BTC NYC

[eximo]

Has anyone had any luck buying/selling BTC in NYC recently.  I was pretty active from June-October (30+ btc bought/sold), but since price shot up seems to be alot of people just scamming/wasting time.  I used to use craigslist to find people to deal with.  Now its just all referal links, and sketchy stuff.  Localbitcoins hasnt been great either.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks guys!

Use cash or exchanges

Well what I meant was has anyone had many good face to face transactions recently.  I miss the time when I could go wait at a starbucks, do a trade, chat with the other guy for a bit about how they are involved with bitcoins while we waited for confirmations.  Plus you got to know on the spot that transaction was good.   Good memories selling 15+ btc to one guy and counting all those bills in the middle of a starbucks (sold them for around 100 bucks), too bad I didn't wait a few months and all those 20s would have been 100s!

How do you meet people that are willing to buy/sell BTC

I made craigslist posts and would chat back and forth until we felt comfortable enough to exchange phone numbers, then pick a place and time to meet up.  I probably did 10+ transactions for 30+ btc total.  Now craigslist is filled with referral links, scams, etc so it doesnt seem to work for me anymore....
