Don't trust Senior or Hero members just because of a title on a forum!!
They might be good for a few trades, but they could be a scammer in waiting! One trade too large and all your monies gone!
Beware!
If you do trade the more valuable currency trades last!! Do not send the more valuable currency first!!
True, therefore it would really be nice to have an escrow service, or you could always wait for the coin to hit an exchange. But then again the people buying right now are probably trying to hoard up so they can dump at a higher price when the coin hits its first exchange, so I guess if you want to make a big profit, you're going to have to take a big risk.
