The fact that bitcoins goes in reverse order then normal transactions on say Hardforum is strange... and i may pull my listing with that being the case.

PS KCMastrpc, if you read the whole post you would indeed see i did include my heatware username... While no you are correct its not as "Complete" as yours mines a handfull of positive decent sized transactions (mostly new motherboards and videocard) with zero complaints.

My ebay also has a few listings, i am by no means a freuent seller though.

Like i said i am not sure i am personally comfortable with sending first, i would never do that with a cash transaction so why would i with bitcoins?

First of all, welcome.

Here's the deal:  Observably, it seems like literally all Mac-related products listed on here are scams, and usually the first few indicators that it is a scam are 1) low post count especially when selling high-value products, 2) refusal to use escrow, 3) refusal to ship first especially to a reputable member.

There are so many scams on this forum that there's basically an unspoken initiation or hazing for newcomers -- either bite the bullet and ship first OR use someone extremely reputable on the forums as an escrow, or end up being suspected a scammer.

That being said, I would be willing to be an escrow for your sale for a 1% fee.  I would hold the buyer's coins until the buyer receives their product.  Once I confirm they've received it, I would release the BTC to you.  I believe there are others that might do it for free.

Kluge will do it for free, and he's extremely trustworthy IMHO. (Not to rain on your parade the joint)
