I was trying to sell at $850 yesterday and couldn't find anything that wanted to work for me.

You couldn't sell on Coinbase?
What happened?
I was thinking to myself (when Gox hit $900), "This is going up way too fast. It hasn't even taken a breath today. This reminds me of $266 in April. Maybe I should sell the coins I have on Coinbase."
Checked the chart one more time and a nosedive with a sea of red.
Alt-Tabbed back to Coinbase and hit sell when the price was still $850. It didn't go through. Tried again and got halfway through and it told me the price had changed. Hit Confirm again and I finally got out at $733.
Bought back in at $525 after the crash. I rarely trade like this (never, actually), but I knew that I was catching this one. Still I turned 3 bitcoins into 4 for free.
Then they started their "Buy at market a week from now" nonsense. But since I had money ready to buy and any other option would take at least a week anyway, I went ahead and tried it. It appears that they have locked me at $525 already (not too unbelievable since it dipped below $500 for a while). But we'll see when they go to deliver on Monday.
