Post by: Gabriel Beal on June 27, 2011, 05:22:52 AM
We got this iconic Bitcoin business to offer 50% off of normal price.  We're capping this deal at 19 buyers (2 purchased as of this posting), so grab them while you can: MetaCo.in (http://www.metaco.in)

I recently came back from Peru with a couple pairs of these (along with some other alpaca clothing).
Highly recommended for anyone who likes ridiculously snugly and soft footwear!

These are selling fast.  This may be our first deal to end early because of the cap.  We only have 7 of 19 deals left.  And people think no one buys anything in bitcoins.

What about international delivery?

Can I suggest that you include information about international delivery in your offerts? It would make things easier for a lot of people.

Yeah, I do mention it in the ad, but I should probably carve out a specific section for that, you're right.  Grass Hill Alpacas said they do ship internationally, and that it's usually just a little bit extra.  I'll try to get some specifics.

Okay, I put up the international shipping info on the deal.  Grass Hill Alpacas said they can't guarantee international shipping prices, because it will depend on when you redeem your voucher, but as of today, shipping to Canada will cost an additional 0.30 bitcoins, China/Australia is 0.45, and Austria/Germany/Switzerland is 0.40.

Im guessing that the rest of Europe will be similar. Btw, can I buy two pairs with the offer?

Wow, 13 hours in and all sold out.  Thanks from MetaCoin and Grass Hill Alpacas for all the orders.  We reached 19 a lot faster than I had imagined.  What are we going to do for the rest of the allotted deal time?  Not sure, we'll come up with something.  Perhaps we could put together a puppet show.  I wish we could get the HomeStar Runner (http://homestarrunner.com) guys to add Ace Coinsworth (our whale) to their show.

To everyone who ordered, normally the vouchers get created and emails get sent upon the closing of the deal (currently still scheduled for 36 hours from now).  Since we reached the max so quickly, we'll close the deal some time this evening and you'll start receiving your emailed voucher codes.

Thanks again!
