You might want to put a question mark over
Anon136 who first wanted to set up a "send cash in the mail to me"
ahem service, and has now switched to "send me gold and silver in the mail"
ahem service with an as yet unnamed escrow service (here we go again) that almost reads as though s/he wants to
self escrow...
New: Bitcoin for gold in the mail. Orderbook and escrow service. Very strong rep.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1179847.0 (Self moderated - one of the so called scam flags)
Old: Anyone interested in a bitcoin for cash gold in the mail escrow service? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1177709.0 (Thread closed when it was suggested the cash notes' serial numbers could be recorded and or the cash / notes marked by government agencies)
*edit* serial numbers can be micro laser etched on to gold / silver bullion BTW, so
they can track you...
2nd edit ... part of the text from second thread, the first has been modified as I type.
The pitch:
I will be offering the ability to acquire bitcoins simply, cheaply and without the need to interface with the banking system.
The following will be all one need do in order to acquire bitcoin via my service: Purchase a 1/10th ounce coin or bar from your local coin shop; Use this thread to fill a buy order; Wait for confirmation that the buyer has delivered the requisite bitcoin into my escrow account; Send the 1/10th ounce coin standard post to my po-box; Then simply wait for the bitcoins to be released to the address of your choice.
