Sales are not permitted without a Silk Road vendor account, and are not permitted on the forums regardless. All members should note that when they go outside the protection of the Silk Road escrow system, whether by engaging in deals privately with vendors or private individuals (which as mentioned is not permitted here), or by Finalising Early, they give up all the protection that escrow provides. They then have NO protection. It is akin to giving a stranger on the street $1000 because he's promised to go around the corner and bring you back some gold. Is he likely to reappear? No. It is literally no different to that, with the only exception being that you actually have more of a chance of finding the guy on the street! Trainwrecked, you've been here long enough to know the rules. Libertas
