Are there fees to sell on MTGOX?

[nckrazze]

Hi, I am new to the whole bitcoin scheme, but I was wondering if there are exchange fees for using the MTGOX.com service to sell or buy bitcoins. I currently have a 1.8 gigahash machine with 2 5850's and 3 5830's, but was just wondering what I should do with all the BTC once I start making a bit.

What else is there to do with bitcoins, other than claiming them for cash?

There are fees at nearly all exchanges.  The fee for selling will vary as higher volumes get a lower rate.  Starting out you are at 0.6%.  There may be additional fees when withdrawing those funds as wel..  For instance, the least method is Dwolla at $0.25 per transaction.  Wire transfers are much more expensive.

Thanks for the help, Stephen, I might consider spending the future BTC on investments in the market instead of exchanging!
