If you want to buy it straight up, it doesn't hurt to try the marketplace on the forums. I would buy it from an active member here though, in order to minimize risk against potential scammers.

I have customers that regularly amounts of money with me, however my profit is tiny because there are so many fees associated with the transactions (paypal 4+%). It was great when google checkout was free, and when personal transactions at paypal were free, but all of that is gone and I can't raise the rates on my merchandise.
All of my customers are internationally based, avg fam income is $500K a year, so they are willing to try anything if it doesn't monopolize their time or frustrate them. I know this because it took months to get 40% of them to try google checkout (to break away from paypal) a clear two years after the launch of google checkout.
If I recommend a site to buy coin at it must be solid, otherwise I risk losing them. It can't be 'go here, then go here, then come to me to buy stuff', I need a single stable and reliable resource for coin so that I could tell my customers to go there buy coin from him and used the coin to pay me.
