I have a question about how buyers and sellers rectify exchange rate differences when doing a transaction.  Let's say that a buyer says that an item is worth 0.5btc. Now, 0.5btc is worth a certain amount according to Mt. Gox. But it may be worth a different amount according to BitStamp and a different amount still according to BTC-E.  Sometimes, these variances can be over $10.00 USD.

So my question is: how do buyers and sellers rectify these differences?

Thanks!

Buyers and sellers tend to have rates they go by, and it's a do-my-rates-or-don't-trade kinda thing.

For example, I price and sell at Bitstamp last, instead of places like Mt. Gox or BTC-E because I think Bitstamp is the closest to market. There are plenty of others who price at Mt. Gox or BTC-E for similar reasons.

This is a good guide but the price is ultimately what you are willing to pay or what they are willing to sell for.

The prices are not based off of usd but Bitcoin... It's self substantial. People just assume the price in usd and then think of a fair conversion...
