Why don't you use this forum? There are some traders here that trade for bitcoin and have a small fee for their work. You can choose the more reputable ones, but they might cost you more.
Yeah I was going to suggest this--we have a whole currency exchange section here that OP could avail himself of.

Also, I use Circle with no problems whatsoever.  If you're paranoid about anonymity, forget it, but they're reliable.

OP be careful if you decide to sell them on the forum.  Lots of scammers around, and don't take PayPal whatever you do.

have you tried yobit? I think you can sell easily there. just try to   see if you can sell at desired price I hope you succeed.

haha, you are suggesting him the worst exchange service of all times that has been available on the internet. and they don't even have credit card or bank transfer. and if you sell bitcoin for fiat to them in size of 2-3BTC as OP, you will never see a dime from them and the support never answers either.

I've used coinbase several times and never had a problem, but if they scammed you, then maybe you shouldn't use them. Consider selling them to someone you know that is into bitcoin or maybe sell to a trusted member of this forum.
He did say that he wasn't using them now. But you do have a point, anyways, have you heard about snapcard.io?

I should move away from coinbase as fast as I can. I have an account with them, stored some satoshis in their online wallet, they were recommended to me so I assumed they must be good Roll Eyes

Paxful is OK so far.  Found a trader who paid well, covered the PayPal fee, and had 1000+ positive transactions with zero negative.

No Bitcoin ATMs near me.

Coinbase scammed me years ago.  I confirmed all their bullshit, bought a few hundred dollars worth, the price skyrocketed, and suddenly I was "unsafe" - after the money was already in their account.  I ended up with zero BTC and waited days to get my money back.  Never again.

It's not the first complaint related to coinbase. I don't know if there's authenticity in it, but this is getting worrying.

I am in a position where I need to sell 3-4 BTC to handle some health issues.

It's impossible.

Coinbase is a fraud and I do not trust them with my bank information after they scammed me years ago.

Localbitcoins is not much better.  I bought several BTC on there last year and early this year.  Some idiot gave me the wrong name to send to, so I had to go back to Moneygram in person and change it for them.  After I left negative feedback, he labeled ME a "scammer."  I am on "forced holiday" now and have been for months, even though I've never attempted to do anything dishonest.

eBay is worse.  Sold .5 on there - to some scamming idiot who sent me a fake Illinois driver's license scan - it had a woman with a Louisiana address and listed her at 6'4", 245lbs.

Local Craigslist ad.  Waste of time.  No replies.

How the hell do I get MONEY for these?  It's worthless if you need cash fast. I've run an online business for over 10 years, have great eBay feedback, etc. 

US resident, veteran.

Not a scam artist.

I assume there must be some bitcoin atm near your location.Try and locate them or you can use this forun to find some reputable buyer.You can choose to sell 1 by 1 to prevent big loss in case a buyer didnt pay or scammed you

Have you tried Coinimal ? They offer really good payment options for you when selling bitcoin like Skrill and Paypal. However without the utility bill you will not go that far as they will limit you greatly and without being verified the maximum amount you can sell there is 50 USD per day.

Sounds like you have had a bellyfull already, hope you can find a good, safe and reliable service to offload the rest of your BTC.

You could try paxful.com,  there are many people there wiling to buy bitcoins for a range of payment methods as long as you make sure that you are trading with a trusted person you can get a great rate. Local bitcoins is similar to this.

KYC procedures are complete bullshit.

Just tried signing up with Gemini.  They want everything but a DNA sample.

Don't have a utility bill lying around (I try to pay my bills promptly) so can't scan one to sign up.

Next.

Overseas exchange with an international wire to cash out.
Seriously, you don't need to do that if you are resident of the US. There are many ways to sell/buy BTC in US if you want to do it legally and don't have problem with KYC procedures.

Here is a list for serious exchanges/services where you can buy and also sell BTC: https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/en/us/
