Nevermind, bought at the exchange. Was hoping to avoid this. But judging by the responses it's much easier. Thanks for all the suggestions. Sammy

Hi Quicktrader, I realise that it would be cheaper for me to buy BTC on the exchange. However, I'm not looking to try and make a profit. To be honest i'm fed up with the whole process. All i'm looking to do, is make a painless one-off btc purchase. My sole intention for posting on the forum, was in the hope that somebody had a stockpile, and a quick trade could be made. Rather than lining the pockets of the exchange. Very anti-exchange at the moment. However, thats not looking too likely. Might just have to bite the bullet and purchase coins from mt.gox or something. What's a girl to do? Sam

thankyou for your pm bitcoinTrader. unfortunately, a wire transfer is not an option for me. I have already moved my funds to LR. would anyone else be interested? to clarify, I can offer: 20usd (LR) per bitcoin for smaller amounts, or I can go as high as 22usd per bitcoin (LR) for 100 BTC. Anyone. Kind Regards, Sam

Hi Guys, is there anyone trustworthy that would like to swap dollars for bitcoin? i've managed to load up my Liberty reserve
account with dollars,it was complicated to do this., and involved moving funds from some dubious? nigerian? exchange, too change, who then took a large chunk in commision. Anyway, got it done eventually What I want to do is buy enough bitcoins to make a large purchase on 'The Silk Road' as they only accept bitcoins. I would ONLY like to deal with established forum members, with multiple posts, and a trading record on the forum. There are some real sharks out there, Ive already been ripped off for 300usd so, i'me very wary! ideally i'me looking to swap USD for Bitcoins outright. Dolllars are not really
the main concern for me, and i am more than happy to pay 20USD (negotiable- for more money, if you can help for the full
amount of bitcoins outright). Need exactly 100 Bitcoins. Don't feel comfortable at all using another exchange after all the  hassle, and what i have been reading recently on the forums of exchanges being hacked. Would much prefer a personal trade. I'm more than happy to go first for the right person, or equally to use an escrow service if you prefer. So long as it's
quick. Can anyone help? if so please pm, or just reply here if you prefer. Not sure of the correct ettiquette, as I'm fairly new to the whole bitcoin trading. So, aplogies if this is not the correct way to do things. Many thanks and kind regards,
Sammy (United Kingdon).
