Make sure to escrow, that is one of the biggest things in the bitcoin world. I have created an escrow service to mainly help small investors such as yourself, under 3 BTC my escrow charge is free unless it takes more then 72 hours to complete. If my reputation and vouches do not meet your satisfaction I would recommend talking to JohnK or BCB for their escrow services. This is to prevent you from getting scammed. Good luck to you and welcome to the world of bitcoins!
I'll bear you in mind at the moment of doing the transaction.
Sounds good, I will only be online for the next 90 minutes however and then will be back online in about 5 hrs after that for a long period. If needed please see my escrow service thread for directions and reputation thread which are both found below in my signature.
