Yes, it's a joke, but hopefully the joke won't be on anybody with half a brain, the sheeple will of course go to the slaughter as usual :-)

That site looks horrible. Here is what it says:
To buy XRP, please send bitcoins to the following address:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You Send At Least You Get
0.6 BTC 3000 XRP
1.65 BTC 10000 XRP
4.95 BTC 30000 XRP
I am paying 1 BTC for 39000 XRP:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/buying-ripple-xrp-btc-1-btc-for-25000-xrp-176060
so this guy is basically paying like 600% less than me. Something like that. His rates are just a joke.

For people in this forum that site is probably a waste of time, just trade inside ripple.com/client itself or do private transactions with bitstmap.net
xrptrader is for the ignorant masses who'll flock to Ripple eventually, think of it as a tax on people who can't figure out how to run regular ripple.com client and how to grant trust to a gateway.

This looks interesting but will wait to see if it gets more positive comments.

UPDATE: They refunded my bitcoin and I've had four transactions go through just fine.

On their site, they ask you to register and agree to their terms of service, even though there's not a link anywhere to their terms of service!
That seems sketchy.

Xrptrader to me appears to be at best a Mickey Mouse job and at worst a scam.
Stay away until proven otherwise

Bad communication, won't return my 1 bitcoin I sent despite numerous attempts to contact.

Where can I obtain an "Offer code"?
No idea, the site was demo'ed at today's ripple meetup, that's how I found out about it going live, presumably it's gonna make it "easy" to buy / sell XRPs (as opposed to doing it the hard way by creating a gateway account and withdrawing IOUs into Ripple to trade inside ripple directly).
