Be very careful obtaining bitcoins on SR!!!!!!!! There are all these fly-by-night bitcoin vendors on here that will take your money and leave! I just lost $500 to one of them (Willoblock)!
What they do is make their bitcoin ad that costs 0.0000 BTC and they will make a lot of fake reviews because they need no BTC. Beware it was not a good experience losing this much money and i don't want it to happen to anyone else.

Another tip is that you can pretty much tell who is legit and who isn't by how long they have been a member. If you look at the bitcoin vendors there are a lot of them that have only been a member for less than a month. They will also have a ton of reviews within only days.
