I am not selling via escrow, I just don't do that -- amagi doesn't do it, no shop does it, and I am basically a shop, well kind of.
Selling a small handful of coins doesn't make you a shop, especially with a 0 trust rating. It makes you a random guy on the internet like the rest of us. Let me ask you this, instead of giving that 5% discount, would you be willing to put that towards paying someone to do escrow? Basically I pay spot price to the escrow, they take 5%, you get 95%. It's the same as if you were selling directly to me except a lot safer for me.
The cynicalism on thse boards never ceases to amaze me...
This guy is a freaking VIP and Hero Member... That VIP part means he's DONATED 50BTC to the board....and you say he has no trust? I'm just about tired off all the suspicion here...
TradeFortress was a VIP member too. I'm pretty sure pirate was too. I could give you a whole list.
I didn't say he has no trust, I said he has no trust rating (which I agree is a stupid system but if you're going to call yourself a shop you should have something). I simply countered his offer with an offer of my own, which he rejected and is totally within his right. I've been a part of this forum just as long as he has. I'm still a random guy on the internet and so is he. I understand this is a one-time deal and someone will probably take the risk and do it but it won't be me.
