Title: Bitcoin General Store
Post by: Bitcoin General Store on March 23, 2014, 01:18:58 PM
The Bitcoin General Store is open for business!

We carry a variety of goods including but not limited to electronics, gifts, shirts, caps, stickers, precious metals, physical bitcoins, coffee beans and honey products.

This is a joint venture between the owners of BitBrew and Bees Brothers but a new account was created to help avoid confusion. Please use this thread or PMs to this user if you have any questions.

We are always looking for new products. If you or someone you know produces an item that may appeal to Bitcoiners, let us know.

The SSL certificate installed at the site is being upgraded so please bare with us if you receive a warning when visiting. The issue should be fixed in another business day or two.

A couple of goals we hope to accomplish with the Bitcoin General Store:

1) One convenient shopping for multiple items at one store (savings on shipping).
 
2) A place where new vendors wishing to start using bitcoin can sell their items and the customers won't have to worry about getting scammed.  We will have their items in stock before we sell any.  This will be a way to screen new vendors and eliminate risk to the customer.  We will link to the new vendor's websites and/or forum threads so customers can order directly from them.

3) We have begun and will continue to contact vendors (currently not taking bitcoin) that we know who might have items we could sell for them.  They will need to set up a bitcoin address as we plan to do as much transactions as possible with bitcoin.  We will also help the new vendors get set up to receive bitcoin or use a third party processor if they choose.

Hopefully this will get more goods and services available with bitcoin, and get more businesses using bitcoin.

We also hope to allow anyone who just wants to focus on crafting their product to do so without having to worry about constantly marketing the fruits of their labor.

No website?
No problem.

Concerned about advertising, promoting, or pitching your goods?
We can do that.

Looking to sell to customers in the US but international shipping costs make it impractical for individual orders?
We buy in bulk, greatly reducing the shipping costs.

Are a newbie or habitual lurker hesitant to dive into a troll fest in order to earn some respectability/trust?
Turns out, we're pretty good at that.

Convince one customer (us), one time, and let us take care of the rest.
