if youre using Bitpay as the method folks can fund a project, is it converting to fiat immediately?  this could be disastrous if a project doesnt fund and BTC have to be refunded.

Im VERY interested if an escrow service is incorporated in some way.

Just to update and answer (even more) questions from coming in...

Cash in person is the only method I want right now.

Depending on how much you are interested in, I could go as far away as Denver, Chicago, Indianapolis.
Would love to do a deal or two Wednesday of this week (10/2)

Price negotiable depending on quantity purchased.  No deals smaller than 10 BTC preferred, but open to that as well.

imho, fastcash was THE best way to quickly and reliably sell bitcoins.  Wire, company check or paypal.  Awesome company.

Re: WTB: Car / SUV in MidWest USA for BTC up to 15K
by

Just wanted to follow up on this and about the dealer in Overland Park.

First, the good.  Prior to arriving, I emailed the sales department to confirm bitcoin, and to their credit knew all about the fact that they accept bitcoin. Had no clue what bitcoin is, how it came about or what you do with it, but knew the term and were aware.

When I arrived Saturday, the customer service experience was lacking.  I went there looking for a very specific vehicle from their used section, a 2008 Patriot.  Met a sales rep who said he had just heard about the bitcoin payment method but wasn't sure how it would work.  We took the Jeep for a test drive, mainly because I am a full size guy and wanted to make sure it could accommodate me.  BTW, not a bad ride, never been in a Jeep before.

After hemming and hawing around, I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and see what about getting it.  We walk in and he gets a finance guy and we start talking.  The car was $9995 on the lot, but I got it down to $9400, $10,515 after tags, taxes and other misc fees.   Here is where the rubber hits the road...

Finance guy knew about bitcoin piece, but had no clue about the exchange rate, wallet address, etc. He disappears for probably a good 20 minutes and returns a quotes me a price of 112BTC.  I knew when I left to go look at the car, it was around $130/BTC so quick math says they are asking for a little over 14K.  I did double check the price, and it had gone down to 126.  

There wasnt really any negotiation, and Ill admit I was on the fence, I didn't want to be buying a 10K vehicle and in a couple weeks see the same 112BTC be worth 22K (200/ea).

I bailed out...  But, its nice to know, I could have.  I will say, this to me is the seminal hurdle with BTC.   If you believe in BTC, how could you part with them so cheaply (relatively)?

the best in the business....simple as that.  Ive done 10 deals (30K usd) at least and all but one have been perfect.  The only outstanding one is 'in the mail' and I  didnt pay for the tracking, so thats on me (didnt pay for tracking because it was a very small check).

Ive done paypal, certified checks and ACH. 

+1 and way more.

Im looking for an SUV or larger sedan.  Ive been looking locally through traditional means but thought Id see if this attracts any interest.

Im willing to pay with BTC at a 10% UNDER spot at the time of sale.  I want to buy in person.  Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska Oklahoma areas...

Willing to spend around 15K.
