Hi Felicia,
Getting money out of e-gold is MUCH easier than getting it in.
I have only ever used one exchanger, so I'm afraid my knowledge is rather confined to it, although I'm fairly sure that they are all similar and competitive.
I chose http://www.goldpouchexpress.com/ because they are Canadian (as am I) so I (hopefully) get a better exchange rate.
From your egold page you request a "spend" and enter the egold number of the third party exchanger, and how much you want to send them. The only fee for getting the cash in your hot little hand is either $5.00 for a cheque, or $10 for a bank transfer. (your bank may charge also for incoming transfer).
A notification is sent practically immediately that they have the funds from egold and are processing it. I have received a cheque then from GoldPouchExpress in as little as 5 days. I have not gone the wire transfer route.
They also have an option to get an ATM card, where they will deposit straight into the account associated with the ATM card and you can have access to it from any ATM machine in North America (maybe global, I'm not sure.) The cost of the ATM card is $59 a year and 2.5% of transfer. I have not used this option.
Hope that helps.
Bob
