Let me make this clear that I don't post on forums about any of my successful transactions between vendors. I feel as though my feedback and rating is enough. This is a very special case and you all need to recognize:
I don't understand why anyone would waste time and risk their anonymity to transfer funds with MtGox, TradeHill, etc. BTC Buddy on SR will take your MoneyPak card and turn it into BTC on your SR account. MoneyPak can be bought with cash or debit (from practically anywhere. search it up at moneypak.com) and if you're using cash, there's nothing to tie the transfer of funds to you. All of the Mtgox, TR, etc services will require a wire transfer or by some other medium to get your currency to BTC. I'm more than positive this is far more traceable than going through BTC Buddy. You might think I'm too paranoid, but I think with the SR market you really can't be too careful. BTC Buddy went above and beyond my expectations and time restraints, gave the fastest correspondence I've ever had on SR, and was able to provide a level of professionalism unparalleled to any online purchase I've ever made (TOR and WWW alike).
As long as BTC Buddy provides this service, I will use him and no other for BTC. You all should do the same. Read his profile, look at the ratings and feedback. His business speaks for itself. You can't do any better than that.
Thank you for your time.

"Most anonymous" -- well, I would think it a little more anonymous if BTCbuddy started using PGP. He was going to be my first choice for BTC vendor, but I opted to use Sugar Mama instead because she uses PGP. She did me right! Food for thought.

With BTC Buddy, you're basically paying 21% more for your goods on SR ($4.25 for $3.52 coin). With Sugar Mama, you're paying 19% more ($4.20 for $3.52 coin).
I guess that's fine if the speed is worth that much to you (you've still got to buy the product and wait for it to come in the mail). And you never know when a BTC vendor will run off (and possibly come back and start all over again).

I appreciate his service. He's super fast in getting you btc and responding to messages. So easy with a mp. BTC Buddy is the best!

The only problem I have with the vendors who sell BTC on SR is their percentage rate is too high......
-
The exchangers can be good and they are definitely more anonymous than the trade sites but they are all risky. I usually trade with a seller I know well since that seller wants cash and I want bitcoins it works out great for both of us and there is no fee paid by me.
-
On site exchanges are expensive, but usually very fast and easy. BTC Buddy and Sugar Mama are the only 2 I've used who are still around. There are a couple other legit traders, but remember any of them could turn scammer at any time (remember SYG, Borneo gone too). So understand the risk you take. Don't send more than you can afford to lose. Split up large transactions or use the offsite exchanges.
