bitcoins

Hi,

Looking to buy some bitcoins and i wondered where the best place to buy them from would be, alternatively if anyone has any for sale pm me

Are you looking to invest or just make a purchase? If investing then make sure you do some research first as I read that they can be tricky to offload when you want to cash them in, not sure how true that is. Also the traditional money markets have been rumoured to be trying to undermine the currency, this was demonstrated by the hacks a couple of years back and the resulting crash in value.

no i am just looking to buy them to make a purchase

The two most common UK places are:

http://www.localbitcoins.com
http://www.bitbargain.co.uk

With both of these, the sellers coins are held in escrow before the trade so there is far less chance of being ripped off. If a seller doesn't pay then you can show your payment details to support and they will sort it for you.
