I guess you'll need more than 100% collateral with altcoins as a newbie, what if litecoin loses 10% of it's value to bitcoin and you run away with the btc? That's around 1000$ profit for you...
I can sell 10 btc for cash in Vienna (don't live there but can buy a flight ticket (with btc) and then I'll be there) but only if I get a lot more than the standard bitstamp price
(BTW, I would want to lend you 10 bitcoin for 1500 litecoin collateral at 0.5% a day, you can chose whenever you pay back)
UPDATE : sended you a mail, maybe we can arrange something
