Dealextreme to accept bitcoin?

[minorman]

For those who don't know dealextreme.com it's a big site selling all things geek I.e. perfectly matched tip the average bitcoin user ;-)

They are based in China (Hong Kong), which I think could work to our advantage. The sell things at quite competitive prices which means that they are giving away a very significant fraction of their markup to ccc/papal. I bet they are also suffering large chargeback losses.

They are quite "big" with more than one million daily site hits according to the wiki so if they do start accepting bitcoin, it would be a huge win for bitcoin.

Please consider visiting their site and writing to them about bitcoin. They even have a "suggestions"  tab where you can fill out with a bitcoin sales pitch.

If anyone is located near them physically (Hong Kong), it would be awesome with an in-person pitch!
Hint, hint Roger :-)

Here is some info on the site's stats:

Since the "suggestion" tab can be a bit hard to locate I've put the direct link here:

Please go there and ask for bitcoin support!

Ok. Makes sense.

Done!

I asked them a couple of times using the live chat, I didn't know the suggestion form, I'll use it

Awesome idea, I really like that site.  Sent them an email.

Great! That makes three within a few hours...

Would be truly excellent if they did accept bitcoins.

Unfortunately with their hit and miss delivery, having a way to chargeback is the only way I'll do business with them. They have pretty loose timelines and the box doesn't always have everything in it you ordered.

Still I'll add my voice to it and fill out a form.

Perhaps showing some support in the Bitcoin 100 thread for dealextreme.com would be a good idea.

I love dealextreme... I hope they go through with it.

I emailed them.  Hope they start accepting Bitcoin.  I'd definitely order from them a TON.

I've spent hundreds of dollars on that site the last few years.. For them to accept bitcoin would be huge, but I'm a bit pessimistic about this. Perhaps we should focus on smaller websites first.

just reply in the dealextreme forum and agree! to get bitcoins in there

I want to let you know that we started a petition to DX.com asking for accepting Bitcoin as a payment method. Please sign this petition below:

I'm sure that if we reach a considerable amount of claims demanding for it adoption.. They 're going to be forced to look at it.

Please feel free to SHARE to your friends. Ask them to sign too. The much action we take, the better..
