I noticed some exchanges for virtual goods and ingame currencies popping up or accepting bitcoin, like
How are they doing? Any one with use experience here? Any numbers on turn around, number of trades, user base, etc?

Its going slowly but surely, about 35% of my orders are paid with using bitcoin. I have actually had 1 customer google on how to buy guildwars 2 gold with SMS, he found blockchain.info to buy bitcoins via sms then paid on my site via bitcoin for his gold.
The only thing is alot of my customer base wants to use paypal or credit cards, and of course we all know virtual goods and paypal don't provide much protection. The only issue I see is the difficulty for your average person to easily and quickly acquire bitcoins from the luxury of his house.
