I'm wondering the same myself. I can't figure out if there's a way to buy it using a gift card or moneypak. I don't want to link it to my identity and I don't want to pay with cash...

Coinbase is good. You could also just look for people in your area selling them for cash. check localbitcoins to find some. You can use a credit card for some sellers, but very few will actually take them.
There's a lot of options, but those are the most popular (and most reliable).

Can't you buy them through https://www.mtgox.com/ ?
And holy crap have they jumped up in value since a certain site got taken down.
From 109 at at lowest that day to now... 313.

Unsure how that works, but they seem to be the gold standard.

cashintocoins.com
Go to that website, then follow the 'how to' steps (it's easy). Then go to a Wells Fargo bank and deposit the amount you said you would deposit. Write certain info on the deposit receipt and then send a picture to the email provided.
His name is Will. I slightly screwed the process up (didn't write the transaction ID on the receipt), he emailed me asking me for it and then finished the deal. Took around 5 hours in total from time I deposited the money till the time I got them. I'd buy from him again. There are fees of course, but it was easy so idc.

I know right? I'm kicking myself for not buying every profitable stock ever when they were almost worthless. I could be a billionaire right now! What was I thinking?

This isn't too related to this thread. but what are the odds the government sells all of Ross Ulbricht's bitcoins?
I assume the price of bitcoins would plummet. Is it legally probable they'll do this?

They don't have access to his Bitcoins.

they apparently seized them. Atleast some.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/10/25/fbi-says-its-seized-20-million-in-bitcoins-from-ross-ulbricht-alleged-owner-of-silk-road/
and the link within that article actually answered my question.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2013/10/04/fbi-silk-road-bitcoin-seizure/
so the price may go down once the trial is over and they liquidate the coins. I don't know if it'll be any significant amount though.
