Bitcoin Markets

[Ammanas]

Hey all,

I am very new to this forum (first time posting, hence the newbie section).  Anyway I am wondering what Bitcoin Marketplaces are the most popular and most recommended. I have done a fair amount of research and so far BitcoinMarket.com and Bitcoin7.com are the best choices.  I want to be sure before I join.

I've used VirWox before. Unfortunately you have to first buy Linden $s which is the in-game currency for Second Life and then transfer that over to BTC. It adds a step, but I've had success getting better deals for BTC.
