Since Football ended I made many bitcoin withdrawals to my blockchain account and then to circle. I have been doing the maximum withdrawal circle allows every 7 days but I am worried circle could close my account if I keep doing this for a few more months. I don’t really like coinbase because of their 1% fee and low conversion price.
I just checked and circle shows I can sell bitcoins at 1btc=$445. I checked local bitcoins and see some offers like 1btc=$1000 for ebay gift card and 1btc=$750 for amazon gift and 1btc=$700 for prepaid debit cards. These offers seem too good to be true. Is there a catch? Anyone use local bitcoins and have any advice?
Local Bitcoins other methods like p2p transfers and quickpay transactions and cashier checks and cash by mail seem to have rates like 1btc=$425.
I do prefer to get straight cash for my bitcoins and if I can get a rate that is only about 3% worse than circle ($13) then that would interest me. Any suggestions?
