I read you have to have your Dwolla linked to your bank account for over a month to use CampBX. I just set up my Dwolla to bank over the weekend and verified. I want to buy a bitcoin or two for fun. Any ideas?

Not true - I had my Dwolla account for less than that before I transferred a bunch of money to CampBX - note that unverified accounts on CBX have a maximum daily transfer limit of $1k

Also, if you're interested in grabbing a bitcoin or two, I'll do it for a fellow HN'er for no markup. E-mail me at hi.im.edward [at] gmail for more info.

Edit: Just realized there's no PM feature on the site - email me :)

I've only ever used BitInstant, granted, it was back a few months ago when you could buy several for under $100, but the convenience of paying in cash at WalMart was pretty cool.

My MTGox account ended up being funded quickly as well. I'd definitely recommend them.

I found bitinstant worked well for funding my mtgox account.

That's a recent development, though not one that's going to go away I'm afraid.

# Person to person exchange? Or

# MoneyGram -> Bitinstant (fees! ~6% plus a trip to a store).

# CampBX will take a personal check! Also USPS money orders or see: https://campbx.com/faq.php#fund-transfers
