In my opinion, if you are selling anything, it means you are selling, whether its BTC, or handmade Native American Moccasins, or wooden nickels. But of course, I'm not an admin, and so my opinion doesn't really matter

It's just tough to put into my head "OK, I want to get BTC for something... am I selling something, or buying bitcoins? Or selling bitcoins to buy bitcoins?"

No, you are right. Selling 6 bitcoins means you are selling 6 bitcoins, just as selling 6 alpaca socks doesn't mean "buying $25 usd for 6 alpaca socks".

It's just the way this forum works.

How many BTCs do you want for the socks?

thanks one of the moderators explained it to me.

Apparently saying "BTC For Sale" means youre "buying" dollars.

Seems odd to me... If I were selling a video card, I wouldn't think of it as "buying money".

looking t sell 6 btc @ the current mt gox price of 26.35 - paypal transaction. I am a trusted dealer, I have dealt with Maxxx many times and he can vouch for me. First pm gets them!

I'd be hesitant to buy anything from somebody who can't read that they're posting something for sale in the "buying" forum

This is supposed to be in the Buying section - he is buying Paypal for bitcoin

He's buying $USD so the moderators move this kind of threads.

I originally posted it in the "selling" forum, but the mod moved it to the "buying" forum you jackass.

I can confirm that heavyb is the real deal. I've lost track of how many transactions we have done and I have no hesitation in trading with him in advance at this point.
