I am not sure if QS and Panthers are the same, but since they will not answer it seems sorta obvious. Escrowing using yourself is not ok at all. Escrow is supposed to always be a neutral 3rd party. I really hope this is not the case here...
looks to me he did said no. You are an asshole and are wrong. taken from his alt's post on the 2nd page. that's a no, yeah? /day Ah good I really did not think he would do that as he knows better. |

I like the way you handle your list Philip. I think Theymos adding you was a great addition to the trust network.

If you never do anything shady you never get a negative rep here. You make it sound as if people get a negative for nothing at all. Every newbie I have seen with negative was for the obviously bad things...asking for loans on first post etc..

Wow this thread really blew up while I was sleeping... haha Who is the maker of the lower receiver?  ?? also...have you shot .308s in it.... ...I see the upper is 7.62.51 FN makes the lower receiver, both the upper and lower are stock. No reason to upgrade them at this point in time. I have shot both 308 and 7.62 with it and it handled both perfectly. Like MiLkz said, it can handle both. I have a noob question (I know very little of guns). Is the SCAR 17 the assault riffle the US navy seal use? Really nice riffle you got there! I am mainly a handgun guy, but riffles are fun. If you got any handguns for sale post them up. I am in the market for a ridiculous one - Desert Eagle .50AE (yes I know it is just silly) or possibly a Magnum 500. I would also be after a 1911 depending on prices.
LOL ... Should do the job protecting your casascius collection  When I was working with Seals back in 2012 they all had short barrel suppressed M4's but honestly they can use whatever they want and are comfortable with for the mission, their budget is pretty ridiculous. A couple of the Army SF guys I was with used them though. The military wants to replace the M4 with the SCAR eventually so a lot of SOCOM units are getting them to test and the feedback has been great with them. It's honestly an amazing platform and I love it in 308. As far as handguns go, I don't have any for sale unfortunately. I'm keeping my Glocks  I shot a friends Magnum 500 and it's no joke... You better be ready to rock when you pull that trigger haha Yeah the Magnum is a hand cannon for sure  The Deagle has a lot less recoil due to that crazy gas setup though. Obviously either one is just fun to shoot 10-20 rounds and done with. |

I'm curious because there are many users with green trust with 40+ and are not in default trust
Since the system got edited and scores are higher +40 is not that huge. I do not think trust scores really factor in so much. My trust score is higher than most if not all depth 1 users, and I am only depth 2. I think the main criteria is having a large personal trust list built up and contributing a lot here. In the end Theymos picks who is in and who is not. |

Compensated for what losses exactly? Getting a negative rating is not the end of the world, and does not cause someone to lose money from it. I will trade with anyone regardless of rep if they use escrow.
Only saying this because I think it drives home a relevant point: Wouldn't finding out that the "escrow" is the same person as your trading partner sorta defeat the purpose of escrow in such a situation? Isn't the idea of using an escrow that you've got a neutral third party? I agree 100% that if someone used their own alt as an escrow that would be wrong. I really hope that was not the case here, as that would be extremely shady. I can't really call that a scam in the traditional sense, but shady as hell. I really do not know if Panthers is QS - I really hope he is not one in the same. I do agree with TC though - if there is some collateral damage it is worth all the other stopped scams. |

I don't see how escrowing for himself would be a scam, unless he's tacking on an extra escrow fee and making the other party pay it. Even then there would be much more effective ways to scam such as, well, simply walking away with the entire escrow amount. From the outside it might seem a little shady, but you have to consider the fact that he's a highly trusted member and very effective scam-buster. As such it's only natural that he would make a lot of enemies from people whose intentions may not be totally above-board to begin with. So if, for instance, QS saw a deal for widgets in the Marketplace section that he couldn't pass up, but he knew that ordering widgets would potentially expose him to the sort of people previously referred to, it's only logical that he might use an alt to abstract himself.
tspacepilot, I like you, man. I think you bring to the forum a certain level of quality and content that most users sorely lack. Furthermore, I do not think QS's rating for you is totally necessary. However, I feel that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, so to speak. As I've said before, I'd rather have a few people butthurt than 10 times as many scammed.
So basically I'd file this accusation in the "big flippin deal" bucket.
Using himself an escrow totally beats the purpose of using an escrow. It is not like he is the only escrow in the entire forum. If I am dealing with Quickseller, I would use escrow. Now he suggest someone who is himself, which I didn't know then, and the deal goes through, I would feel myself cheated. It is not considered to be okay. He can use make deals with people, use himself as escrow. completely okay?.. till the day he decides to scam everyone and leave the forum? Quickseller's own arguments say that past performance of anyone is no guarantee to what anyone will do in the future. Escrowing to himself is no escrow at all. If the other party wanted an escrow, and he uses himself, that would be kind of a breach of trust. All this is, ignoring that he got a fee and a trust feedback for this, which makes things even more worse. As I've said before, I'd rather have a few people butthurt than 10 times as many scammed. It is very well the other way round. I would like to suggest this: Any party whose reputation is damaged by Quickseller resulting in a loss of any kind or that costed the party a significant amount of time and eventually this particular party is proved reasonably innocent of the accusation, he/she should be compensated by QS for any loss he/she has suffered including opportunity cost. (i.e. the party should be able to claim a reasonably amount of damages from Quickseller)  lol... Compensated for what losses exactly? Getting a negative rating is not the end of the world, and does not cause someone to lose money from it. I will trade with anyone regardless of rep if they use escrow. |

I have a S1 Casascius 1 BTC coin that is in great condition, but it is tarnished. Is it worth it to send it to ANACS to get it graded?
Yes, and pay for the restoration service. They might be able to clean it up some without hurting it. Post a picture of it for me to see! |

Looking for something that is reliable and takes bitcoin. If they are good I do not mind signing up via a referral link. The VPS just runs a small IRC bot...nothing shady.

Grab a pair of needle nose pliars and grip the bracket right above the hole that attaches to the socket. Very gently pull down towards the socket and then outward once it has clearance. Take your time and do this very slowly. You should be able to pull it down just enough to let it release.
I can mark your picture if you are not clear on where to grab it.
Yeah I'll need some marks on the pic please... Edit: nvm got it thanks... Can I get your address? Glad it worked for you! No need to send me the Bitcoins just keep them. |
