I did have to pay a premium to buy on localbitcoins, but it was comparable to the fees I paid to wire money to Bitstamp. So all in all, I preferred the cash route.

Well i hate transfer money to exchange cause it takes a long time. So i prefer using some trusted local/personal seller, or BTC-E (Okpay or PM for small amount) Hi, I am trying not to buy BTC, but to work for it and earn it. BR
Just like me i almost never bought it, i earn it and if i need some cash then i sell it .

Local Bitcoins is the only way I do it. Nothing better than grabbing some cash out of the ATM, going to a Starbucks, and handing it over for some BTC. I don't like to deal with exchanges when I don't have to.

What are some options, besides localbitcoins.
I was considering coinbase, but I heard they delay the price point or limit your purchase? Or they delay the coins to send you.

I use Coinbase to get my dollars into the system. That's the easiest way I've found as a US resident. After that, I usually send my coins to cold storage or to an exchange like BTCE or Bitfinex. I've never deposited money to an exchange before; it seems like a headache.

I've used Coinbase, though I am not a huge fan. But it's an easy way to get money directly from your bank into bitcoin. I like to use cash on LBC when I can, but unfortunately never built up any feedback there, so not much luck posting ads.

I have never had a problem with coinbase. With that said i barely register on the radar of buying and selling coins. I typically use coinbase.com to cash out. I believe they have a waiting period if you want more than 2,000 or maybe its 3,000 per day.

I have used virwox a lot since they accept Paypal deposits. They are slow on withdrawals as there is a procedure to hold your first BTC withdrawal for 48 hours and their fees are steep. Try using a BTC Machine which dispense bitcoins, it typically takes a few minutes.

I agree, Coinbase is very easy and has a good interface. It's a good way to get money from your bank and into the BTC economy. It is not a good platform for trading, though.

In The Netherlands we have this awesome website www.bitonic.nlYou can already buy or sell bitcoins very easily with online banking. However I understand that other country's dont have it so easy as us. If there wouldnt be a site here like Bitonic I think I would use www.localbitcoins.comBest would be to look for a trader, with a good reputation and is living close. And just meet up in person I guess.

I only wish I could enter a USD amount in and coinbase gives me bitcoins for that amount, including the fees.

In Europe use kraken, it's the best and safest.

I use localbitcoins because it is p2p and I have indeed made a few bitcoin friends through the trades.
