I figured this out. I am using bitstamp to fund the account using bitcoin. I found out they have a gateway with Ripple.

I am waiting for the TT to post on my account. I tell bitstamp how many bitcoins I want to send to Ripple,

Then as I understand it I have to grant the gateway a trust limit to receive the Bitcoins in Ripple.

However I am new to Ripple so everything I say could be wrong.

Market price? I have no clue. But I will take any Ripples for free, no limit.
