I made one posting and I got a buyer for 100BTC in 24 hours.
Nice to get actual cash for bitcoin.
For real? I know that you are smooth trader. I've lurked and learned. Seriously though; you got a buyer on craigslist for 100BTC? Recently? Someone handed you $60someoddthousand for 100BTC off craigslist? I follow most of what you post and would like to know more about this.
I would say that this kind of post (on Craigslist) should be approached with extreme caution. You should really never deal in that large of amounts with a stranger.
yeah that sounds spotty.. i don't want to give that info out to strangers, could get robbed/kidnapped. it's like putting a target on your back.
Craigslist is really designed for smaller trades (I would say less then $1,000) anything above that would probably be too dangerous to be dealing with someone you don't know.
Oh, no.
I sell cars on CL all the time.
Once sold a Rolls-Royce on CL for over USD $20K with no problems.
Cars might be the exception to this rule as there are generally paper trails for both the buyer and seller if something were to go wrong, and
if the buyer's check bounced for example then you could simply report the car as being stolen (as it would be).
For things like jewelry, sports tickets, or other valuables it would be much more risky as these types of things are much harder to trace.
LOL! I thought people offering to pay by check was just an urban legend. Like when people are trying to negotiate the price down and say, "I have cash". I tell them "Good, because that's the only way you're getting this car"
I always note that I accept bitcoin in my ads. The only bite I ever got was some guy asking me what else I had to sell for bitcoin, "party favors?" That was last year.
I've also noticed a direct relationship in my area of the amount of ads mentioning bitcoin to media hype (online and others) right now it's pretty quiet around me.
Couple things to reduce spam:
List in the ad that any responses that you get MUST include a phone number, otherwise they will be ignored. Any serious buyer won't have a problem with this. It's not hard to delete emails. Plus I get to control when the phone conversation takes place.
FLAG ADS!
I flag for : keywords that do not specifically relate 1:1 with the ad, no price listed or wrong price ($1), multiple ads
