Buying bitcoins???

[pezlow010]

I have been looking at bitcoins and I was wondering which market should I use to get an idea on how much the bitcoin is really worth? Mt. Gox, bitstamp, btce, or campbx? thanks guys for the help. I personally think bitstamp is more stable, but you guys are the experts.

So if someone tries to sell me bitcoins at Mt. Gox price they are scamming me? There is a guy that is selling bitcoins in my area for market price + 5% if you buy 10 or more. thanks and what is up with the 360 second wait? Is this for newbies only? thanks

I'll suggest you btce. This site is good enough then other sites.

I've had nothing but good experiences with using Bitstamp for purchasing bitcoin and using Blockchain as my wallet.

Awesome guys, thanks for the advise. I will try to talk to the guy about pricing and see we can reach a middle ground. I will look over btce and check their market data for the past week or so.

Mtgox prices are higher due to difficulties to withdraw dollars there, so Bitstamp gives a better idea of the Bitcoin market price.
Localbitcoin price may be higher than on bitstamp depending on how many sellers are at your location.
Btc-E has kinda low prices, because (afaik) it's difficult to get dollars into there.

Bitstamp for sure if you are european.

bitstamp
-you need to wire money, lame
btce
-its more complicated to fund your account than completing three sides of a rubix cube
mtgox
-they wont let you withdraw your money
coinbase
-its muh dwag, woof woof
