Very cool.

The exchange rate is currently 0.72 BTC per $10 card.  (i.e., uses 1 BTC = $14.08 USD)  [Edit: That is more than 10% below the spot price on Mt. Gox, and even more below the 24 hour weighted average.

That's quite a deal!

Is that offer good, or are there data issues?

That would mean he's getting the good end of things, not the customer...

Wow, sorry.  I had a context switch problem  (from just working with an exchange rate when buying bitcoins to looking at this where the exchange rate is used for selling bitcoins).

I'm not sure about the buy.com but the Amazon is indeed virtual, btw I cashed out $160 worth of coins earlier in the week before price drop and was pretty pleased with the service. YMMV

I just bought a $50 Amazon code.  30 minutes after ordering, I successfully added the code to my Amazon account.  Great site!
