I don't recommend it much, as you may get robbed...

Please do not give false info to newcomers.
You only get robbed if you meet in the slums.

Meet in a casino at the security desk or something similar.
You can also just buy moneypak/reloadIT/vanilla and exchange with that on LBC.

Bank deposit, wire, wu, mg...list goes on and on.
PM me if you need any help.

I never said it was definite that you would get robbed, I never said Don't do it, I said I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT, because it has happened to me, even if some of the most securest places.
So stop hopping dick, and instead of just saying I 'gave' false information, You could have at least recommend other places.
You know, instead of being a douche

They're people here selling BTCtc for WU and MG, And they use escrow, the fees might be high but it would be same as paying cash.

you will find sellers on localbitcoins.

You could buy Bitcoin with cash using Money Gram or Western Union on Coinmama: https://www.coinmama.com/ but sincerely I don't know if they are legit or not...

go to BTC ATM, some cities have but some don't. Check the location out first before you do it !

Hey, what about this website, is it legit?
bitplastic.com

This site is a well known scam. Avoid it at all cost. This guy has a bunch of sites and they are all bogus. You can research on your own and find plenty of horror stories about this dude.

I just sold .25 bitcoin via cash by mail.
The buyer mailed me the cash via certified letter with signature delivery.
I used a multisig 2 of 3 transaction with a trusted member here as an arbitrator.

The multisig takes the risk of nonpayment out the system. When the cash shows up, I sign the multisig address to release the bitcoin.
If the guy doesen't mail the cash, the bitcoin does not leave the multisig address and the arbitrator is called in.
The arbitrator sees there is no proof of delivery and signs the bitcoin back to me.


Worked as smooth as butter (without the need for any arbitration).

LBC / bitcointalk / numerous ways...

Check http://www.meetup.com/ to see whether there are any bitcoin groups that meet regularly in your area. You can probably find someone with whom you can trade with in an environment that is more likely secure than meeting someone off CL ... and also gives you an opportunity to learn more etc.

Did you try on localbitcoins?

[chaosknight]

yes there is
localbitcoins is place where you can find a seller and buy bitcoins with cash

[Fabrizio89]

Where are you from? You could look for a near Bitcoin ATM http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-atm-map/ and buy them there.

For people that don't live in a large population center Localbitcoins can be hit or miss if you are looking for a face to face transaction.
There are also people that do cash in the mail on Localbitcoins, but they either use escrow (which requires total trust with the person doing the escrow) or you have to send the cash first and hope they send you the bitcoins later.

An alternative is a 2 of 3 multi-signature transaction with an neutral arbitrator. With this type of transaction there is no trust required.
It is easy to do once you know how and the costs are negligible.

Look into it.

This is wrong; the sellers on localbitcoins use the site escrow, so you only need to trust the exchange escrow and arbitration system.

Right, my bad.

Wrong again. If you are sending cash in the mail then you need to trust the person you are buying from as there will be very little evidence for either party to give to the LBC escrow service so they can essentially rule either way

I am sure you can find a reputable seller who can make the exchange easy on you. However, you should not send large amounts of cash through the mail...

First, you should trade sensibly by choosing reputable exchangers.

Second, if the seller lies and you protest, then basically the exchange support cannot rule against you.

Third, for cash in mail it is highly suggested that you require video evidence of the pick up of the package, opening of package, counting of the money, and validating the legitimacy of the notes. How will somebody fake the pickup of a package of cash at USPS? If you also make a coinvincing video then support cannot rule against you.

Ask any reputable cash by mail seller for more tips.

Someone could mail you an empty envelope or something
You won't know it's empty until after its delivered
The usps tracking number will show its been delivered
Very old scam was common on eBay in the early days
