Love the site, love the products on here, but everything just seems so damn expensive.
The cheapest rate for 1 BTC I can find is usually around £8
Can anyone better this? Or know a site where cheaper coins are available?
Failing that, does everyone wanna lower their weed prices a bit? :D

if you can get Btc for 8 quid each mate go for it. thats a fair price.
as for the weed, all uk customers on SR are crying out for bulk weed.

Hmm, blockchain.info offer instant btc for bank transfer but it's expensive. Legit though.
Or you can try finding a guy and bargaining.

The price is the price. BTC price is an exchange rate 1BTC = 8 Pounds(or so, depending where you go).
'Official', or most prevalent exchange rate is the mtgox rate www.mtgox.com & you won't get anything cheaper than this, at least not consistently.
That said BTC price is very volatile, it will go up and down over time, though its more likely to go up. When it does go up though prices here in BTC go down as many vendors peg their rate to the USD.
That could theoretically lead to some odd prices for UK purchasers as BTC prices will vary according to USD/BTC rate but USD/GBP rate won't necessarily change in the same way.
