I'll buy it now for the full 3.05 BTC asking price, please to see my rep in sig where I've donated & given away many thousands of dollars worth of coins, if you trust me to pay on receipt of the bar then we don't need escrow; if we do then Yankee, Charlie from BitInstant, is already doing two for me atm.
Were would you be shipping from, or I may also be able to pick up in person from some places.

I've been asked to handle escrow for this transaction and have agreed. @Otoh has contacted the seller and myself and has paid the funds to a designated cold storage address. We are waiting on @BitchImightbe to ship the product and upon receiving it, I will release the funds to him Thanks all

Agreed a sale then sent me a payment address 20 minutes ago saying pay 2.5 BTC today, after you agreed the sale. I hope there was a legitimate misunderstanding with you there.

Scammers create fake accounts that are similar to the seller. They then watch the sales and send a fake "You won the sale, send payment here" to all the other bidders.

It was the same person who asked me to make payment today to a bitcoin address untill I mentioned it on this thread. After I mentioned it on this thread I was told the bar was sold. this was 12 hours after the sale was agreed. As I said I hope it was a genuine missunderstanding

As I said I hope it was a genuine missunderstanding I can´t find any trace of messages between you and me besides the one we exchanged about the bar some time ago. As a precaution i´ve changed my password. Again, the bar is sold and shipped, anyone contacts you or any other forum member saying something else is trying to scam you.

Look closer. The "I" is an "l" in the scammer's email. Edit: I could be wrong, can you fake activity count?
