Hi,
there are probably as many threads on how to get BTC as there are BTC but there are also as many opinions as there are answers.
I have previously exchanged Ukash and Paysafecard vouchers for bitcoins but when dealing in the high hundreds of EUR the loss amounts.
I have looked into Intersango but again the price for BTC is usually 20 cent higher than the market price.
Where can I get bitcoins closest to the market price in the EU, particularily Germany?
I have considered using drcashancarry after reading some positive feedback but today I learned that international cash transfers are prohibited since 2007.
Thanks a lot in advance!! :)

The problem is that there is no fixed market price, they trade at different rates on different exchanges.
I have used Intersango myself many times and been impressed with the service.

What I meant by "market price" is the price they offer at MtGox, etc.
I'm tired of paying the 10-25% commission. If I pay €800 it mean I only get BTC worth €600 - €720.
Is it safe to get BTC from "official" sites like MtGox, etc? If I tumble them through some instawallets before sending them to my SR wallet? Or is there a way to not loose money using prepaid voucher like payafecards or ukash?

Here's what I do:
Dwolla -> Bitinstant -> CryptoXchange -> Instawallet -> Bitcoinfog -> SR
Bitcoinfog is a mixer. It puts your Bitcoins along with others into a big pot. It then moves them around in different denominations and then moves them in different amounts into your specified account. The whole process with Bitcoinfog takes about six hours with very little cost. It's supposed to make it next to impossible to track your bitcoins. The only real drawback is the amount of time that it takes. You can also specify that it take longer (which is supposed to be even more secure).
