I made craigslist posts and would chat back and forth until we felt comfortable enough to exchange phone numbers, then pick a place and time to meet up.  I probably did 10+ transactions for 30+ btc total.  Now craigslist is filled with referral links, scams, etc so it doesnt seem to work for me anymore....

Well what I meant was has anyone had many good face to face transactions recently.  I miss the time when I could go wait at a starbucks, do a trade, chat with the other guy for a bit about how they are involved with bitcoins while we waited for confirmations.  Plus you got to know on the spot that transaction was good.   Good memories selling 15+ btc to one guy and counting all those bills in the middle of a starbucks (sold them for around 100 bucks), too bad I didn't wait a few months and all those 20s would have been 100s!

Has anyone had any luck buying/selling BTC in NYC recently.  I was pretty active from June-October (30+ btc bought/sold), but since price shot up seems to be alot of people just scamming/wasting time.  I used to use craigslist to find people to deal with.  Now its just all referal links, and sketchy stuff.  Localbitcoins hasnt been great either.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks guys!
