Just for the record, ferreting out scams is part of my RL world. When a duck stinks like this, I consider it a public service to point it out, and I typically do so in my harsh ass-holish manner, without concern for welcoming would be scammer to our world.
You don't want to read my stuff? There's a convenient ignore button right there under my name. You want to support this guy's sale? Buy a laptop and stop whining about social propriety. Just don't tell us when you get ripped off thru Western Union by this scammer- you bent over and invited him to have his way with you. No legitimate business person anywhere in the world uses Western Union as their preferred payment method. None, period.
All your doing is being arrogant and making ignorant posts.
He is
totally right.
Let's see, what would be a better way to have approached this? Well it's your lucky day because I'm going to use my amazing deductive powers of common sense and tell you how to not come across as a scammer:
1-You have little/no feedback, so offer escrow, post pictures of the product you're going to sell next to a piece of paper with your forum username, the date, and "bitcointalk" on it.
2-Ideally, provide a link to heatware/ebay, showing positive feedback you've gathered.
3-If you're offering something this expensive, you're going to want to have a fairly good explanation of where they came from etc, with warranty details and the like, otherwise many will just assume scam/stolen.
4-If members point out the risk involved in dealing with you, find some way to mitigate that risk, rather than going around insulting people for refusing to hand over large quantities of irritrievable cash on the promise of cheap goods from an anonymous person with no feedback. You could, for example:
-Give out your phone number/other personally identifiable info via pm to interested buyers so they can contact you.
-Offer escrow (in fact there are many free escrow services right here on bitcointalk)
-Give links to your business website, so that people can look into it there.
Really people, suspicion towards 0-feedback anonymous bitcoin sales no more harms bitcoin trading than suspicion towards 0-feedback anonymous Western Union sales on ebay harms US dollar trading.
