This thread did highlight that BTC really comes up short in online transactions for large amounts.

Sorry, I just don't trust some John X in country Y to send BTC450+ coins to, I wish I did.
I understand your position now. I wasn't trying to be argumentative; just curious for my own sake. I'd feel the same as you. 
What went sour with your Icarus/Yifu transaction? Just trying to understand your 'no escrow' stance; it isn't something seen too often here for high-value transactions.
...Most of us fools, send out our boards, DHL express, paid duties (aka bribes) etc. Guess what happened?
Absolutely nothing. Bye, bye the boards, mining profit, opportunity to sell them etc.
...
If you know of any good escrow service in the Toronto area, let me know. I'll check them out.

I'm sure for smaller amounts, I would not mind (Hint: I have a Bitfury August kit order for sale for BTC25), but not for this.
I'm sure buyers feel the same about me, so that is why I'm offering a local pickup (as scary as it might sound).
Anyway, another 19 hours of this ordeal.
um john k deals with more then 450btc on a daily basis you trusting him with 450BTC is nothing.

Highest bid: BTC450
Days left: 2
Why did you not just set a higher starting bid rather than this nonsense with "PM" bids? It only pisses people off. Highest bid: BTC450
Days left: 2
anonymous bid via PM BTC450
nothing to see here people. theymos did say shill bidding is allowed especially for hero members. Does meeting in person with 30K roughly not make anyone else nervous? I just cant imagine carrying that much cash into a trade for the life of me.
will be like two gangs of bitcoin nerds meeting up like the scene in anchorman 
Sorry to derail the auction thread more, but this made me LOL so hard. Well played sir.

Safer than cash, keep it on your coinbase or blockchain wallet. Nothing to steal. He should be more nervous since he actually has a physical item to steal.

Meet somewhere public to do the exchange, like a bank.
Untrusting of escrow, seems legit. I also have a unicorn for sale without escrow.
I've done business and met in person people from this forum.
I never done escrow as a buyer or seller.
Why don't you order from BFL or Avalon and ask for an escrow see how that goes.
Trust me. If you deal with me, you'll know who I am and I'll know who you are.

Yeah, would have John K. hold, get a tracking # and if there were any serious problems with the unit (like he send a shipment of bricks), I would video myself opening the box as proof to send to John K for any disputes.
... I am asking HIM if he accepts escrow.

Just for fun (as mining profitability calculators are not by any means the word of god, as it were)
The most expensive mining.thegenesisblock.com thinks you should be able to sell BFL minirig for is: BTC429.941
This would yield, they surmise, a lifetime profit of BTC0.000616
