Topic: Selling 280 BTC , prefer one buyer (Read 1582 times)

The OP hasnt even been online for 3 days,

let the thread die.

Im from Sydney, Australia. You from anywhere near? We can meet up at a MacDonalds or some train station

Are you fine with PayPal? I don't necessarily have 150k of cash on hand, nor would I like to leave my bank details with a stranger

But before anything, I want proof of funds.

Like I said, the guys can pay via bank transfer as well. It depends on the seller. A friend of mine sold 60 BTC to these guys few months ago and decided to take the money in cash. One of the places is a legit (and rather famous) "Change bureau". I doubt that people are going with UV lights when they are exchanging money there. I also doubt that the bureau would risk their business for such amount (it might be big for us, but it's not that big for them).

Anyway, I think that those 280 BTC does not exist....

Now you know why I'd be wanting to tag along to keep an eye on why he does.  (That and the fact 24+ hours later QuickSand hasn't come back with a witty barb... makes me wonder if this was a fishing expedition?? ) ??

I'd be checking over the guy (or gal) who wants to turn up on your door step with a bag of cash (even $ 100 USA notes comes to 1100 - 1200 notes)  Run a UV light over the cash, check for water marks that sort of thing...

Signing messages proofs that you control a certain address. No one other can do that except he knows the private key of that address.

Though it's not really helpful as proof that someone owns a certain amount of coins since it can be faked when some other persons that actually holds such amount, gets paid and provides a signed message. The scammer could then "proof" that he owns that amount even though he doesn't. So it's not a very safe proof in that case.

So you're right. But why would they need it, increase the number of messages maybe.

Any proof where the coins are stored? I can buy some, but will want to see proof.

It's not exactly an offer guaranteed to make one's phallus thicken and engorge with anticipation is it.

You seem like you posses the mental capacity of at least a 6 year old, so I bet he can probably explain that there is slightly more to the process than just 'hey send the coins, I pinky promise to send cash'.

You mean to buy 1 BTC at that rate?

If you can get 1 bitcoin at that rate send me a pm maybe we can talk on this.

But regarding the thread. I can't see this ending well for the person who buys that amount all at one time.
Get a signed message showing he actually is holding that amount of coins. Which without any previous trades or trust here, this is doubtful.

If £ are good for you let me know.

I can buy all. Escrow a must.

I can talk with some people here in Bulgaria and they can buy them. They can pay in cash or via bank transfer. Current average price of Bitcoin is $423.38, their current price is 727 BGN or $407, but I believe I can get a better rate for such amount.

Attention, and post count (mainly). I'm seeing lots of newbies posting 1 post per day, seems like they are building a factory of dummies to be sold when it reaches FM or SM.

Seems like yet another troll. I dont know what they get out of this .

Perhaps its just some attention....

Holy cow ! Isn't this the signed message thingy they all talk about ? 

Yeah, if OP could sign a message from the address holding the coins, it would be even better !

I was told that there are bitcoin services that provide you with a signed message of your choice from an address that holds the amount you specify.

Just saying...

SellOff? More like ShowOff

I doubt that there really is a 280btc in his account. I don't want to accuse him as a scammer but this time, let's assume that he really has 280 btc. If he has that big money in his account, he should know how this works. He should already be aware that people needs confirmation/proof that he really has 280 btc in his account. Nevertheless, OP hasn't come back for more than a day already.

If you do come to Australia I'll tag along and be your moral support / witness...   

According to Preev.com BTC 280 = spot on $ 155,00 AUD or roughly $ 118,600 USD - in either case, given how quickly certain people are jumping in to make offers with out the usual asking to verify that the OP has the coins by asking for a signed message makes me think some PM's must have flown back and forth already?

*edit* didn't see this while I was typing...

I'll jump on the band wagon and ask what part of Australia is the OP from?

OP: I would strongly recommend you move slowly through the sale process with whomever you choose to deal with for such a large amount.

There are Escrows here, do some due dilligance on them to. http://archive.is/nu2BY

Regards,

Can you send the 280BTC to an address and share it with us ?

If you prove ownership of those coins, the deal will be easier to settle.

Man, I see some very rich people, if you involved in this kind of trade, do care about where 280 btc coming from? It is from mining, bought low years ago, or just exiting Bitcoin related business?

thats what i am thinking now OP doenst have 280

what a show off

Trying to want this this way sounds very scammy. I doubt anyone will be that stupid and I really have to wonder if he seriously thought someone would do that.

Not trying to secure the deal most likely means there are noe 280 bitcoins at all.

i have talked to him!
as a result he call me send money first!

I'm Newbie and i want to do bussiness, but it's sound a little bit of risk!
hic

I can buy all but splitting in a few bank transfers (to avoid problems with my bank). I'll have a reasonable fee, but my rep is one of the highest here.
Sending you a pm too.

That's why it would be safe to not trust one trader only and not even one escrow but do multisig 2 of 3, so 2 parties would have to be compromised to scam or implementing more than one trusted escrow to lower the chances. For a 4 of 5 multisig escrow there would have to be 4 involved parties being scammers. Which would be highly unlikely. And for that amount such a multisig with more than one escrow would be appropriate.

thats a huge sum of money

and think you shouldn't  trade all your money with one buyer

trade slowly and sell your coins on different reputable places 

think twice before you deal with anyone here even with hero/legendary members

because accounts can be bought

good luck

By the way, you mentioned exchange in person... if you really would offer that amount of bitcoins and to exchange it in person then you surely will attract some thugs too. So in any case you would want to have a plan in hand that they can't identify your identity, your car and that you never will be alone somewhere on the way to the meeting place, there and on the way back.

The guy has the audacity. The sheer and shameless audacity to ask for >$150k worth of coins upfront.

How thicker can your skin be? You have the nerve, sir. The American nerve at its worst.

In any case, fiatbuyer, use an escrow and one that offers multisig escrow. Maybe chose even 2 or 3 escrows and create a 3of4 or 4of5 multisig address with them to make the risk even lower. It would be justified for that amount. I could help with it if you want to deal with quickseller or another member.

If you can accept US dollars via cash in the mail (from the US) then I could help you if you are willing to accept coinbase minus 9% with you bearing the risk of having the cash sent in the mail including (but not limited to) going through customs. I would need the BTC upfront and it would take about a week from the time I receive the BTC to mail the cash to you.

If you prefer to receive Australian dollars in the mail (from the US) then I could help you if you are willing to accept coinbase minus 10.5%. You would need to bear the risk of having the cash sent in the mail including (but not limited to) going through customs. Again I would need the BTC upfront and it would take about a week and a half (up to possibly two weeks) from the time I receive the BTC to mail the cash to you.

If you prefer a cash deposit into your bank account or if you prefer to receive Australian dollars in the mail (mailed from within Australia) then I could help you if you are willing to accept coinbase minus 11.5%. I would need the BTC upfront and it would take about two weeks or so from the receipt of the BTC to get the cash and make my way to Australia to ship you the cash. You would need to bear the risk of receiving cash in the mail. In this case I would not be meeting you in person.

In all cases except the last one, I would be willing to send the cash (and receive corresponding amounts of BTC) in increments of your choosing, and am willing to bear all costs associated with getting the cash to you provided that I do not need to send more then 6 packages.

I realize that this rate may be low, however it would result in you selling your BTC in one shot and would allow you to quickly sell your BTC.

Let me know if you are interested.

I mean 280 BTC, north of $150k

Do you mean $280 BTC or 280 BTC?

Im based in Australia so would prefer buyer from same region so as to make the trade smoother, we can make use of escrow, but i need the coins offloaded asap, shoot me a PM if you are interested, coins are ready and in the wallet as I type. Price will be discussed with serious buyers as well as how they can pay me
