I read a lot of the forums here and im thinking the way I want to go is:
Buy Locally (cash to dude in coffee shop) >> he Xfers to my local wallet (bring a laptop running bitcoin with an updated chain) >> I xfer to SR
Seems the best option - watch him do the xfer on his laptop and watch for update. Seems this way I wont pay fees and shouldnt be able to loose my bitcoin in the xfer. Any thoughts on this approach? Typical delays? Red flags to watch for?
If any1 can help me I cant wait 2 make my first purchase - after doing lots of research... thanks! SR rocks!

Check in the Money section and you will see listings for Moneypaks and or Bitcoins. Go to your nearest store and purchase a MoneyPak card for XXX of dollars. Then the vendor that has the listing up will ask you for the numbers on the back of the MoneyPak. After they get whatever money you have put on the card they will deposit bitcoins into your account.... Good luck there dude... And of course your way will work just fine also...
