I've gone through BTCKING for 2 orders now both ranging above 2 grand. Usually sends me to 3-4 Chase banks to make cash deposits and I have my coins within an hour from depositing them. Dude's the real deal for sure.

I believe he said he has several banks, but what with the downfall of Tradehill and the hassles I've had with other btc providers, and what I've read about get-bitcoin.com, I decided to take a chance on the inhouse btc providers where one should be extremely careful as we've had some serious predatory ripoff artists in the past.

I went with btcKing, and the whole transaction couldn't have taken over 1/2 an hour, and he used Chase.  No problems, and very Helpful...

I will probably eventually go with something like cryptoxchange + bitinstant tho I want to at least give sugar mama a try also, as I was kind of hard on her when she first started, as we'd just come out from under some miserable rips in this area, but she was good, and survived, and seems to have done well...many of us are just extremely wary when it comes to btc sellers on here, as there in no protection...but after all the hassle I went thru with TradeHill, I realize there isn't much protection 'outside' either....btc is still a weak area...anyway, good luck, btcKing did me right...

I used him. Went to chase. PM'd him and had BTC in less than one hour.

A tad pricey, but the convenience was worth it if you need quick BTC.

I used him when I first got on SR because as everyone knows, it's not easy getting bitcoins when all this is so new.
I knew how to get bitcoins through the one site that excepts bank deposits and gives you an MtGox code (or whatever site you are depositing) to deposit your bitcoins on MtGox but that took some time and MtGox kind of screwed me over the first time I used them. I went to withdraw my money for the first time and they froze my account until I verified it with photo ID. I e-mailed them ID and it still took them a week before they released my funds... So I was weary of them after that.

still trying to find a decent way to get bitcoins, I saw the sellers on SR who offered a very quick way to get bitcoins in your SR account so you can finally purchase something and decided to try them out. BTCKing answered my p.m.'s quick and seemed to be available often so I asked him how many bitcoins I could get for a certain amount of cash and he gave me a really decent price dependent on the actual market prices.

I did this a couple times on SR but it was purely for the convenience of getting bitcoins extremely quick. As fast as they are is enough for me to justify the extra cost but I was determined to find a more permanent solution that didn't make me spend anything extra. I'm not rich so every penny counts.
Now I just trade on IRC and it's much much cheaper. Plus it's just as fast, if not faster than buying from an SR seller. It just takes some patience to actually register and authorize yourself on the trading channel but it's worth it.

I still think the SR vendors that sell bitcoins are awesome to have around when you need quick bitcoins and I hope they stick around. Especially helpful when you're new!

BofA, Chase,
Cash Transactions at the drive-thru teller.

No ID needed.  Transfer of BTC almost instantly.  Excellent Vendor!
