I like the fact that he hasn't even acknowledged my post, or my PM.
I increase my offer to paying with BTC ($120 worth), but still only after I receive it. If you don't accept this from someone with my level of trust, it would lead other people to think you probably aren't the most trustworthy individual to put it lightly. I absolutely refuse to trade in PM (Any PM's I do send will be crossposted in this thread), because I feel this could lead to different people paying for the same piece of equipment.
Edit: Something I'll leave here for other people. He's asking for half payment up front for xbox one he's selling in an auction.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=567145.msg6189852#msg6189852 I'm already giving him the benefit of the doubt by offering to pay him MORE than what he asked for and using my trust ratings to get some leverage in the situation. We'll see how it goes. He hasn't replied to any of my offers though.
