Title: 100% wool scarves/throws/blankets
Post by: PatrickHarnett on July 15, 2011, 08:26:09 AM
There seams to be a shortage of "hard" goods outside of a limited range so I thought I'd throw in a new item.  I have a manufacturing business that makes wool products.  Normally we wholesale and some direct internet retail around the world.  As a poll of the forum community interested enough to read this to include a bitcoin payment option?  ( www.stansborough.co.nz )

If you have a few spare coins you can even buy an official Lord of the Rings cloaks.

I'm very interested!  Any ideas on prices in BTC for your blankets and throws?

yes this is true and i am glad you are doing this too because i am very new to bitcoin too and slowly trying to move ebay items on a bitcoin website, which i sell craft items like candles, homemade soap and stuff like that, plus gun accessories so i will be interested how your sales goes, on a side note how much is your cloak? lol

Yes. 

We'll make you a custom fit elf or Gandalf cloak if you wanted - they are not too cheap though.

Off the top of my head throws would be around 13BTC and the blankets around 20BTC.  I would point out these products are not the kind of thing you'd get from k-mart.

We currently price in NZD and quote in USD, AUD, GBP and pretty much anywhere else in the world we need to send to.  We might peg a price to a weighted price of the main exchanges, so would use a conversion around USD14 at the moment.  One of the plus points I can think of is that it saves on the conversion costs between currencies.

Anyway -testing the idea here first, will discuss with the other company directors in a week or so when I get back to New Zealand.

Thought I would bump this topic because there have been some changes to the catalogue, and the filming of The Hobbit is making progress locally.  If someone is interested, drop me a pm or a reply in this thread and I'll do some work on making the products more available for BTC.

(also for historical interest, note the $14/BTC price from a year ago)

You wouldn't happen to sell just the cloth would you?
