Bitcoin Forum

I'd like to do a transaction face-to-face so as to avoid the plagues of online transactionry. 
I live near Portland - does anyone have 20BTC they would like to sell for USD (cash).

We would meet up at a police station parking lot or at a Starbucks, I would need some extensive proof that you're not going to pull a fast one (some sort of ID or something).

Not looking for one or two BTC, looking to do one large transaction.

Thanks!!

PS: I also have a ton of LTC I would be willing to trade if you're into that.

What happens if the police see the money traded they can take it on probable cause lol..

Lol. I think it don't have problem.

I would prefer that risk than the alternative.  Ultimately, if both parties consensually transact and there are no illegal goods, there isn't a problem.

Are you sure?  Isn't there a restriction on how much you can trade in fiat value in one transaction without "filing" it?

Not that I'm aware of and I work for a bank...

If I bought a car for $100,000, I wouldn't have to file it, except with the IRS eventually.  Who is to say I would do that w/ a Bitcoin transaction.  There is nothing illegal about buying BTC with cash.

If prefer alternative method other then meet up - could let me know, it would be immediate solution no headache or trouble for you - Alternatively, i have someone in Michigan.

Once you buy a car you pay the taxes and tags before you get it. They can take the money for probable cause you say it's for trading BTC the cops say no it's not it's for illegal goods remember they don't have to prove there wrong you have to prove your right. I would just say do the trade across the street not in there parking lot lol...

Also there if technicaly everything illegal with BTC with cash trades. Remember BTC is federally looked at as property so when you buy it you are supposed to pay the property tax fee and probably a closing costs right at sale I am not 100% up on code with it but yes legally it's illegal to buy hand to hand transactions. Could be considered money laundering if you don't claim it right away..

Going to bump this! :)

Also, across the street is fine.  Really... I just meant we would follow the principle that the transaction would take place in a public/safe place. 

Lol! I take it you haven't heard of asset forfeiture and what the good ole scum in blue have been doing all over the country!

My friend have 25coins, give me your cell/email

U won`t have problems for sure, but the other party will do have for providing non-licensed currency or payment instruments exceeding certain limits:

I'd like to see the cops actively trace something like a Bitcoin transaction.  There's just no way they would happen upon a transaction and have the ability to lay actual charges. 

Do you want to scam people again feverpitch ?
Someone has to brake your legs !!
Avoid him !! he is hungry for bitcoins!!

It is very risky for trade.
