looking to buy $70 mt gox please pm me.  was talking with gusti, but he's non responsive now, and i would like to buy today.

Would like to exchange $150 USD for BTC today, as soon as possible.  Problem is I loaded up a credit card with cash for a purchase prior to knowing that traditionally a bank account must be attached to Dwolla, etc. for a standard exchange.  Would appreciate some help to figure out what to do or send a payment for exchange.

Please PM with details or interest in assisting in this stat.  Will be back on in ~6-8 hrs to check in and make the trade.

I have USD$100 and would like to buy Bitcoins. Can transfer via Wells Fargo customer-to-customer, cash anywhere in San Francisco Bay Area, or Paypal. PM me.

From what I have read here, I'm definitely not the only person new to this whole bitcoin thing who doesn't understand why there are so many damn sites to deal with, firstly, and why none of them seem to work unless you happen to live in America.  Seriously, isn't the whole point of a digital currency for it to be independent of the country you live in?  It's kind of insane that I can find 5 or 6 reputable exchanges in the US that will take money from other bank transferring companies in the US (ie, dwolla.com -> mt.Gox -> bitcoin [ps - what the hell?  why so much damn work?]).  I can totally understand the point made above about how all of these steps involved in the transaction serve to exponentially decrease anonymity of one's personal details.

However, I really couldn't care less if some transfer company has my bank account information as long as it's been around for a long time and is trusted.  Honestly, you guys who live in the US and are complaining about how dwolla takes a day to register your account?  Stop whining, dammit.  As far as I can tell, the only method for me to get bitcoins short of mailing a money order to Mt. Gox is to use a networking site like bitcoin.local to meet someone in my city.  Sounded like an easy enough idea.  Unfortunately, when I looked at the map for my city of 3 million (Toronto), there were about 5 merchants in the city, two of whom had forgotten to include any contact information.

So... after spending several hours trying to figure out how to buy the damn things I'm having a lot of trouble understanding how they ever increase in value. and how anyone in Canada could get bitcoins without waiting 10 days.  The exchange rate on this thing is so ridiculous it could be 4x as much by the time my snail mail envelope arrives there.  That's totally unacceptable and unfair to Canadians.  Of course, I want to make it clear that I'm not actually complaining about any specific site here - just the entire concept of bitcoins.  I read about this "mining" thing too, which also is apparently worthless to the poor average citizen like me.  This whole virtual currency just looked so cool until I realized it seems to be some exclusive club for a bunch of dudes with server farms and US bank accounts.

Does ANYONE know a site that will take CDN bank transfer, such as interac email money transfer?  I would like to avoid WU and MG, as they cost over $20 and $10, respectively.  I find it extremely odd that Mt Gox has an Australian bank partner, an EU one, and no Canadian one.  Would anyone from Canada personally like to sell me around $100 of bitcoin with email money xfer?  I don't really have a problem using PayPal either, if anyone outside Canada will sell to me, but I would rather avoid it if possible because of its general lameness. 

Someone please help!  I want to be a fun economics hipster!

I can sell you some MtGox USD using interac email transfer. I sent you a pm.

Edit: The MtGox USD are sold and I'm not planing on selling any more at this time.

I'd like to buy 800 Mt. Gox USD via PayPal. Please offer me a good price in this thread. I'd be ready to pay around 850 PP USD.

I would like to buy a small ammount of mtgox or bitcoins with paypal,
willing to buy more in the future once its tested as a viable currency.

please pm me or email me.
