Bitinstant.com (cash deposits are down till Monday though)
And sign up for mtgox.com
Go to bitinstant.com
Select local cash deposit to mtgox
Fill out the info  click next
Next page print or screenshot you will need it if deposit gets lost
Click next
Put in your zipcode
Pick a moneygram location
Then print the payment slip
Go to store give them slip and cash
Money will be in your mtgox account under an hour usually under 5 minutes

Once the money is in your mtgox account you can buy and sell bitcoins you can even bid to try to get a better price

Things to know-
Bitinstant charges $4 plus 4% of whatever you deposit

Regarding anonymity, when I'm on mtgox, should I refrain from bank transfers?

Am I more safe using bitinstant?

Another option here is bitcoin-otc

It's basically a chatroom dedicated to buying/selling btc, but with a bulit-in user feedback system.

wallet to SR is easy.  bitinstant works well.
depending how much you intend to buy/sell - linking a bank account with coinbase.com is super easy.
multibit has a great wallet. bitcoinity.org/markets is the best site to track BTc price/value.

Simply buy your Bitcoins at www.Bitcoin-Brokers.org

Pay at MoneyGram with NO ID.

Bitcoins are sold for 2% BELOW MtGox...cheaper than Bitinstant.

Available in every country as compared to Bitinstant which is basically just for the USA.

Additionally you can sell your Bitcoins back to Bitcoin-Brokers for a cash pick up at MoneyGram without needing to show ID...totally anonymous.

- localbitcoins.com is awesome and gives you lots of options from cash in hand to online payments plus immediate access to bitcoins
- mtgox.com (based in Tokyo) is the original bitcoin exchange and you can transfer funds to them thru internet banking or wire transfer, but it can take up to 48 hours for an international deposit.
- virwox.com has a credit card/paypal to bitcoin option with ridiculously low fees but you might have to first convert your USD/EUR to Lindens (Second Life), then Lindens to BTC, and then you can send them to a bitcoin address.  But don't hold your breath and you are limited to approx $80 of transactions every 24 hours as a new user.
Most of the other online services charge commissions of 5%-10%

If you buy this route do you purchase bitcions through www.Bitcoin-Brokers.org then  then walk into MoneyGram and tell them you want to deposit money into Bitcoin-brokers account?

Can you detail a bit more, i'm new and it seems there is a lot of info to follow to stay anonymous
Thanks

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE MAN ITS A SCAM SCAM SCAM

If you're in the US and you want <$400 use bitinstant. Keep in mind with this method you do have to put in your personal information, but bitcoins are legal and anonymous and they are untracable when you send them to your sr account, so no need to worry. Use the cash deposit -> btc address option.  When you do this you have to go to a cvs/walmart with a moneygram phone, pick that up, slap in all the info bitinstant gives you and you're good to go. the cvs employees are rather clueless so you have to tell them you're paying a bill, and the fee is 0 dollars.

*clearnet* https://www.bitinstant.com/

If you need >$400 Blue Sky Traders is the dopest fuckin service ever, you just email them with $$ amount and btc address, then they give you the info for an out of state bank of america deposit slip. shit is 100% anonymous and fast as fuck. Definitely the best way to cop btc ->
