Well that's sure nice if you to take the time typing out that long posts
It's mostly a copy paste of my usual ad when I'm buying or selling, with some quick modifications to indicate that I'm assisting a purchaser. It wasn't much work.
and helping him with everything else, while getting nothing in return.
What's good for bitcoin, is good for me.
What's good for bitcoin in Chicago, is even better for me.
I'm getting goodwill, improving my reputation, and if the help that I provide is appreciated then I'll get something out of it eventually.
Like I mentioned, j.socal sometimes sells relatively large chunks (although not $50k) at a time.
I've already contacted J.Socal, and a few others. No responses yet.
However I believe several people are after his large batches for cheap, including me, you, and SixFigures 
Yep. It doesn't have to be all $50000 at once. Smaller amounts are ok. There are enough bitcoins to go around. I'm sure I'll hear from some sellers eventually.

You keep saying "we". So are you in a partnership with him, and both of you guys want to buy the coins? Or does this solely benefit bornforfreedom?
J.socal sometimes sells large amounts, he can get around 5%-7% below market rate, but I've never seen -10% though. Try asking him.

The coins are all going to bornforfreedom. The cash is all coming from bornforfreedom.
I am assisting in getting the transactions accomplished since bornforfreedom doesn't have much reputation yet. I can acquire the cash directly from bornforfreedom in a face-to-face transaction, and/or I can hold the bitcoins in escrow (or work with other forum escrow providers) to make sure that bornforfreedom sends payment before he receives the bitcoins.
I suppose you could call that a "partnership", or perhaps you could just call me a "preferred escrow provider", or maybe you could consider me to be a broker for the deal. Look at it however you like. The fact of the matter is that bornforfreedom is attempting to make the purchases, but has little reputation here. He has asked me to help him accomplish this by providing my reputation and trusting me to make sure that both he and the seller hold up their ends of the deal.

I am working with the user bornforfreedom to assist him in acquiring the bitcoins he desires. I am acting as escrow and using my reputation to facilitate the transactions.

FAQ:
How do I contact you?
Please PM me here to sell BTC, I will provide you a quote and an address to send to if you accept the quote. Once received I will arrange with bornforfreedom to pay you in the method of your choice. Do not re-use an address I've given you in the past. I use a new address for every transaction and I discard the private keys once I send/spend the bitcoins that I received at an address. Therefore it is very important that you get a new address from me and do not re-use an address to send bitcoins to me in the future if we ever engage in another transaction.
You can also find me on localbitcoins.com: https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/danny.hamilton/
If you already have my txt number or email from a previous deal, you can use that to contact me as well.
Who sends first?
You send payment first. I have a substantial reputation here at bitcoin talk, however, if you are concerned we can use Escrow.
Will you accept escrow?
Yes, but you pay the escrow fees. I'll work with any of the top 7 escrow providers on the Escrow Whitelist. At the moment (2014-03-09) that means: John K., escrow.ms, Tomatocage, OgNasty, Maidak, Dabs, (and of course myself
)
See my Escrow thread found below in my signature, or my trust page for more details on my reputation.
Do you have a minimum or maximum we can sell to you?
The maximum for all payment methods is whatever the amount of cash is that is currently on hand for purchasing, which is highlighted above. There is no minimum, but we reserve the right to refuse to deal with someone who becomes abusive (example of "abusive": requesting to sell $5 of bitcoin repeatedly).
I understand the prices might be low, please feel free to sell to other people through other means.
If you have a payment method that you would like to know if we can use to make payment, please PM me! The above methods are the only ones I know of and have used before, but we're willing to consider other payment methods. We won't use paypal. We won't use any method that requires a bank account. We won't use any reversible payment systems.
On request, I can sign a message with my GPG key (public key found in my Escrow thread in my signature) before agreeing to a trade to confirm that you are actually communicating with me and the my account hasn't been hacked.
