HELP!!!
Really need to make a purchase. Ughhhhhhh...... I miss BitInstant!!!
I need a place super simple and super fast.

Local bitcoins dude. Find one that does bank deposits. Super quick
-
I use MoneyPakTrader.com. He's also a vendor here if you prefer to deal with through SR. Pretty simple and quick to just buy a MoneyPak. Only downside is that his rates are crazy high, especially if you're dealing in small increments. Guess with BitInstant gone people can get away with charging so much.

i would use moneypaktrader in a heart beat if his cost wasent so high.
what is it like 20%?
thats NUTS.

Local bitcoins seems good. super easy to sign up, no photo id's etc needed to buy coins. I haven't bought any from there yet but seems like the best place to buy imo. good rates too. about £80 per coin.

It's as high as 50% if you're doing anything under $100. 40% for over $100, 30% for more than $200.01 and so on... Yeah, pretty crazy, but I guess you're paying for the convenience. Anyone know of anyone reliable that takes Green Dots at a better rate?

Try localbitcoins.com. You get the BTC only after the seller receives the money on his account. With SEPA it can take 2 days max.

I got to say, as unbelievable as it may sound, getting the damn bitcoins is a bigger hassle than buying stuff off of the road (which has been an great experience thus far). Pretty sad that we have a wonderful decent community here (for the most part obviously) that I trust more than the supposedly legitimate companies I get bitcoins from. I was using an exchange here in the US that seemed to be pretty stress free, but just this week they no longer accept deposits (have no idea why). Every where else I look (localbitcoins, mt gox etc.) have ridiculous prices (140 +), the exchange I was getting them on were around 125. Sadly the hassle of getting bitcoins may limit me enjoyment of the road.
