Sup everyone. I'm from NYC. Sort of new to BTC. I've herd about it in passing but had no idea how hard it would actually be to get just a couple of coins lol. I'd like to buy at least 2, off of one of the trusted members/vendors here just to get my feet way.

Peace

Make sure and use escrow even if you think you are trading with a trusted member. Also, I would highly recommend JohnK escrow as he is highly trusted to reduce your risk of being scammed

On this same note as aststa mentioned, people purchase and sell old forum accounts here, so be careful with whom you do business with. Always use escrow, Always!

Edit: food for thought, 300 BTC stolen just recently in a group buy.

Woahhhhhhh lol. I'm at least glad you guys seem to ostracize/identify posters fairly quickly when you find out their scammers
