I always figured the price was lower on BTC-E because its such a hassle to get USD onto the exchange. That difficulty raises the value of USD relative to BTC.
That would also explain why the price at GOX is higher than usual -- its hard to get USD out of there, so people are bidding up BTC because its easier to pull out.

just a theory....

Pretty sure you are exactly right here.

You are a geek if you are too early to the party!

Have you checked out BTC-e?

They are $10 cheaper for BTC!

The market is being played because its a nightmare to actually move coins around these exchanges! ;/

Capitalism is the crisis.

Having not traded any $, I might theorize that the reason has to do with bitstamp having more than a speck of integrity and fewer dollar hungry speculatorz. Somebody might elaborate on that.
