I've never heard of Monoprice before, but I just looked at the website since you posted this thread and they have some really nice stuff.   It would be cool if they accepted BTC.   Are there any talks of that, or are you just speculating?

isn't monoprice a chinese company that sells accessories and cables? either way though, doesn't seem like they get enough volume to be of any real news. we're all hoping for a gamechanger like amazon, ebay or facebook.

Maybe not real news...but a decent shopping option for audio/video cables, etc...

why ask us?

you'll be better off asking them, and adding in hints on how easy it is to implement by linking them to coinbase/bitpay.

sitting around asking outsiders, while not informing insiders is a waste of time

I would buy all my computer accessories exclusively from them if they did that.

I think if anybody contact their support about this, they may put an option.  :)

Me too looked at the website when I saw this post. When I searched I found 3 links:1 (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1w3f8m/since_tigerdirect_started_accepting_bitcoin_thats/) 2 (http://www.bitcoiney.com/monoprice-com-to-consider-accepting-bitcoin) 3 (https://twitter.com/mikehorton/status/453621504719081472)

Never gonna happen. The fees are too high.
3% for Monoprice to cash out, and another 3% the customer eats to cash in.
Might as well just use a credit card.

It seems like something bigger is going to happen: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=643196.msg7183951#msg7183951

A friend who is the marketing manager for a major hotel / events chain in Miami (they hosted the Bitcoin conference attendees at the Miami conference, including the Ethereum team, etc) posted on his facebook this week that there will be a significant announcement "monday" related to another major major business accepting Bitcoin.   He feels the current price will be a thing of the past. 

EDIT:  since he posted it publicly, here you go:   https://www.facebook.com/jeffturgeau.clevelander

I challenged him pointing out that the Paypal/Ebay announcement was pretty friggen huge, and the price didn't really go anywhere except up 20-30 dollars. Sometimes people say the price will skyrocket, but they don't necessarily have good judgment on that, and it doesn't happen.  They think it should go up, but other things are at play and it barely moves, even if the news is good.  We've seen that *a lot* recently.

Let's not get too excited; that email sounds like it was authored by a ticket-tracking bot. You could probably email them about how much you'd like to lick their toes and get the same email back.

i bought a few computer accessories from monoprice before
great service and products are excellent prices
bitcoin will save them a few percentage points on their profits, hope they adopt it

I also bought some things from them and their service is good and most importantly they get Bitcoins.

I don't understand it " how they get bitcoins " if they are not accepting it yet.?

Take a look at this guy posts. He posts just one phrase non sense , probably to build up activity.
