Your post above did not answer my question.  What specifically are your selling?

This quote is rather interesting:


How can you expect people to be interested in buying something from you when you cannot tell them what it is?  And:


How can we bid on something when we do not know what it is?  "It is a loan business" is not specific enough.  

It sounds like maybe you have a loan and/or deposit portfolio (not sure by your answers).  Let me try to be more specific:

Exactly how many BTC do you have on deposit.  In other words exactly how many BTC have people loaned to you?

How many people have deposits with you?

What is the average daily, weekly or monthly interest rate you are paying for these deposits?

Now, how many BTC do you have out in loans?  In other words exactly how many BTC do you have currently loaned out to other people?

How many loans have you made?

How many active loans do you currently own?

What is average the daily, weekly or monthly interest rate you are charging on these loans?

What is your average default rate on the loans in your portfolio?

This will give me an idea of exactly how much your business is worth.  If you actually have something to sell I may be interested in buying the entire portfolio for one lump sum.

But, I have to see your books first.

What, exactly, are you selling?  A portfolio of loans?  An operating business of some sort?  Where can I find a detailed description of what you are selling so I can determine if I want to buy it?

Also willing.  PM me if theses loans do not work out.

For everyone's information:  You can always just PM one of the lenders in the sticky posts at the top of this section.  For example if pereiraex would have just sent a PM directly to Patrick (or myself) explaining the situation either one of us would have probably just lent him the BTC.  Maybe not.  If we decline the loan then you can try to run a post and see what happens.

Again, lending out 4 BTC just to have it sent back is not going to help you.  This will prove even less than borrowing BTC and sending it back.  See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94095.msg1040600#msg1040600

I expect that you are having a hard time selling due to competition, prices, the products you are trying to sell and other factors.  Trust and/or reputation should not be an issue.  You have already mentioned that you are willing to send first and you are willing to do escrow.

Getting a small loan here and sending it right back will do nothing for your reputation.

Try mentioning the willingness to do escrow and send first again, maybe reduce your prices, maybe add more products to your catalog.

BTW I also do escrow if you ever get an interested buyer.

Best mining bond on the market.

Whew!

The entire trading sub forum makes you nervous?  Or were you trying to give a more specific link?  Or, hmm, I guess I just do not follow the meaning of the link.

Thanks everyone!

Well that was fun and interesting.  Should we do it again?  If so do you have any proposals for rule changes?

payb.tc,  Do you have someone in mind or are you going to send them back?

Good one.

I will track the path in the OP so you can check there to see the status.  I changed the rule so that if you cannot find someone you totally trust within 24 hours you should send it back to me.

Rememer you can always just send it back and be totally off the hook.  No harm no foul.

If you cannot think of anyone you know that would not pull this kind of scam then send it back to me.

OK Garr255 you have 6 hours to send it on or send it back to me!

Be careful out there!

If you cannot find somone you trust enough to pass it on to in six hours then simply return it to me to the address in my OP.

That debt would be between the hacked guy and the person that gave it to the hacked guy.  Hacked guy, if trustworthy would pay back out of their own pocket.  So only give it to people with the character and means to pay you back if  they lose it.

Once you get it then it is up to you to either contact one of your best friends to play or select from the people you know who have joined the thread.

Yes, I will chose from those that post here or if no one I trust posts I will go find someone.

Off to a rocky start.  We will see how it goes.
