it isnt illegal to buy or sell btc so what exactly would they sting?

It's happened before. There's a thread on the forum somewhere where somebody talks about getting caught in a sting operation.

Do you have the link for that?

You did the right thing. Getting greedy is always what does people in.

I can't find it any more. The last time I saw it the OP had deleted all his posts, but the original story was still available in the quotes.

Starting off small and then slowly ramping up the amount is always a good way to start.
