Title: Vendor starrynight would like to try to trade bitcoins
Post by: starrynight on August 11, 2012, 01:30 am
I've been on here for a few months and I'm probably going to have 200 feedbacks soon.

I am hoping to start small with someone who needs Bitcoins.

It would be amazing if someone were willing to take a chance and send me cash in the mail. I would send bitcoins to the customer, Mt. Gox ask rate, day of the receipt of cash.

I am happy charging 0% commission as long as I find an inexpensive way to cash out. PM me if someone is interested giving this a try. Thanks!

No amount would be too small. If I were to scam a customer, which I would NEVER do, I would be trashing my rep as a vendor so I would have a lot to lose.

starrynight, you really need to re-examine your cash-out methods. You sell illegal items on Silk Road, and you want to give an address to people to send money to you for your bitcoins?! Look at EVERY order as if it's from Law Enforcement, because there's a chance that sooner or later one will be! But now they wouldn't even need to order drugs. They'd just need to place a small order for Bitcoin with you.

Selling drugs and providing Bitcoin via cash in the mail is an absolutely outrageous idea. Either do one or the other.
I would have suggested that you open up a seperate account exclusively as a Bitcoin exchanger but now that you've mentioned your intention to do so, it's possible that your writing style etc. is being profiled. This may seem a tad unlikely, but it's not impossible. In which case you'd be risking your freedom for the cost of a seperate vendor's account at $150.

I'm not someone who buys into the general paranoia that is sometimes exhibited here, but this is a really, REALLY bad idea. Don't risk it!

PM vlad1m1r for a consultation, or limetless if you're moving large volumes of cash. Any money you spend doing that is an investment in your future and in your freedom.

Stay safe!

I really appreciate the warning. I have considered these concerns and they are very serious ones. I am certainly not interested in jeopardizing my freedom.

Sorry if I sounded a little harsh in the last post! I just don't want to see anyone get taken down over a simple thing like that. That's how they got vendors on The Farmer's Market, because they were using PayPal and W.U. to receive payments.
And realistically a vendor selling drugs here receiving payments via W.U. for selling Bitcoin is the exact same as just selling the drugs for W.U. in the first place. When you look at it like that, it's scary how vulnerable you'd be making yourself!

Best of luck cashing out, and again, get in touch with vlad1m1r or Limetless and see about purchasing a consultation with them.

Take care.

Have you thought about doing greendot moneypaks? You can add funds right from your computer to a card that excepts it. A person would send you the number from the back of their newly purchased moneypak and you could add funds really fast and send bit coin to their name instantly. Be aware of people who try to lie and say you stole their money from off the moneypak. They be trying to get you to give them a "refund"
