Topic: Wholesale Gold Nuggets - page 3. (Read 4754 times)
So I'm assuming this was a scam then as no evidence has been provided but OP has been online .
. 
I'd be happy to escrow for any trades with OP! Can also offer multi-sig through Bitrated, link is in my signature.
I would highly suggest that whoever buys a 1 kg+ chunk of gold that you somehow determine (drilling or x-ray?) that it is in fact solid gold and not a pound of gold and a pound of tungsten!

All the big boys have already pointed out that this very suspicious.
Any time someone the the following, then is my alarm bell triggered:
- No picture in OP, with username clearly showed.
- No asking price (this could be legit though, if trading with items hard to put a price on, but this is gold everybody here know the spot price for gold).
- Only want to respond through PM, if your business is legit, then is a public dialog something that only would boost your sale.
- Newbee acount, no sales record.
- Escrow! That should have been stated in OP from the beginning, that escrow is a must both to protect seller and buyer. I am sure the argument "buyer always pays first, gold delivered after" will come up.
You sir are a scammer, prove me wrong and I will retract my accusation and apologizes.

The problem here with the escrow would be to verify that the gold sold is indeed pure gold. (and the buyer does not swap the gold with his fakes too)
that's a problem and risk but if seller will certify gold before sending which I would do to ensure legitimacy there shoukd be no issue. time.stamp photograph of lots should be proof for buyer what nuggets he sends.
very slippery this gold buying thing is but can be rewarding.
I am ready to go for taste like 2 ounces to see really if what they selling is fake or not.
op didn't respond about premium.
Where you based?
what nuggets are they? is it golden shoots or real nuggets?

The Gold is in Nairobi, Kenya and they are real nuggets.
do you guys need metal detectors?
Wholesale (1Kg++) Gold Nuggets available for sale. PM for details.
This is a joke-right?

Yeah well my thought process was having good pictures of the size and shape of the gold nuggets. Buyer then video unboxes to show what nuggets were sent. Then buyer has the right to keep them or pay for the shipping to have them returned to the seller if they believe/test that the gold is not real, seller then does same video unboxing to make sure that they received their exact nuggets back.
Perhaps for starting new threads in this section users should be required to post an image.
People would then just get around that by posting any old image they found on google. Nobody serious would buy these (or other such expensive items) without a verifiable picture anyway.
At least people would be able to verify authenticity of the thread given the user would have their username in the picture instead of just having a picture.
Username would need to match in the picture as it is on this forum.
There would be very little occurrences where a user here could find a google pic with the item they want to sell with their specific username in the image.
Maybe even require users post their USERNAME and "BITCOINTALK.ORG" in the image hand-written.
If they do not have that then the thread should be considered questionable.
It isn't necessarily something to automate. But some sort of format to follow just like people do in their bidding in auctions.

No nugget will be exactly the same as another, So every single nugget would need to be well documented. Size, Weight and any unusual shapes or markings.

At the very least you'd need to add some photos with your forum name near them. Once you upload them and find a buyer I can escrow this transaction. I would require photos of the actual nugget being sold along with what you are shipping it in and a tracking number. Buyer would need video unboxing of the nuggets.
This is obviously a high risk transaction so much proof would be needed by both parties in case of any discrepancies.

Monday is just a few hours away so your pictures will be delivered. Now about the Escrow, how do we pick whoever is to provide the service? You may trust them, but how do I trust them? And if we really need to go that way then we also need to agree in advance on a third (fourth in this case) party arbitrator, since the escrow provider is enjoined in the transaction, and the laws that will be applicable to the transaction(s).
In this case ESCROW must be chosen between people who are really trusted. In this forum there is lots of people like that. Like DannyHamilton, or tomatocage or canaryinthemine.
Your trust towards them probably means nothing as you are the one who asking for business. They well established and i can be shure they have more btc than this escrow will be about.
Why not send taste to 3 different people to prove you serious, that postage will not make trouble and to make sure your stuff is genuine?

Yes I agree 100%. Picture(s) with username and date should be compulsory. Also escrow must be used unless its a very high standing / respected member, but that can be agreed between buyer and seller.
Biggest warning signs for me lately are no pictures, pictures without name and date ( that could have been taken from somewhere else ) or stock pictures and reluctance or refusal to use escrow.

Agreed. Interested to see how this plays out

Nice kits wh00per! That'd be great to have if you dealt in PMs a lot, and they would certainly come in handy around here. 
One question though- do they damage the (real) gold in anyway during testing?
And yes, I definitely made the mistake of reading that as 1kg (each) gold nuggets. Real gold nuggets from Africa for BTC would be pretty sweet if legit, but I am airing on the side of skepticism until solid proofs are presented. Perhaps you could send a small vouch nugget to wh00per up there ^ for him to test with his kits? If it's real and proven so you could probably do some pretty decent business on here I'd think.

More than happy to try your service but full escrow before any btc is handed over.
What premium you thinking to charge per ounce?
You will have to provide some serious proof that this is true and accept escrow before anyone will consider doing business with you.
