Anyone knowing "Astro" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3480 Or trust of him?

Well, I'm the Bitness[please never deal with these account (Bitness)more.] were on past week I had trouble and made a mistakes so Im lost 0.63. Here is are little an explain : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2368438

Following this case, Im had won an auction this one : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2341546.msg24014443#msg24014443 .

And now he's like would to defaul of deal. do not want a deal through escrow service. But he's made a statement :
Quote
Escrow: If preferred, OgNasty, at buyer's expense.
< in thread auction.

now he does not want to transact through escrow. :
Hey B,

I have another coin I'll send you for the same final auction price if you're interested.  Due to some of the trouble you've been having, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept escrow.  Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,
Astro

I've been on this forum since early 2011 and have sold many many coins here without issue.  I just don't use the Trust system because it came online after most of my sales were completed.

Escrow is not going to work for foreign sales because there's nothing to stop your mail services from opening and stealing the coin, in which case your money would be refunded and I would be the loser.

You've already been hacked once, so I'm sorry, I just can't take the chance.  You are high risk even with escrow.

Regards,
Astro

So the question, what should me do? keeping fowarding deal with him without escrow?

Use escrow and priority, tracked and insured shipping.

keeping fowarding deal with him without escrow? 
If you want to get scammed, yes. Otherwise, no.
