Bitcoin Forum

I searched around and have not been able to find any store which accepts bitcoins for things such as: film, paper, filters, darkroom supplies, cables, flashes, lenses, etc..

I am in the process of setting up a bitcoin only store for this these materials, but I would first like to know if there is any interest in the community. Please let me know if you would consider purchasing such items with bitcoin.

I've never done much with film photography,  but I am interested. I think a DIY camera set would be cool (the cardboard pinhole type, I believe), along with some film and the works for 35mm film if I get to that point. I also have ten billion hobbies already :-/.

I might be interested, especially if you offer more than just an online store: a place where enthusiasts can also discuss related topics and learn. Needless to say, your reputation has to be built patiently if you are to accept bitcoins only. I am not going to risk any big purchases without an escrow. 

Are you planning to sell, or to offer a market place?

The idea was to have a store, rather than a marketplace; but i would definitely keep that option in mind.

Escrow was the plan for more expensive items, but I was planning to start selling smaller items to start out (lens filters, sd cards, film, flash cables/triggers and the like) probably with an option for escrow as well.

Why not save some resources and sell through bitmit?

Bitcoin is in its infancy. We are facing a problem: new businesses have a hard time surviving due to small user base, and adoption is slow because not many businesses accept bitcoins. Therefore, at this stage it is prudent to stick together and grow the economy.

Thanks for the suggestion niko, I actually hadn't thought of that. Perhaps I will start out on bitmit and see how that goes before considering a separate store.
