Sellers there charge way too much if you compare the prices to mtgox. There wasn't that much of a difference before but now it's just ridiculous.
(I assume mtgox show the real current value.)
I'd use mtgox, but I've read they ask for personal information which could result in compromised anonymity. How big the risk is?
Could you please recommend a place where the prices are a little more closer to the real value?
Preferably sites like mtgox where you can deposit by UKBT and have an instant transaction where you are not under some shady guy's mercy.

I used Bitfloor for my transaction. Relatively low fees. Very fast transfer into SR (about 1 hour after xfer from Bitfloor account)

It shouldn't really be a problem that MtGox has some personal information.
Once you have bought coins there just transfer through another wallet(s) that you only access using Tor before sending them on to SR (which tumbles them anyway to help your anonymity).

Recent transactions there are of a much more reasonable amount. And there seems to be an escrow system which would make me feel more safe.
But there is a 15 dollar fee for a wire transfer and it says it takes 1-2 days. And they deal with USD only, so there might be exchange fees.
Thanks for the recommendation though. I might consider it if I don't find any UK alternative.

Would that really be a sufficient way to hide that I'm sending my funds to SR? I need to make sure.

Makes me little hesitant to go with mtgox.
