<p>Firstly, I acknowledge that there is no official bitcoin price and it is market determined, but I have seen various websites quote the current price of bitcoin and so on.</p>

<p>In the past my bitcoin wallet told me the price of a coin making reference to MtGox's index.</p>

<p>Now that MtGox is gone, what are the most reliable resources to obtain both present and past bitcoin prices?</p>

<p>Or are there some credible exchanges that I can use as a reference to compare less credible sellers with?</p>

Now that MtGox is gone, what are the most reliable resources to obtain both present and past bitcoin prices?

I think one of the most accurate is the [coindesk bitcoin price index](http://www.coindesk.com/price/).
It is a mean volume weighted between major exchanges.

It isn't volume weighted, it's a simple average. For more information read [source](http://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin-price-index/)
