And the award for the largest screen shot in the history of the forums goes to Sensual Casanova :) She's right, I sold some earlier and it was $41/10k, aka $4.10/1000.

Just as correction: I sell 10k, 25k and 50k blocks. Selling price range between 4.36 and 4.49 per 1000 L$ depending on block size :-)

I pay 4.10$ per 1000 L$ if you sell to me, but only buy 100k or more, not buying small quantity. Just updated buying price on website :-)

Remember, you have to include hidden fees and the like. GOM has hidden fees that must be taken into consideration. There is a built-in 2.9% + US$0.30 cost for each block of US$ cash added to your account (buying L$), and a US$0.12 per block cost when selling(selling L$, price will be lower if you sell large amounts).

So GOM costs not US$20.20 to buy L$5000, it can cost up to US$21.11. (Being US$4.22 per L$1000 by your scale).

GOM also only pays not US$20.05, but US$19.45 after US$0.60 in Fees (US$0.12 per block).

Hank Ramos, Anshe Chung, and IGE do not charge extra fees. The price you see is the price you pay. I think GOM is great, but there is room for other services that are easier to use than GOM. GOM is a market, for those who like to play such things. The others are services, who try to make the purchase and sale of L$ easy.

So the recalculated comparison is...
==================================
Selling(People buying L$): GOM is US$4.22/L$1K, Hank Ramos is US$4.32/L$1K, Anshe Chung is L$4.50/L$1K, and IGE is US$5.10/L$1K
==================================
Buying(Service buying L$): GOM is US$3.89/L$1K, Hank Ramos doesn't buy L$ yet, Anshe Chung is US$4.10/L$1K, and IGE is US$4.00-US$4.10/L$1K(Service is currently down, so probably a mistake)
==================================

Here is a L$ Exchange service comparision table I whipped up...
http://www.hankramos.com/compare.html
...to show the difference between the services.

They disabled it from their main page, but if I goto the direct link you are showing (https://www.ige.com/ssl/sellcurrency.aspx?lang=en) it appears to work. I suspect they tried to shut the service down, but seem to have it running in the background. I'd guess they will reverse the orders, but who knows. I'm not IGE :)

I envisioned some sort of LL uprising, perhaps a Stalin-style purge of the feeted innards (come on Andrew, Phillip--you know they're too close to be trusted. And I've seen certain Liasons organizing paramilitary training camps for the newbs).
