I'm definitely biased, but CoinRnr.com has some of the fastest delivery speeds around (most orders processed within 15 minutes). We are US based and are accepting cash deposits to Bank of America and Wells Fargo at this time. Looking to add other banks as well as payment options shortly. You can also sell your coins to us and receive bank transfers (US only).

Our bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/deleted-426068.

What % is your buy-sell spread?

Our priced aren't fixed on a particular exchange and instead on our own supply/demand so they vary over time. On average our buy price (including fees, if there are any) is 3-7% above bitstamp's price and our sell price 1-3%.

For the benefit of anyone reading this thread who might be in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, speedybitcoin.co.uk seems to offer pretty decent service. A user in the UK can transfer directly to their account and a couple of hours later, presto -- BTC arrives safely.

localbitcoins would be the quickest most likely if youre in the US, coinbase is much more convenient but will take a few days

Localbitcoins.com can be the fastest. You can buy face-to-face with cash or make a cash bank deposit and have bitcoins in an hour (potentially).

+1 or bank transfer if you both use same bank in acouple of hours

getcoincafe.com looks good and quick, but the price is *not* equivalent to bitstamp. Currently bitstamp is $790 and coin cafe $843.

I forgot to mention the most obvious option. You can ask someone you know to sell you a bitcoin. That is how I got started initially. I just handed him cash, and he sent me bitcoins immediately. Nice and easy..

yep, buy btc from friends, if you dont know anyone with bitcoin, become that guy. become that guy by buying asap from any of the options listed above. personally I like coinbase, its easy for me. Id prefer to use a exchange i can set bids at and scoop low prices on dips but I honestly feel a coin bought today, is a coin I'll be happy to have bought a year from now, and as such i dont mind paying a little more then the minimum possible, to avoid missing a chance should the price take off while im waiting for a dip.

Yeah that is a pretty big price difference, but I guess if you are looking for immediate bitcoins, you have to be anticipating or willing to pay a slight premium, otherwise you would just wait it out at coinbase or one of the other exchanges..

Yes it's not too bad.
The best part is I can buy right from my card instead of all the wire transfers and trying to find a bank up here in the boonies for deposits and such.

Very true.
Coinbase finally got set ok so monday I can do instant buys. Very frustrating to have to wait so long.
Still it could be worse I suppose.
I am definitely going to get setup with some other exchanges so I don't have to be stuck anymore.

We don't have any of their big banks up here. Closest too far away.

cashintocoins.com is easy to work with. deposit cash into big-name bank. get coins in est. 24 hours.

You could be verified, deposited money, and obtained bitcoins at bitstamp in a week.

What does a coin cost at coinbase?

OK, so going on bitstamp prices. That is ok then.

There have been several threads about this in the past, but Coinbase uses Bitstamp as their exchange since they don't own one. So you'll see their buy/sell prices track those at Bitstamp. Generally off a few dollars though because Coinbase takes a bid off the spread in their words "to reduce risk". Ie, they want more fees. Wink

Apologies, but since I'm not in the US and can't access Coinbase, just trying to get more info.

Bitsimple is not available to NY residents that sucks.

Yes, NY, CA, and I think VA. The US is strange where you need each states approval for any sort of "banking related" business. NY is one of the tougher states to get approved in for anything, banking, securities, insurance etc.
