Danny, I have 2.72
Clearly your rep trumps Kings negative rating.
If you are concerned at all about the rating of someone you are dealing with, you can always insist on escrow service. This would protect you from being scammed and allow you to transact with someone that you don't feel comfortable trusting. I regularly engage in transactions with people that have significant negative ratings. As long as they are willing to turn the bitcoins over to a trusted escrow provider, the rating is meaningless to me.
It is also important to look at the actual feedback on their trust page. Take a look at mine, and you will see that many people have left me negative ratings just because they were angry about something I said. Fortunately I have enough positive ratings that their negative ratings don't have much effect on my overall score.
However, I am not in a hurry to grab the first offer. I need market price, I think that is fair.
Not a problem.
I'm also not currently in a hurry. I can wait for a better deal elsewhere. If you have difficulty finding a buyer and change your mind, just let me know. If I come into a more urgent need and you haven't yet found a buyer, I'll let you know.
