I saw the price on Coinbase at $118, then refreshed the page and it went back to $102.

Ok so it was an error for 2 seconds.  It does not mean "a deal was cut." We all know that the Gox price is absolutely incorrect, and no service is using it for pricing.

coinbase is now the same price as mt gox..... btce & bitstamp have the only cheaper Bitcoin left

Thats a Lie.

Current Coinbase Buy Price $102.46   Sell Price $102.07


looks like your dream of a large spread might soon be over zerocock Wink

No, its a malfunction in Coinbase's pricing.  Bips, Bitpay, Blockchain still don't use Gox. And I still don't see that when I go to Coinbase's site.

Verified here - was higher and then dropped again. Someone claimed to have used the service at the higher price over on Reddit.

So, has a deal been done or was this an admin mistake?

A deal must have been made, yeah. Perhaps this is how Mt Gox are going to deal with their issues.

There are huge problems getting USD for that matter other fiat currencies EUR, CAD etc. out of MTGox so those who have USD, EUR, CAD etc trapped in MTGox are willing to pay a premium in order to get the money out in the form of BTC.

I wouldn't even take my BTC out from GOX, please look at my current situation.

MtGox's is worth less as they can't be withdrawn. Thus the coins seems to worth more on MtGox

Thank you for your responses.

So now that the Mtgox price can't be considered anything resembling the 'real' value of Bitcoin, what (in your opinion) is the most reliable exchange price to use? Something that I can track on bitcoincharts.com ?

Any of the various other popular exchanges are fairly close in price.

Today I decided that MtGox was no longer even worth watching. So I have set my fav window into the real market value of Bitcoin like this:
