Look for Bitcoin meetups in your area on meetup.com (lame), the Orange Pill App, and Flockstr. Simply ask, in person, at the meetup if anyone is buying or selling. Generally, spot price is accepted. If there is not a meetup in your area, START ONE! You may end up sitting at an empty table the fist few months, but it will grow. Once a month on a Tuesday (first Tuesdays or whatever) is pretty common for Bitcoin meetups. Pro Tip: pick a place that serves beer - Our meetup doubled in size once it moved to place with beer & burgers. :-P

I think there are a lot of bitcoiners out there... who would probably prefer not to go to bitcoin meetups out of privacy concerns. Going to a bitcoin convention is different with lots of people... but a few people at a meetup honestly doesn't sound like a great idea i don't know.

All the more reason to go to a meetup. No KYC and you don't even need to tell anyone your real name - Many use a nym at meetups. Also very fun to talk in person with other like minded individuals - Talk about Bitcoin, just don't talk about YOUR Bitcoin. ;-)

Been doing it for years, never had any trouble. Just stay in the public setting with the group, It's easier than you would expect. ... but maybe your risk factor is different in your area.
