Cash on glass or distro for me. Drove 3 hrs each way to buy in person from cointaker (wanted to save shipping fees and didn't mind the drive). I wouldn't be opposed to using a trusted escrow service. I personally wouldn't do a deal just sending that much cash and waiting to ship. Shit happens no matter someones reputation, then you have a mess to fight through. Been burned one too many times. Cash on glass, escrow service, or wait.
