A small update for you sir:
Quick update for all of you that aren't online in #localbitcoins-support:

[16:43:17] admins , news ??
[16:43:54] Did someone take all the coins?
[16:46:01] Seems like all my coins are gone.
[16:46:11] no, looks like server crash
[16:46:24] <-- sidiberd ([email protected]) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[16:46:51] but I'm researching it now, doesn't look like a hack, all servers in a specific datacenter have rebooted
[16:47:11] for unknown reason, might be electricity
EDIT:

[17:58:02] well, it was electricity problem, and all servers were rebooted
[17:59:23] --> sidiberd ([email protected]) has joined #localbitcoins-chat
[18:02:45] well yea, but how long does it all take to boot up? I'm guessing there's more of a process than hitting a button and walking away
[18:06:18] yeah, our server setup is quite complicated
[18:06:21] ETA 1-2 hours
[18:06:39] gotcha

I would do escrow for free if you want me to. However, I have no idea what the risks of those payment methods are, since I cannot/do not use them (European).

I have a long history on localbitcoins with many many trades.  The site is currently down.  Since I haven't traded anywhere else other than that site, I'm not sure the SAFEST way to trade, but I would like to sell just 0.5 BTC for a vanilla reload pack, western union, moneygram, (some other options could be Amex Bluebird transfer, Google Wallet transfer, Walmart2Walmat, etc.)

If there is a way to have an escrow, and a scenario which both myself and the buyer are at no risk (or minimal as possible), then I will see if anyone would like to buy them.  If theres not really a solid way in exchanging, then I'd rather just hang on to them for another day.
