Hi all,
If anyone is looking to sell BTC for AUD, I would be keen to buy them, at good market rates. I'd be looking to buy anywhere from 10-200 BTC, and possibly more if the rates are good.
I'm in Melbourne, so I could give you cash in person. Otherwise I could do some online transfer like Paypal-to-Paypal, but you'd need to establish your credibility.
Cheers

Gah... I just got back from Australia and got raped on the exchange rate. I would have sold you 200 BTC in a heartbeat while I was there!

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

Apologies for taking a long time to get back to you.
I just sent you a message on your bitcoin.com.au website (using "Contact" page).

Just an update. I've somewhat solved this problem myself- I setup BitPiggy.com. Anyone with an Australian bank account can use it to buy and sell BitCoins for AUD. I still need to drop into the IRC channel. Been too busy finishing off BitPiggy! |

If you have an ANZ bank account, just use their internet banking, enable international transfers from within it, then do a wire transfer to Mt Gox (after you signup and ask for their account details). Within the ANZ transfer screens, it will ask you what currency to transfer in, and just pick USD. Your AUD will be converted before sending. It's simple.

Ah thanks! I totally didn't realize it was that easy. I though you had to use things like Paxum, Liberty Exchange, etc.

So how does bitpiggy work?
Do you wait untill there are 2 people wanting the opposite of the other and then escrow that transaction between them or have you bought a ton of bitcoins yourself and hope to mark them up a little through bitpiggy?

To 42kang,
I try to run BitPiggy like your average currency exchange, so the idea is:
1) Its a place where people can always buy or sell BitCoins, no questions asked, so long as BitPiggy has enough funds (either BitCoins or Australian Dollars).
2) BitPiggy does not necessarily have to have large reserves of either BitCoins or Australian Dollars, so long as enough people with both AUD and BTC keep wanting to swap for the other.
Since it is starting out, I don't have large reserves of BitCoins, and would not necessarily want to. There will likely be some rough spots (like today when I let the BitCoin balance run down to zero!). But otherwise, think of BitPiggy as a way to convert one to the other.
If you have any other questions, let me know. Can post here or DM me on twitter @bitpiggy.
~Mat
