Or £42 for £51. Other than that it's really good and simple.
I'm not sure why you saw such a price difference - the margin is currently around 8%. We still need to semi-manually check things so it's not as low as it should be.

It could be a strange situation where gox had something like 0.01 BTC available at a low price with a significant price jump until you could buy at least a few BTC. Bittylicious bases its prices on the 'real' cost of buying a couple of BTC.

I'm glad most of you are having a good experience with Bittylicious.

I've brought down the margins a bit now that we're trading semi-automatically. They're still higher than normal, but that will go down soon.

It's because we're doing manual trading at the moment which requires a lot more manpower than automated trading. We hope to return things to normal soon, but we're not sure if it'll be today or not.

Ok thanks for the reply

How come the markup has jumped from around 3% to around 18% above mtgox?

My site, Bittylicious, was just released to the public which allows users to buy Bitcoins in return for UK bank transfers (Faster Payments, i.e. regular bank transfers for most people). It's not a marketplace, so users can't register as sellers; it's really just a simple service to send Bitcoins once money has been deposited.

Margins are minimal in order to get the word out, so it's a good place to get some cheap Bitcoins. There's a limit to how many you can buy (0.5 BTC for unregistered users, 1 BTC for registered) but this value goes up the longer you have an account.

Visit http://www.bittylicious.com/ to buy. For comparison, the current rate is £69.43.

Feedback, constructive criticism etc. all welcome.

just used your service 3 times so far XD very good and much cheaper than anything out there a feature i would love to see is being able to pay the transaction fee as 1 of my orders has taken over an hour the que just gets longer and longer XD, other than that its probably the bet place to buy bitcoin in the uk and could quite possible be the best place to buy bitcoins anywhere in the world, the whole thing is much less stress than dealing with any other service out there

i would be interested in knowing how you get bitcoins in the first place do you buy them in bulk or mine them??? just curiosity more than anything

Just made a test 0.5 BTC purchase - the whole thing took 5 mins for the coins to arrive in my wallet - I didn't bother registering this time, just entered email address and wallet address - this looks good for UK coin buyers - the rate I paid was 1 BTC = 61.2 GBP when MTGox was showing 1 BTC = 59.1 GBP

So hardly any mark up over gox - thanks!

Just bought 2BTC. Took about an hour and a half from start to finish.

Was a little worried as the site had no escrow, but the BTC came through so I'm happy.

Spoke to the Admin before I started and the were friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the service if you're a UK resident as it is a pain to try and buy BTC here.

Bought BTC0.5 last night, instant delivery - took maybe 10 seconds to verify?

This is exactly what has been needed in the UK for far too long, highly recommended !

We've just added a few more features, the most important one being phone verification. This, in reality, means that the maximum amount of Bitcoins you can buy has now doubled.

Current price on Bittylicious is a bargainous £68.89 per BTC.
