As the subject says, does an exchange exist for Bitcoin in which the user sets the price to sell their bitcoins instead of the website setting and forcing the user to accept their own sell price? I am putting together some research and it seems all the large exchanges don't allow the user this type of freedom when trading.

Thanks for any helpful responses.

Is the answer 'all of them' ?

Exchanges such as Cryptsy and Btc-e allow you to set any price you want, but it's unlikely that you'll sell for much higher than the market rate.

on cryptsy you can sell on your own price but mostly rates equal to other exchanges nothing special

You need to look at "Trade exchanges", not just "Exchanges".

Trade Exchange = To make offers (bid/ask) or (buy/sell) {You set the rate you desire, as an "order"}
Exchange = To get an exchange, at a specified exchange-rate that the exchange has offered.

Here are a few "Trade exchanges" and "Exchanges", otherwise known as "Markets"...
(Look under the markets menu on top.)

Unless you are patient enough. ;D

On BTC-e you can set a sell price for whatever you want, but unless someone is willing to buy it from you at the price you set, it'll just sit there forever.

Conversely, you can set a buy price at whatever you want, even one penny.  But unless someone puts in a sell order for that price, it'll just sit there forever.

You'd think that someone with over 370K BTC would know at least something about the exchanges...

BTC-e has an auto buy and sell option. Pretty easy to use.

Hey now, you said you sold/gave away all your coins!

The answer is correct.

Unfortunately, no.  ;)

Ok, thanks, I never saw those options listed on the site, but I guess you have to have an account first to see the rest.

Thanks for the link. I know the difference, but many sites don't make it clear exactly what they do.

Not looking to buy or sell, just research. Got out of that game a long time ago.  ;)

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the quick replies.  ;D

Probally Dealcoin

You don't have to have an account; just go to the site and the first thing you see is a big buy list and sell list.  Who do you think are setting those figures?  It sure as hell ain't the BTC-e staff.

Isn't being able to set bid/ask prices basically what defines an exchange?

Any "exchange" with only set-price market orders wouldn't really be an exchange, just a service.
(like Coinbase, for example - a very useful service, but not an exchange)

My first thought too. Knightmb is also the creator of timecoin.

Something doesn't add up. Could be a trust-building/trolling expedition by someone with access to the account...

Re question: Is there any Exchange, where you can NOT set your selling price? Obviously you can set YOUR selling price at every single Exchange on this earth?

Btc-E, Bitstamp, Gox, Cryptsy and and and...

Or maybe i just don't get the point what you mean with Exchange.

Coinbase is an exchange... you just take what they offer. (Just for example. But there are other exchanges that only do an "exchange", not "bids". Requires less effort, and gives them the ability to be a "broker" themselves. They are buying on the lowest exchanges and selling on the highest ones, but only offering you something near the middle.)

Coinbase is not an real exchange.
