Hello everyone. I've been trying to order some bitcoins from BTCBuddy, but all of his listings have a .10 $ usd price on them, so when I add them to the card and try and order my bitcoins, I'm unable to as it says I have insufficient funds. I'm new to the SR and don't see how it's possible for me to order bitcoins that cost bitcoins, whilst I have no bitcoins. Any help would be appreciated. I'm also waiting for a reply from BTCBuddy to see if he can help me, but I'd like to place the order soon. Any help you can offer is great, thanks alot.

I never saw that. I used BTCKing with much success more than once. Also, BTCBuddy with no space before Buddy, like BTC Buddy is a scam, he got me for $50
The real BTC Buddy has a space in his name.

Yes that is a paradox. If I were you, I wouldn't order bitcoins from SR, at least not the first time you acquire bc (which I assume it must be, since you don't have any)
I'd probably suggest reading this thread: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=15383.0 if you havn't already. There's a section in there about how to get bitcoins through Mt. Gox. However, he says that he used a library computer for accessing/creating an Mt. Gox account, but I wouldn't do that. If I had a laptop, I'd probably try to find a wireless network somewhere without a password and use that.
Note that there really is 100% secure way to anonymously get bitcoins, but the way described in the previously mentioned post is a good compromise in terms of exchange fees/anonymity/speed and ease of getting bitcoins.

BTCKing has never done me wrong, but hes US only. If you need the .10 PM me and I might be able to help you.
