I recommend you NOT accept bullion coins in full or partial payment, no matter how tempting. Your friends will be witnesses to a bill of sale. You only have one chance to do it right. And if you're in a major metro area, I would not rule out CraigsList -- 100% free, meet ONLY inside your bank, accept ONLY cash, and still have a couple of friends on hand for moral support. I've sold plenty of coins on CraigsList, but with about one good buyer for every ten hackers or spammers, and a few psychos thrown in, just to make life interesting.
