are you paid to say this?
People here are being totally ripped off for XRPs.
Ironcross360 are you:
(1) Ripping people off?
or
(2) Are you paid to mislead people?
or
(3) Or are just a n00b?

There are basically zero transaction costs to trade XRPs...
The market is pretty tight for a new currency about 100 spread, eg 6100-6200 buy/sell.
Basic instructions:
(1) Get BTC or USD in your Ripple account via Bitstamp.
(2) You have to extend trust to Bitstamp in amount you want... then send to Ripple address.
(3) Then in Ripple Client go to Advanced, then Trade.
(4) You can see the Bitstamp Order Book for XRP.
(5) All orders you enter become part of the Bitstamp Order Book.
(6) It's a blast to trade with zero fees...
Very DISRUPTIVE with Legacy Bitcoin Exchanges charging 0.5% to 3.0%.
bitstamp charges 3%
and during any step you can randomly expect to wait for up to 6 hours
people like me and ironcross provide liqduidity and a trusted trader (i would argue more reliable than the ripple system, given recent hacks to it) in exchange for a fee. if you don't like economics or people charging for convenience, don't use gas stations. get your pumped filled by buying barrels of gas on the exchanges.
its a joy to dump this crap currency and give people btc to help crash it.
