I was having problems today trying to sell. It was like back in the old days. I got a message saying they researched their limit and I had to wait 24 hours to try and sell

I'm surprised.  I would think they have plenty of money right now and no coins.

Well they've been canceling my orders to buy Bitcoins...

Maybe they just have low liquidity in general.

All of mine (around $200/BTC days) have gone through so far.  The last one hit my bank credit union today so I think it's still on target.

Damn, in that case I just have bad luck. I got mine for sub-$200 though Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy (although maybe I won't if they cancel it ~.~)

ACH transfers post the next business day, the delay is so Coinbase can hedge their client's orders or try to match them inside their order book.

Cheers...

I can sell on Coinbase for $251+.

It feels like there is a good potential to arb between Coinbase and Bitstamp. Do you know if Coinbase's sells take 7 days to confirm like their buys?

Yeah, because US banks suck.

i would bet anything that coinbase, since they are a market maker, are buying for a cheaper source (BTC-E maybe) and selling at the GOX + price. They certainly have the capability and it makes perfect sense.

Their blog post (can't find it now) says that they try to get coins from Bitstamp and BTC-e but if they can't get enough they will go to Mt. Gox.  Apparently they are doing that right now.

But then they're buying at Gox + price. Presumably they float the price between various exchanges depending on buy/sell demand on their platform. Now the really weird bit is that they're actually the highest, which shows LOTS of the buy demand is on them, which sort of implies lots of new money is going into Bitcoin.

localbitcoins price is substantially higher than mtgox as well.
Anyone who is using formulas similar to the ones I published in the Spring has their prices set up to anticipate future increases:

Here's one of my pricing formulas:

Code:
max(max(max(mtgoxUSD,bitstampUSD), USD_24h),USD_24h+(1.5*(max(bitstampUSD,mtgoxUSD)-USD_24h)))*1.06

Derivation:

They better not have any fucking problems. Let alone be hacked. I'll be the first one pounding on their office doors.

I sold 10 BTC last Tuesday on Coinbase and the system gave me a completion date of Nov 1st...

As of today, still no money in my account.

Cheers,
