newbie.. buying coins via western union

[bitbridgett]

I'm looking to buy a few coins and I have an offer to transfer money via western union. I would like get some opinions on this type of exchange. The trade has escrow.

Let us know how it goes, seems to me you did not post the escrow service cause you trust it and do not need feedback on it? I made a paypal exchange through ebay and it would be similiar to your trade, I sent them my paypal payment and I received my btc, but looking at some bad reviews it does not always go right, I find reading the trading threads and warnings has helped me out, sorry I did't help you any, this is good as a bump though and maybe someone with experience can give you feedback.
