Lots of buy orders at Crypto X Change... sold coins at $2.94

[evoorhees]

Hi traders,

Crypto X Change has a number of buy orders coming in and prices are being bid pretty high. I just sold 23 coins at $2.94 each.

If you have coins lying around, you might put a sell order there at higher than spot price and see if you can make a bit of profit.

I would be interested in the exchange, but the $15 fee for withdrawals and deposits makes it not worth it for me.  Even with $500, $15 is 3%.

I also am seeing only a slight premium to mtgox right now, not enough to cover the $15.  I pay .25 cents to withdraw to Dwolla on mtgox and zero for a check at Tradehill and a slightly lower trading fee at mtgox or Tradehill. 

Again, I always like alternatives and would try, but the $15 fee makes it fail for me.

I agree completely.  The $15 fee makes it a non-starter.  It costs me $0.25 to withdraw from MtGox to Dwolla.  Why would I pay 60 times that to withdraw from CryptoXChange?

I think it all depends where you are located.

If you are outside the US, there are not that many easy options to buy in... CryptoXchange might solve a few problems for non-US bitcoiners.

MtGox withdraws to Dwolla and then to your bank can take over ten days.

Withdraw from Crypto to your bank is more like 48 hrs.

Also - I think the fee is going to be reduced soon.

I agree that it can take 10 days (because so many other people have said so), but so far, the worst for me is 4 (over a weekend) and most are 48 hours or less with Gox. 

Even a $5 fee would still be a lot unless they really were consistently fast, always beating the others for time in transit to bank.  My goal is to keep my total BTC to bank fees to 1% (including trade fees), and have been doing so with Gox and Tradehill with $300 order sizes. 

Luckly I am able to buy more and more with BTC and having to trade in less.

I do it every month to pay the power bill, and it's never taken more than 3 business days, usually 2.  I have seen posts stating that a particular withdrawal took a while, but it's not happened to me.

Hopefully -- this is the sole reason I am not using CryptoXChange rather than MtGox.
