Title: [WTS] ~ 10 BTC - 8% off lowest market (WESTENUNION, MONEYGRAM, ETC)
Post by: lophie on January 20, 2015, 03:30:34 AM
Hello everyone. In the spirit of this bear market I want to sell ~10 BTC. I am currently abroad packbacking. This will be my basics and my soonest possible ticket home.

I am offering 8% below the lowest "well known market off the list of markets on preev.com". The only catch is I will deliver the coins as soon as I go home from my very cold encrypted storage with the key I carry around my neck (Awesome security?), So expect a 12-16 hours for delivery. This is not for the day-traders-I-wanna-make-a-quick-buck Joe Sixcoiners

I wanna do this today, I am welling to negotiate the discount unless you are going to offer me something very unfair. :)

Good day awesome people,

EDIT: As I got convinced of my unfair constraints of 12-16 hours wait. I will swallow the losses to make this deal more appealing and profitable for the buyer.

lol good one

So you expect someone to send you the money based on the fact that you MIGHT send btc in 12-14 hours, that is if you do make it back in that time.

No escrow,
No collateral
Usual trades are not that big in amounts
Just green trust wouldnt help with the sale


I would be very cautious while making such a trade.

thanks

Duke

I agree with you Duke. However I made dozens and dozens of such trades with other members with way more significant amounts, Ask around.

DISCLAIMER: Yes this is a trade where you want to be cautious! However it does not mean it is not a good one. I am a legit trader for years around here. Just stuck in this situation.

Agreed,

Thats why i didnt leave a caution and think it can be a difficult trade but not a good or bad one per say.

good luck with your sale.

Would have bought it if there was an escrow.

Regards

Duke

I'm willing to do this trade if you're willing to meet me in the middle with the terms if you don't want to use escrow. I'll pay by WU or MG first, but will only give you the MTCN or reference number to pick up the funds after you send me the BTC.

I think he needs the money to travel back home hence the reason that he cannot send the BTC until he gets back.

Thank you for actually reading the thread. You have no idea how many PMs I got that clearly did not read beyond the price discount and method of payment :(

You're right, sorry overlooked "This will be my basics and my soonest possible ticket home" meant this funds your flight home.

And maybe I don't understand correctly, but if you carry around the private keys, then that's all that's needed to sweep the funds into any wallet, unless those keys hold more than 10btc.

Oh I overlooked explaining correctly. I have the physical key for a physical safe with a backup in the form of a laminated paper of a the wallet seed for my Bitcoin savings. That paper is heavily encrypted with a ridiculously long and secure passphrase that I memorise and is cleverly backuped somewhere in the house (You will like this idea, but only gonna reveal it to the buyer).

I left everything a couple of months ago to backpack around, But that is a different story for another day.

Here is a detailed description. Don't get any ideas the house is not empty and well protected ;). That is if you can find it to begin with.

Just for future reference for everyone, this isn't meeting in the middle, Haploid can easily still scam here if he wanted to. It literally takes 60 seconds to freeze a WU payment. It generally takes 5 minutes to fill out receive paperwork, for the clerk to look up the payment and for them to pay you the money.

Just saying.

Ah gotcha, thanks for confirming there's no way you can actually send it. Well this deal is not for me, but good luck to anyone willing to take the leap of faith for this transaction.

You're absolutely right, and I actually was scammed this way when I first started accepting WU. Funds can be canceled any time, as long as the cash hasn't been picked up yet.

However, I currently have over 60 BTC loaned out to a handful of people on this forum. If I plan to ever run, It wouldn't make sense for me to do it now, would it?

For most people I don't think it's the wait, but rather the risk.

I'd be willing to wait 2 months before receiving it, as long as I'll be somehow guaranteed 100% that I'll actually receive it.

Did lophie make it back home or did he pitch a tent in the middle of nowhere?

Why doesn't he borrow some bitcoins off a friend? That way, the friend takes the risk, buyer gets the bitcoins, and lophie gets his money faster ...

I cannot borrow because interest is against my belief system and also if I ahve bitcoins it is VERY easy to sell them here without losing 8%. -_-!

Anyway guys thanks for the moral support and I am trying to reach out to traders hat actually knows me.
