This is also a safeguard on situations where someone may have a check with your name on it but an account number that belongs to someone else allowing for money to be stolen. ID like this would prevent that from happening. Western Union scammers and others tend to do this a lot. http://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-02-2012/tax-refund-scam-alert.html

Dude if the picture I saw on that imgur link is what you are offering, I can go to radio shack and reproduce the same effects. That was a pic of a piece of paper with your user name on it and some kind of metal case behind it that is impossible to make out. Use caution folks...seller isn't helping reduce buyer risks.

Do I even need to say NEWBIES BEWARE on this one? NEWBIES BEWARE, no pictures, no trust, no previous posts.
well ive sent him a message hours ago when he first created this post and even asked on this thread to state a price and show pictures with a forum name still waiting i guess he isnt interested in making a sale
Or he/she possibly found someone to scam.

Honestly this sounds like a scam. NEWBIES BEWARE. The fact that you say your website payment system works GREAT but the site itself isn't ready for prime time is silly! Sounds like a scam hole where you can reap payment and blame your website for a malfunction on orders and make off with the coins at a later date.
There are many scammers. It is quite easy to figure out when someone is trying to scam. If a seller will not setup a deal in a manner where "both" parties are protected, then usually it is a scam.
Yeah, most times. But buyers are also sneaky. One buyer recently wanted to escrow with a site that said (and this is verbatum) "The arbitrators below were not vetted by Bitrated." So you want me to send my coins to who? Some random who could very well be yourself? The system as it is, is clearly not working.
I think you are exactly correct, the system is not working correctly. Negative trust for a user evidently is not a deterrent. For every risk reduction there is a counter.....for instance if a seller uses escrow they can fix their own escrow holder to steal coins, the same can go for a buyer. Paypal can be used by the scammer buyer or the scammer seller side. Looking at Ebay, the only way they solve the issue is through buyer feedback.....and that requires a bad sale or a rip off to happen in the first place. The immediate and anonomyous nature of bitcoin is the same thing that makes it useful for scams. Open to any ideas......

Would it be prudent to put an alert on these threads sooner...I mean the minute I see a pic of super hashing mining gear with no username or datestamp in the photo I immediately think its a scam and 100% of the time it's correct everytime....

Well you did say make an offer, so how about 0.3 Bitcoin for one? I know that won't float, but "negotiations start when someone says no."
