Arbitrage between Virwox and MtGox

You can still get > $3 for your bitcoin at virwox.

How is the market so slow to adjust, baffles me

[K.A.T]

Yes. This is really annoying. My first Bitcoin was through VirWox. I stopped buying from them. Even the SLL price is not really reasonable...

Because it is not possible to do automated arbitrage there. The same happens with Bitmarket for example. On the other hand, exchanges with APIs have very little arbitrage opportunities and they are usually up for only a few minutes.
