Title: Looking to buy bitcoin at $30 each - COMPLETE
Post by: newguy05 on June 09, 2011, 02:51:08 AM
Looking for 10 bitcoin, will pay $30 each.  This bitcoin market is really a mess looks like just a bunch of basement outfits running solo.  I have a verified ebay account with 1000+ feedbacks / 99.5% rating and verified paypal, both were established over a decade ago. We can do 1 bitcoin at a time and i send first using gift option via paypal.  Or if you are around NYC we can meet in person, basically bring your laptop to a starbuck i give you cash and you click the button to transfer the bitcoins.  PM me if anyone is selling.

This p2p currency is really a cool idea, but it desperately need a large firm to establish a legit market where buy/sell can take place.

EDIT: Hi guys sorry i cant reply to all the pm but I am no longer looking for bitcoins, got a few from members here and the rest from tradehill.  thanks all

Your frustration is shared by many.

People have cash in hand ready to purchase, yet the process is not as simple and timely as they would like. (Attention developers: this is called opportunity.)

I can hear them now:
"Yeah, I looked into bitcoin, and I wanted to buy, but it was such a hassle, so I gave up."

I too am looking to buy a few bitcoins at around $30. I see the price is around $25 - $28 as I post this.

Paypal directly, looking for 2. From what I can tell, the price has dropped slowly all day. D:

Paypal and credit cards are too easily reversed.  TradeHill looks like it will quickly take much marketshare away from MtGox.  It is very slick looking, relatively easy to understand, and has a buy bitcoins button right on it so you don't have to worry about Ask/Bid price etc.

Use referral code TH-R1366 for lifetime discount on all transaction fees

You can deposit funds with a direct bank transfer, Dwolla, or Liberty reserve.  Of course if you can find somebody local to buy from cash is still king.

I guess I'll find out soon enough.  Traded some BTC for USD on it.  Initiating withdraw to Dwolla.  I'll let you know.

Well, that was fast.

Requested withdraw on site, followed directions to request from dwolla website, received money 50 minutes later.  Not sure if they manually did it or what, but that beats the 4+ days on MtGox.

Edit: And I received a response to my email shortly afterwards.  Apparently they'd streamlined the process so you only need to type your Dwolla address in to receive the funds, not initiate a request through Dwolla.

I'm very excited by this as a direct competitor for MtGox.  Only having 1 viable option for Buy/Sell meant 1 head to the snake for those looking to shut this down to attack.

To OP.. Sorry for hijacking your thread.

What's wrong with MT Gox? It's cheap and it works, or so it seems to me!

Well, they recently had some delays with Dwolla withdraws (Dwolla's fault), and tradehill has lower fees.  Competition is good, it will lower transaction fees, increase features, and make markets actually compete for your business.

Why do you think EA sports basically releases a roster update every year for Madden football?  No competition.  They don't have to compete for your business, if you want to play video game football, you only have 1 choice.
