how much are you looking for? i can buy you an online game code.
since i'm new to the trading game and have 0 rep, i'll go first. i'm not really sure what people usually expect, but i suppose you'd wait until the item is received until sending the bitcoins my way. we'll figure something out.
since amazon gift ecards are purchased with moneypak, this has been sometimes a problem.
if you are willing to wait until the item is received, you are 100% at the mercy of the seller -- and you could get scammed that way. there are plenty of escrow providers that can be used: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716
here's good information:

When you trade OTC you engage in a transaction with people you possibly know nothing about. You may send your BTC to the person, and never get anything back. Or you may send your $currency to the person expecting BTC, and get nothing in return. This is a highly undesirable outcome for you, and you should do your best to guard against that.
http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/Using_bitcoin-otc#Risk_of_fraudthanks. i had the thought of using an intermediary for the purpose of the buyer concealing their address from me, but i didn't think about using one as true escrow.
Lots of us are already trying to do proxy sales like this. It's hard as hell. Better off waiting for a WTB [something on Amazon that can actually be bought with gift credit] and pouncing on it.
roger. will do.
i've got $150 of amazon gift credit available to purchase anything on the amazon website (excluding gift cards; amazon policy).

ideally, i'm only interested in dealing with established people. PM me if you're interested.

Re: Does the newer Bitcoin clients download the block chain faster?
I'm pretty sure the latest release of bitcoin client is supposed to be slightly faster than previous versions. But to me it seems just as slow as ever.
As for the other clients, blockchain.info is pretty sweet, very nice to look at, plenty of features and fast, but i personally would never store large amount of coins there.

why not? what're you worried about?
I am here to help report Torwallet and get the site taken down, please allow me access to PM, thanks 
you can send PMs now anyway, since you made 1 post.
i joined the forum to jump into the marketplace. i know some things about bitcoin that a new user might not -- what a blockchain is, what a hash algorithm is, what mining is, what wallets are, etc. i generally don't like to post unless it's absolutely necessary, so i could be stuck in the newbie forum for days unless you find it in your heart to grant me freedom.
you're sure your username and password are correct for BTC Guild? at least for Slush's pool, you need to register yourself before you do any mining that will contribute to the pool. other than that, the BTC Guild website seems to be down. maybe it's not just you. (edit: btcguild.com says the pool was hit by a DDoS attack recently. not sure if it's related or not.)
as a side note, i would really recommend against mining for bitcoins with CPU. when i was mining with Slush, i was working with a fairly powerful GPU (ATI 7770), which crunched ~182 Mhash/sec., running at around 16 hours a day. it took me a month to accumulate 1 BTC. i'm not sure if even a good CPU will exceed 5-10 Mhash/sec. while using all available cores. as well, i believe you will see marked decreases in overall system speed if you're using a CPU to mine, as opposed to performance decreases in only graphically-intensive environments while mining with a GPU. these are just my experiences. good luck.
