Title: Want to buy BitCoins for CHF or GBP Post by: Mike Hearn on December 14, 2010, 05:40:12 PM I'd like to buy some (maybe a few hundred) coins using either Swiss Francs or pound sterling, but it seems the existing markets are primarily requiring US dollars.
Does anyone know where I can make such a trade. Is my best bet to use PayPal or something like that to convert my currency into dollars then convert again into BitCoins?

Are you willing to go out on a limb and risk sending those notes by international mail?

I also accept GBP, but I have high fees in order to convert to USD. http://bitcoinmorpheus.tumblr.com/post/2301381008/how-to-buy-bitcoin-and-mt-gox-usd-with-cash-in-the Title: Re: Want to buy BitCoins for CHF or GBP Post by: Cdecker on December 14, 2010, 09:34:27 PM How many would you buy and where do you live?

You would have to send them to me via international mail which I have done before with one other person.

Right now I have something in mind I want to buy from somebody who accepts BitCoins, so the exact amount is pending negotiation. I'm just trying to figure out ahead of time where to get them. I'd be after a fair old number of bitcoins ... at current exchange rates maybe a thousand.
