Coinbase is charging $412 plus 1% for coins right now, while Bitstamp is 299 and bitfinex is 308, give me a brake. 4% plus fees, why is that. I lost so much already on my last buy and sell and now have to get screwed here, I think now is a good entry point but why charge so much more? With plenty of Bitcoins available like the 16,000 coins for sale on Bitstamp, why rape your customers?
Coinbase is a business and its purpose is to maximize profit. Don't like their prices? Get your coins somewhere else.
