do any transaction in there. I could instead meet a customer of pubkey at a suitable place that isn't pubkey.
So I still need a seller in NYC.
have you tryed on craiglist or similar sites ? thats how i got my deals i used leboncoin in france you just have to filter out the dodgy peoples and be carrefull
