Glasshouse is a vendor pretty sure he doesnt purchase btc's.
Yeah go to sugarmama's vendor profile page and read careful the details of doing currency exchanges with the vendor.

I haven't used buybitcoin.com but from what I've read I wouldn't use it. Quite a few claims of people getting scammed by them. Like glasshouse said, you can buy bitcoins from a reputable vendor on SR like Sugar Mama. That method is pretty simple, just purchase a MoneyPak from a store with cash, add a listing of bitcoins for moneypak, and put your moneypak number in your address section when checking out. May take a day or two to get your coins depending on how busy the vendor is (they can only process a limited dollar amount per day with moneypaks).
I prefer to do cash deposit at a bank branch, fees are generally lower than other methods and I get my coins within an hour or two. Lately I've been using bitcopia.com which lets me do up to $1K per day.
I certainly don't know every vendor and good business that sells bitcoins, I would recommend searching the vendor or business here on the forums and checking their feedback before sending anyone your money.

You can also go to the money section of the road and see the other BTC vendor options. Do your research and ask questions.

thanks glasshouse, nomad and ilovebees. :)

I used sugar mama for my first coin purchase. Everything went smooth, got my coins in 3 days (as the post says "For the Patient"). You must not be in a hurry when buying from them. It seems like the more you spend,the faster it gets to your account.The only thing that concerned me is they asked for my zip code. Would recommend them tho.

bitinstant is still my go to source for coinage
-
Nope never bought from them. I use bitinstant myself same as person above me? I would probably go with blueskytraders in second though I have never used they seem to have their shit together from what I hear.
There are you happy silk road I posted my worthless opinion just to improve my post count and said the same thing as the poster above thereby clogging up the forum with a worthless post and also wasting my time and your time by having to sift throught repetitive posts. Have a glorious day!
