I dont know how I can assure you beside my word, which I know doesn't get very far in the bitcoin world. I could do a US bank deposit, but it is a little bit of a drive for me, since I live in a very rural area. Banks do not open until tomorrow, but I will PM you if I want to go through with that if nobody else decides to accept my most convenient options in the OP.
I found somebody to sell me 80USD via paypal earlier, so now I'm looking for around 500usd worth.
