BTC-e or Bitstamp, they are pretty stable exchanges
ick, I'd say you'd want to look at reloadable card options.
VirWox, I only buy them when I want to buy steam wallet codes because adding a new prepaid credit card to steam locks me out of the market for a week.
I'm paying close to $40 CAD for $20 worth of BTC but I don't mind.
(4$ prepaid card activation fee, paypal fee, virwox fee cad -> usd -> sll -> BTC rates)
Only problem with VirWox is that they occasionally make me wait up to 48 hours for my btc, still better than waiting a week for Steam.

When I bought BTCs in 2013 January, I used localbitcoins.com. But paid a 20% premium.
localbitcoins is the best IMO. It is fast and easy

You should avoid untrusted websites and sellers.
I got scammed for a couple of btc
The easiest way is localbitcoins or a safe exchange (like bitstamp).
yup. bitstamp is the way to go. it is not only safe, but it is also one of the largest ripple gateways out there.
i think ripple might interest some of you, it's more than just a 'coin', it's a complete payment system with an exchange built in. you can trade both fiat currency and cryptos in ripple.
anyway, to learn more about it, read here: http://coinjoint.info/ripple-might-want-pay-attention/ and there are intros and guides here: https://xrptalk.org/forum/61-faq-and-guides/
We sell physical coins and cards for collectors. Our cards are popular as they are 'offline' and can't be hacked or frozen like mtgox. We were listed on Casascius website before he paused production but we have a good selection. Our site is www.SimplyBTC.co.uk and one of the few UK sites selling physical coins.
bitstamp mostly, can recommend
There are tons of ways how you can buy bitcoin. I mostly buy mine at BTC-e, but I multiply it by playing in a bitcoin casino and faucet websites. Just a friendly reminder, always be careful when buying BTC because there are scammers everywhere especially if you are buying from unknown individual BTC seller.
I will prefer in person but open to online exchangers in several forums.
I have been using localbitcoins for a while, and everything work perfectly.
Agree, it is the most safest and the best option most especially when buying big amount of bitcoins to a trusted seller near your area.

Since I am living in South Asia, the only reliable source is localbitcoins.com
I would trust only Coinbase and Bitstamp.
And what about localbitcoins? Get a friend to buy from a bitcoin ATM for you and pay him back by cheque.
I think it would be useful if somebody posts a link to an updated map of ATMs. Ideally also with the ones that are to be installed (at least a list of cities) in the near future.

localbitcoin and some of free seller in forum, using escrow for sure
As everyone has mentioned local bitcoins is great as well as bitstamp and coinbase. You might also want to try to see if theres any meet ups in your area that are bitcoin related however due be careful and make sure you get at least 6 confirmations of the transaction before letting them leave with your cash.
