I find that when I try to speculate on price, I always lose.  So I just buy and sell at market price now.

there's usually a 0.1 USD spread or so going on. More often than not, placing a bid/ask and waiting for a bit works out just fine.

Only if I really want to sell/buy I take what the market offers.
I suppose I just find it not worth it with the amounts of BTC I am dealing with.  It'd be like $2 or something, and I didn't really care about trying to make that much, so I just buy or sell it immediately.

I place bids to buy, and dump at market! But, I'll usually set an ask up a ways from spot if I'm not really trying to sell, just to catch the occasional spike.

I don't do short-term speculation, but when I buy bitcoins I usually place my bids at the current best bid price. They usually get executed and that saves me 0.5% to 1% compared to market order.

For me the same, except for when I'm fishing for the bottom. It happened to me more that I got left behind in that situation..
