I can only purchase from sites that accept MoneyPak's,

There are usually traders with a trust history on the #bitcoin-otc marketplace who will sell bitcoins for moneypack.

Because MoneyPak is irreversible, you want to trade safe:

Damn, hate to bump my own thread, but surely someone has dealt with one (or both) of these people? Sad

Hey guys. I am looking to buy some bitcoins but I am trying to decide between the 2 sites mentioned in the subject.

I am planning to buy the coins using a MoneyPak, so therefore I can only purchase from sites that accept MoneyPak's, specifically those 2 sites seem to be the best sites that accept MoneyPak's.

However, I cant decide between the 2 sites. BitcoinBux has only been around like 2.5 weeks, so it's hard to judge if they're truly trustable or not. BitcoinExchange has been around since April and has done a lot of transactions and gained a lot of trust.
However, BitcoinExchange seemed to come to a halt somewhere in June and started taking forever to send peoples funds atleast from what I've read (unless thats changed). BitcoinBux apparently isn't taking forever right now, and their fee is half a percent cheaper but I don't know if they can be trusted?

Has anyone dealt with either site very recently (like in the last couple days) and used a MoneyPak to buy their coins? How did it go? Who do you guys recommend?
