price at Coinbase vs. BTC-e

[aardvark15]

Does anyone know why there is such a big difference between the buy price for bitcoin at Coinbase ($602) vs. BTC-e ($535)?

Usually its due to factors such as accessibility of funds to and from your accounts as seen in mt gox's prices!

Ya accessibility plays a huge part. Yesterday for a couple of hours Coinbase was actually even and sometimes higher than Mt. Gox, which usually never happens. Mt. Gox is usually inflated by $50-100 over bitstamp and coinbase. Nice to see them evening out finally though!
