I have a few BTC I would like to 'cash out' into USD. I live in the United States, where and how is the easiest/safest way?

Coinbase or localbitcoins.  If you go with the latter, meet in a public place like a library or Starbucks courthouse or police station or other controlled building where civilian weapons are detected and removed.

What about BISTAMP.NET?

I'm not sure, I'm from Europe, but in any case it's a great site.

Use Coinbase.

Coinbase would be the best choice, just don't get scammed from some site like MtGox..

If you have enough in expenses that can be covered by using gift cards, you can convert your BTC into cards from either Gyft or eGifter and keep the cash. Safe AND easy.

So, localbitcoins and coinbase are the only viable options for U.S. residents at the moment?

What about btc-e? Seems like a good site.

Use Coinbase.

Depending on how much you need to convert to USD.  Coinbase has a daily buy/sell limit of 50btc at level 2 (highest), but it's also nearly immediate (normal 2-3day clearing w/ banking system).  I recent sells were credited to my bank account in 2-3 days. 

However, the downside is that they charge a 1% processing fee, and you can't hold any USD balances, so all sells/buys are direct withdraw/deposit to your linked bank account.

Easiest would be in this forum asking for buyer

Speaking of which, if you want to use this method, I'd be more than willing to buy, depending on how many BTC you're selling.

See the last link in my signature.

Also, you should move the thread to "currency exchange".
