haha that's awesome. Glad everything worked out. Personally I'd be too chickenshit to do face-to-face with that much cash. Once you use your phone to release the btc, you can't predict if the dude will mean-mug you to take his cash back.
Let me guess, you met him at San Diego Zoo?
Topic: Just Sold $1k worth of Bitcoins to... a Black Guy (gasp) - page 6. (Read 8133 times)
Apparently, it was a person from one of the U.S.'s largest cities driving in from out of town to visit our world famous local Zoo. But it just set off a few alarms. How hard is it to get Bitcoins in the largest city where he's from? My ad specifically states to meet at Starbucks or McDonalds mainly for Internet access but also because of cameras everywhere. The handle was brand new.
Should I just cancel? He could then give me my first bad feedback. What if I get mugged.
The young guy finally shows up with basketball jersey tank top showing off his tattoos and wild urban cut ... The guy's smart phone had a cracked screen. He has 1k to buy Bitcoin but can't even get a replacement screen for his phone? After handing me 1k in hundred dollar bills...
Some reasonable suspicions here.Should I just cancel? He could then give me my first bad feedback. What if I get mugged.

Andreas Antonopoulos...gave me the impression that Bitcoin in the United States was mainly for white people with a few token Asians sprinkled here and there.
...Lastly, the guy sounded... black.
What if I get mugged. I thought to myself what a horrible person I'd be cancelling the meet just because the guy sounded black.
... afro. He looked part Latino and Black ...
And racism here. Which is the larger part of your post? Yeah....Lastly, the guy sounded... black.

I'm glad to live in a place in the US where my race is not a huge majority. Helps keep me from seeing other races as "others".
Regardless, glad to hear that the trade went through without a problem.
I've seen all of the Andreas Antonopoulos videos on YouTube speaking to various audiences. They're truly inspirational but gave me the impression that Bitcoin in the United States was mainly for white people with a few token Asians sprinkled here and there.
Anyhow, I have an advertisement for local in-person cash trades for Bitcoin. Trades are rare in my area, but I like to proliferate the coin whenever I can. Plus, at my asking price the transaction would result in a relatively significant amount of pocket change. So, I get a request to meet at my local Zoo parking lot.

Anyhow, I go ahead and call and have him meet me at the Starbucks nearest to the zoo. I was getting nervous, even started to sweat after getting off the call. Should I just cancel? He could then give me my first bad feedback. What if I get mugged. I thought to myself what a horrible person I'd be cancelling the meet just because the guy sounded black. Me being the weanie, I brought "muscle" just in case the guy tried to strong arm me into inputting my Google 2FA to validate the escrow and steal my coins. My muscle was a fat guy that plays video games all day in his mother's basement. No way would he get physical, but his orders were to video record from another table pretending to be a random customer.
The young guy finally shows up with basketball jersey tank top showing off his tattoos and wild urban cut afro. He looked part Latino and Black and after inquiring about my handle, put down his phone to pull out the money. The guy's smart phone had a shattered screen. He has 1k to buy Bitcoin but can't even get a replacement screen for his phone? After handing me 1k in hundred dollar bills, I broke out my counterfeit pen with UV light and validated the bills, verified the stripe was in the correct spot with the UV light. He said, "You're a smart man." Everything looked good and transferred the funds to the buyer.
He even gave me the # (pound). You know, when you knock fists like players do in basketball?
Worked out well. Have to admit, it was a rush. Treated my fat friend to lunch at the nearby restaurant.
Going to hit a gentlemen's club tonight.
