just a tip, use escrow regardless of reputation. lots of hackers/account buyers around here.
Good point... I'm willing to take SOME risk though.
There are no bids yet so I'll add one new thing to the post:
PGP signed contract by both buyer and seller will be required for winning bid, and will be posted to this thread.
{{{ placeholder for winning bid }}}
Ok, done.
I really find it annoying that the page in question was written using the acronym GPG rather than PGP, but this is basically what it is:
Quote from: disputes section on http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/Using_bitcoin-otc
In case of dispute, it is a great idea to have a double-gpg-signed contract prior to the transaction. This way, if any party claims non-receipt of funds to an address, incorrect price, or other issues, you have a gpg-signed contract you can lean on. Of course, this won't help you if you have run into a scammer who is just out to take the money and run, but it will be helpful in case of a legitimate dispute between honest parties.
Some suggested items to include in your contract text (complete list may vary depending on nature of the transaction):
Amount of bitcoins involved
Amount of other currency/goods involved
Price per coin
Who bears the transaction fees, both on bitcoin-side and the other side
The deadline for completion of contract
Bitcoin address for funds receipt
Other currency processor address for funds receipt
^Most of that isn't relevant for this, but the following process is:
The procedure for creating a double-signed document is straightforward: first, party 1 clearsigns the document, and sends the text to party 2. Then party 2 verifies the signature, then clearsigns the entire clearsigned document, including all headers, and sends the double-signed document back to party 1. Party 1 verifies the second party's signature, as well as own nested signature inside. Now, both are in possession of a double-signed contract document.
Make sure that the key used by the other party matches the GPG key registered on OTC for the user!
It is strongly recommended that you do this, for all but the most trivially-sized transactions.

I won't require the winning bidder to be a member of bitcoin-otc web of trust, but it's preferred so that the rating system can be used after the escrow process / contract / purchase is completed.
Here's my own info:
PGP / GPG key which will be used to sign the contract on my end (as well as the bitcoin address I have registered with bitcoin-otc)
