localbitcoins. It's like craigslist: you find people you meet up with, give them cash, they transfer you the BTC (through escrow). No KYC, no shenanigans, you just need to be willing to pay their few-percentage-point fees.

Incorrect, localbitcoins only requires KYC for their escrow feature. Most people do not use the useless escrow feature.
