When I first saw this ad, I immediately assumed "SCAM" because it was a new account.
But after reading the entire post and him explaining why he is selling the miners and publicly posting his phone number, I assumed it was genuine.
And now since he refuses escrow and doesnt' answer him phone, its seems like another scam attempt.
Scammers are putting in more effort it seems to scam people these days.
I never said I don't answer the phone. I said sometimes I get busy,and can't answer the phone. In other words, I do accept calls and answer the phone, but sometimes am unavailable. 90% of the time I can either answer the phone or call back within 2 hours.
As for the escrow, I will do escrow through OgNasty. I did not realize it was such a huge no-no to consider not accepting it.
I am also having someone take pictures of the miners for me, as there is some doubt that I truly have them. The only reason I didn't put pictures of them up, is that I am about 30 minutes away from where they are and don't want to make the drive until it's time to send them on their way.
you take escrow?14
I would prefer not to, but if it is an absolute deal-breaker I will consider it. The only real reason I prefer not to is that I've been scammed very bad on eBay and PayPal before, and with an escrow service the same types of scams can occur.
If you buy, I can send you a copy of my drivers license or something like that. Then, if you have a problem, I will be very easy to track down.
I can assure you that there is not a single problem with me or any of the miners. I have sold over 1000 items on eBay, and have 100% feedback with over 250 positive reviews (UserID: Hackintoshseller - you can know it's me because I posted the same ad yesterday)
im willing to make business if we use escrow, any of what you say makes no sense, this is not ebay, you are a newbie user, no rep at all, and you have these "MINERS" listed as an AD on ebay... why you dont make a buy now listing? also a 6000$ deal and you say that you can't take calls on the phone, really dude? x'D
Please read above. I will take escrow. I can take calls.
The reason for not doing a BuyItNow listing on eBay is because eBay takes 10% the sale, and then PayPal takes another 2.9%. That would be over $750 in fees.
Hmmm, it could easily be someone pretending to be this kid,
https://www.strava.com/athletes/2878810 a google of the number gives a ton of information, phone number, work, photo, facebook, youtube. This may be an example of over extending yourself online and scammer saw this opening and a lapsed phone number he could easily take over.
That or OP is who he says he is and needs to understand that this forum is extremely escrow heavy and esspecially with new users.
Though I am only 19 (soon to be 20), I somewhat disagree with you calling me a kid, in what I assume to be a negative connotation. I started making things things happen at a very early age. I taught myself how to code HTML and JavaScript when I was 10, started a business that made real money at age 13 (with no help from parents, ect.), and started a business with explosive profits and consumer interest at age 15. Please note, I'm not at all offended, I just want it make it clear to everyone that I'm not some stupid kid.
All that aside, yes this is me that you found. I changed my bio on Strava to say I am selling my miners. I'm somewhat curious, how were you able to find all of this information using only my phone number? When I search my phone number on google, all I get is an old Manta page. I don't think it's very good have all of my information found so easily, and would like to tighten up my online presence if possible.
After getting lit up with all kinds of remarks from quite a few users, I definitely understand now that the forum is very escrow heavy, especially for new users. I'm rather surprised, really, how nuts some people are that I'm a new user. Some people, like myself, just aren't all that into posting to and reading forums.
