Has anyone bought Bitcoin from any of the UK vendors on here and have you been scammed?
Dont normally need to do this but the usual method isnt working for me at the moment. DAMMMMMMMIT.
Thanks

I havent bought bitcoins from anyone on the road, but i have used Googleyed ( http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/d1d2469a98 ) for other stuff and i know he does sell bitcoins and is legit.

I don't think ide be to worried about being scammed by a Uk coin seller theres to much money to be made legit(I do use that term loosly),and enough coin to go around so I don't really see it as much risk at all I'de trust any Uk coin merchant on SR just as much as sites like localbitcoin or bitbargin whicj is a total rip off why would anybody buy a coin for £88 when the Gox price is only £66 to me that stinks of money laundering and you'de all do well to stay away from bitbargin,the coin merchants here offer coin at Gox rates sometime below but never £20 over infact I've saw bitbargin selling coins for £140 over Gox ask pricestick with SR coin merchant's.

I charge £3 below MtGox avg rate so you actually get more coin for your cash

Most of these types of transactions ends with the person purchasing the coins saying they got ripped off.
SR can't monitor or supervise these transactions, so you won't get any help from SR admins if it goes wrong. If you go ahead and do it, do it for an amount that you are prepared to lose.

I am not ripping anyone off! I've had loads of people use the service, not one has complained. Only praised. If stats are good enough you receive coins upfront (up to 100%) and pay the cash after. I am more likely to get scammed than the customer. I agree, only do what you feel comfortable with but I am regularly changing over £1000.

If you are in UK you could try FromOneToAnother. They’re currently the biggest bitcoin vendor on Silk Road and has the quickest turn around. http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/e889d89625

BTC4CASH UK, I am not saying that you did or ever will. All I am saying is that SR admins cannot protect users in this type of situation.

No need for apologies. I have done my share of those today, too. :-X
You seem like one of the good ones. More power to you.

You have feedback to work out if a vendor is legit. If it looks dodgy, I would not suggest going with that vendor, but f it is glowing, then they are legit.

To be fair, it is very easy to fake feedback. It costs some money, but the later payoff is huge.
