I contacted the seller looking to do a trade, but my amount was too small. He is only interested in deals more than 2-3 BTC, so anyone like me looking to do smaller trades save yourself the hassle. Might want to add this to your original post, save wasting our time contacting you?

I only heard about bitcoins quite recently, but still most people I know have only a vague knowledge of them at most. Still plenty of growth left I think, before it settles as a regular currency.
