I need to buy bitcoins (~$800-2000) for wire transfer.
Escrow is accepted. Please post below or PM me.
Have you considered BitSimple?
Never heard of it but I'm checking it out now. Thank you.
Its operated by the company run by the bitcointalk user DeathAndTaxes.
Update: They unfortunately don't serve Californians.
Forgot you were in Cali. They encountered enough regulatory uncertainty out there that their legal counsel advised not serving that state. Talk to your state Representative and let them know they need to fix that problem.
