You'd have to cash it out at an exchange and pay the individual in question. This choke point would leave you similarly locked out.

Would it? The parent commenter was in the United States, and even in cities of about 1 million people, I've seen Bitcoin ATMs at chain supermarkets. Some were even integrated into the ubiquitous CoinStar machines at the front of the store.

I'm pretty sure all those Bitcoin ATMs are deposit-only. No withdrawals. There may be some two-way, but I suspect they're exceedingly rare.
