Ive been reading through these posts and it seems like everyone is accusing eachother of a scam but I really didn't think me wanting to give someone else my money to purchase something could be misconstrued as that.. Kind of profoundly paranoid and moronic when you think about it, isn't it? I'm not some teenager from Pakistan trying to steal from everyone. I own a corporation and I have no need to steal your little precious bitcoins.

Thanks a lot to everyone for your advice, I'll look into everything suggested.

Hey everyone,

    As will soon become obvious I know very little about bitcoins and I'm almost positive there will be atleast a few people who are about to tell me I'm misusing this forum. However, on the off chance that there's someone reading this whose interested and we can help eachother out, I've decided to do it anyway.

    I'm interested in spending approximately $1,000 USD on bitcoins. The whole process with vendors like MtGox and such really confuses me. I thought maybe there might be someone on here, maybe a miner, maybe just someone who has some bitcoins they don't really have use for, and would like to sell them.

   If you want to make a little money feel free to email me at tristanhilgers@gmail.com or just reply to the thread, whatever is easier for you. Although, I'll reply much faster if you respond via e-mail.

Thanks!
