NOTE: Sold to Trader Joe

I have a BFL BitForce SHA256 Single, with original BFL power supply & usb cable for sale.

For some reason it's always faster on linux.

Here are a few more pics.  The stir sticks look funny.  But, they allow me to place it so the front of the BFL is on the desk - the red LED lens on the front sticks out slightly from the plane of the case.  This placement seems to improve the airfow for the bottom fan and vents.  Plus, they prevent the fan vibration from transferring to my desk.

You might have problems doing this deal without using escrow.  Not sure how reversible PopMoney is, if you fail to ship anything.  ???

It seems like you're not going to do the escrow, but I'm going to suggest BTCrow (http://btcrow.com/). I use them when selling my singles and they were excellent.

He wants to sell. I want to buy. Neither one of us wanna do escrow. We worked out a deal ourselves. What dont you understand?

no escrow

Will never understand this. "Trust, but verify" is my mantra.

'Trust, but verify' is an Americanism for 'do not trust, but pretend that you do.' ( Yes I know it was taken from Russian originally )

This forum is utterly full of scam. Anyone who avoids escrow isn't to be 'trusted, but verified', they are to be mistrusted.

Just out of curiosity, what are the cons of using escrow?  Maybe it's a separate thread topic.  I cant think of a single reason, except that you lose a little coin to insurance.

I never done it. I dont trust it. I dont wanna do it. I prefer to handle my own deals.

This transaction was completed with Trader Joe without using escrow.

Prior to shipment, 1st half of payment received
Item shipped on a prepaid UPS shipping label
Item was delivered, and Trader Joe sent 2nd half of the payment

I just wanted to say this was my first BTC transaction.  The hands-on experience is more interesting than the BTC theory.  I learned some things from everyone who posted or pm'd, thank you for helping me.
