One thing you might consider is sending MtGox a wire transfer and trading on that exchange. I've had good luck doing so with largish amounts in the past.

I'd go with Mt. Gox too.  Be aware that they have a $1,000 per day withdrawal limit.  So it'll take you 1.5 weeks to withdraw your Bitcoins after you've purchased them.  It'd be no fun to be caught by surprise Smiley

I believed that the withdrawal limits only applied on cash.
I do not see the point on limiting BTC too.

If you don't own the private keys, you don't own the coins.

High chance this person is a scammer, first posts of person are about making a large buy, preferably using paypal. Who wants to buy 10kUSD of bitcoin with little or no interaction with us previously.

I don't think so. He didn't mentioned paypal. And - why should anyone have long talks on this forum before big buy? There are busy people who don't want to spend hours on forum at all. This forum != all bitcoin users. People here around are calling investors. And when they arrive, people call them scammers? Wink

Just looking at his past posts. I could be wrong, I'm just very wary about large amounts, having been burned too many times.

I suspect it is to stop a run or limit exposure to possible exploits.

Are you confirming there's a limit on btc too?
Doesn't make sense to me but that's ok.

If someone shows up and wants to wire 10k usd for btc that's fine.
If someone wants to pay me 10k in paypal that I don't know then that's something else.
I've had bad luck with paypal and I wouldn't risk 10k on it.

Oh, I know. I'd insist on a bank wire for this trade. I'm not stupid. Smiley

Where has this been documented/mentioned.  I've only heard of a limit on USD.

I can confirm that the limits are in place on BTC withdrawals, even if they're not documented.  I hit them about twice a week while operating CoinPal.

I assume the limits apply to Bitcoins because Mt. Gox (or their lawyers) consider Bitcoin as a stored value product.  My understanding is that U.S. law doesn't regulate stored value products when the volume is below $1,000 per day.

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation.

Aye. It's me. Smiley My clone doesn't actually have access to the forum.

I've also hit those limits. The stored value explanation that mndrix offered is spot on, in my opinion.

After talking to this guy via email I'm starting to get that faint aroma of "scam". I could be wrong.

If anyone else wants to take this deal, feel free. I'm not interested anymore. Smiley

Is this a "I'm only doing it with paypal" or a "you transfer first" aroma?
Bummer, I was just reading a story how a guy thought he was going to get scammed and the dude ended up paying him so it inspired me.
