Obviously not eBay...is it best to go through Mt. Gox or similar? Do the exchanges buy directly or do I transact with the buyer after making contact through the exchange?
The factors that matter to answer your question include:
- Where are you located (country)?
- How much are you looking to trade?
- What type of cash are you looking to receive?
- How soon do you need access to the proceeds?
- Is privacy important?
