Whats your location in NY? Upstate? Would you prefer cash or btc?

Also the guy who received free coin got them around November 12th or so. I cant remember the exact date but it was close to that. Just saying if he got them that long ago and he only commented on their rep thread yesterday that seems very odd to me considering rep thread was up on the 30th, not that suspicious until I noticed the comments were 2 hours before this thread was posted. This could be all a coincidence but that is a lot of things to be linked together by chance.

No pics OP? That seems a little concering.
He sent me a couple of pics via PM as I'm an interested buyer as well. I'm sure as soon as he gets back online he'll post them in this thread.
I slightly investigated this guy and although his account is not brand new his "rep page" has 2 responses saying he is a good guy both posted within hours of eachother yesterday and one received free coin and the other got a no collateral loan. Looks like he tried building rep to help in this possible scam but im not accusing him of such it just seems fishy. He is also the only one who has claimed to have gotten pics, this also seems odd. All I ask is to see said pics, if they exist, and it would clearly debunk my theory.

same here ! 
Offered to buy at asking price. He immediately said he only trusted John K and that John K was too busy. Mentioned other escrow services here and he denied. Proceed with extreme caution

This is starting to sound more and more like a scam. It's not that difficult to upload a single photo. Nearly everyone has a cell phone

Please dont throw insults around too quickly.
no doubt, and this with a member of activity=3
this kind of behavior toward veteran members will get you on a lot of ignore lists in a hurry bud

I'd prefer pickup (in the New York area), but I'll ship. Shipping is free within the USA. For international shipping, that will be extra.
*Edit: I've edited my asking price to reflect the current online prices/trends.
Are you retarded, look at the op first post
LOL, I meant Actually in reality do pickup, There have been lots of bogus sales that say collection just to get you hooked, Than say there out or some b/s to get you to pay first.

If you can post pictures of the miner with your forum user name either here or to me - I will give you your asking price plus shipping to the UK via escrow, you pay the escrow fees as you are a new member here with no previous rep - how's that for ya?
Peace.
Peace.

There are other members who will provide the escrow service, search the forum.
Too risky without escrow in this case.

Just a FYI - I offered more than the asking price with escrow and was refused.
I also requested pictures. Nada.
I advise caution with this new member seller.

You basically offered me $9 more than the asking price and you wanted fast international shipping to be included. Wow. You're so generous.
Just cause someone doesn't bother responding to a somewhat offensive offer, doesn't mean they can't accommodate the requests of a serious buyer that provides a serious offer. You just weren't one of those people, no offense.
