Woot! I can finally post in the regular sections now :-)

I just wanted to say I tried it myself and I fully recommend it. It is most definitely legit, though the time it takes to get your BTC may vary depending on the seller. It took about 5 hours after my deposit to seller's account before the seller verified the deposit and gave permission to release my btc, but I DID get my btc the same day so I can't complain with all the other scams out there and legitimate sites that take DAYS to exchange.

Also regarding the Bank Business Card, I made the suggestion to Dan, but if you use the same bank, just use the same business card every time you deposit.

I'm use Chase and Bank of America so I will always use the same banks in my area so I will always use the same business cards from those banks. There is no need to ask for one EVERY TIME you go to deposit if you've gone to that same bank before. Just use the same card you got there last time and scan it with the receipt. No muss, no fuss.

Thanks to the BTC Brokers team for the great service :-)

P.S. does anyone else find it funny that Dan's last name is Brown? Like the author Dan Brown (Angels & Demons, Davinci Code)? :-P

You are correct. I am surprised I didn't think of it earlier. If you are a repeat client, just hang onto the business card from your previous deposit, and submit it each time you deposit at that bank. This will save you having to collect a new one each time you visit the bank.

On a side note, there are lots of BTC available in Canada right now at any Canada Trust.

Thanks.

what can i expect to pay with this service relative to mt gox spot price when all is said and done? i'm working on setting up a vending machine in my area and trying to figure out the cheapest way to get a supply of coins. i was hoping to charge 4.9% over mtgox spot while still leaving myself room for profit.

Sellers typically sell their BTC for between MtGox to MtGox +3 %.

The Bitcoin-Brokers fee is always 2%.

Hope that helps.

I'm honestly a bit surprised at the fuss over business cards. In every bank I've ever visited in the US (New Jersey, Virginia, and Texas), the tellers always had their cards out in a little holder at their window. I used to laugh a little at that, wondering who'd need the card of a random teller - now I know. Smiley I never had to ask, I just took one. I'd assumed that was just standard industry practice, but given the feedback here, I guess it's not.

Just sent 5 BTC to sell. Time zone differences are always a pain. Hopefully you can find a buyer soon.

I want to address the issue that a few people seem to have with collecting the business card of the teller after a deposit has been made.

I know that it may not seem to serve a purpose other than collecting the name of the person who accepted the deposit, but it does.

I need to see the business card because it shows me the city and State that the bank is located in. I need that to establish what time zone you are in. A deposit slip that states 2:30pm doesn't tell me enough. I need to know 2:30 where to establish the correct pricing of the bitcoin from MtGox.

So please, I know it adds that extra step, but it really makes things easier for me.

PS-I know somebody will ask, so I will answer the question in advance.................."No, you may not just tell me what time zone you are in. I need to see the business card to know that is your time zone".

Thanks

With all due respect, I know it's your business to run as you think best. But I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Every time I've asked for a business card it's been awkward. The last time the teller got all flustered looking for one, took forever, then finally gave me one from her co-worker and wrote her name on it. She was clearly concerned that she's done something I didn't like, and was trying to figure out what. This in spite of me giving her my best smile and being ultra friendly.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but this is my least favorite part of an otherwise incredibly smooth and pain free process. I was thinking the name of the teller and the address of the bank branch should be all you need Smiley

At any rate, keep up the good work.

Cardcomm, asking for a business card is standard practice at banks especially for transactions like these. Don't let the newb tellers awkward reaction sway you, gold and silver futures trade in this exact same way so on your end it's not anything odd for the banks. In the future, try asking for "the bank's business card for reference/future transactions" so it's not so personal and direct. They can give you a blank card or just anybody's card they find close by.

Anyway, I just thought I would help, I have asked for many business cards through my business and once you find the right approach it's very straight forward. I can definitely see where you're coming from and how it can be awkward in certain situations.


SELL UPDATE: Just a quick update for everyone with my trading status, I have sold over 100 btc to date through BB and I have been able to clear my funds out of GOX. Awesome system guys, thanks again.

Yeah, I'll try and refine my approach for the future. It might be easier asking for the bank's business card. Although the one time I asked that way, they tried to get me to open an account Smiley  I'll just try and make the best of it in future transactions. I'm sure it'll get easier, or at least I'll notice less.   hahaha

BTW, I do understand the need for clear identification of the specific branch. That makes perfect sense.

Would it make it easier if it was just anybody's card from the bank as opposed to the teller you spoke with?

The main reason why I need it is to establish the time zone for the pricing. There has never been one transaction where the business card was ever needed do to a conflict with a deposit (knock on wood).

I've been working with Dan for the last 2 days and I've sold over 90 btc successfully and extremely quickly. I do understand that my feedback only means so much as a member who hasn't quite established himself here yet, but I am very actively involved with trading in the Bay Area, CA and have had a great experience with Bitcoin-Brokers.

Thanks very much.
