Just a quick hit!! Wink

Think might be useful for many:

Bitcoin Store, first Croatian exchange office is opened in Split, Croatia. Walk-in place where you can buy and sell crypto values for cash! Since there are so many people who do not understand many things about the crypto world, but want to buy or sell, or want to step up into this new world, this is a place to visit.

I have a data plan phone too, but WiFi works a lot quicker. I need to upgrade to LTE, Anyways, it seems like you value privacy in your transactions, which is fine. As long as you feel safe in your trades, go with what's comfortable for you

And though no violence was involved, here's a very large deal where the buyer almost got scammed:

In local transaction you should be aware in the scammers because there are lots of people that still want to steal your money.
Bitcoin is the blessing which nobody cannot resist with its golden value. The bitcoin saves all people from poverty so the demand in here is quite big.

i'm sure your post is helpful for some people, and it does seem like a good write-up, however your list is pretty much the exact opposite of what I would look for in a trade

Agree on price and procedures in advance and never do a transaction with anyone who tells you that it will be used for something illegal

i agree cameras would help with security, but that's a tradeoff between security and privacy i'd generally go for the latter myself

One of the main reasons someone does a transaction face-to-face, using cash, is to protect financial privacy.

Recently. LocalBitcoins began requiring account verification (referred to as KYC / identity verification) for all sellers.

Two alternatives, HodlHodl.com and Bisq.Network, are now functional, are useful for face-to-face trading, and do not require identity verification.

Should be exchanged in public places. Mentioning a second person could also help deter potential muggers. simply having a friend sitting a table away can help if a dangerous situation arises.

Great tips for local transactions. My favorite method is to buy BTC, meeting up with the seller directly in public.
