I'm selling an Iphone4 and an HD 5970, but I've tried selling other things in the past like Jtaged Xbox 360s and even drugs. The only thing that sold was the drugs. Someone posted here that it's hard to get bitcoins, so I figure that until it's easy to buy them, you won't be able to get a fair price for your goods.

We need to make $ to BTC conversions much much quicker and easier. Lot's of people messaged me and were interested in buying my Jtag, but when I said I only accepted bitcoin all I heard were crickets chirping.

Nobody who puts the time into converting their cash into bitcoin is going to let them go for regular money. The difficulty in obtaining them is why they have a premium.

Wanna thank you guys for helping me see that and put it into perspective.

Still though, I'm willing to get fucked in the ass a little bit, I'm not completely unreasonable.

We also have to consider what you are selling. I am beginning to think the problem isn't people don't want to buy stuff with BTC. Maybe our community isn't large to offer enough of the things people want to buy.


I'd agree with that. At least on ebay I can pit the whole world against itself. What do you guys think it would take to close the gap?

I heard that if everybody who thinks they have stock in silver actually tried to buy real silver, then silver would be worth 5 times as much as gold. Any way someone could verify this? Is buying silver basically just playing a waiting game?

What is a 15 dollar bitcoin and where do you get them?

Last price at trade hill at the time of writing this is 15.29. MTGox is dead, tradehill sets the price for now.

No bad experience. Just nobody wants to buy my stuff at prices comparable with the exact product on ebay. That's my own personal gripe. Other than that I don't see how we can get fresh blood involved if they have to get screwed on a transaction just to get their feet wet.

Stop being cheap. A 15 dollar bitcoin isn't worth 20, 30 or 100 dollars yet. That is all.

If you want bitcoin currency, you should offer value for it.

If anybody is interested in buying a 5970 for 40 coins (firm) I'd be down to let it go. I mined on it 24/7 for about a month and two weeks. Still has well over a year warranty on it. Exact same make and model as this one here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180682982965&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Will take a picture confirming I have the card if anybody is interested.

I read an article about making money on your pc. I ran the program for about 10 seconds then thought it was stupid so I turned it off. Now I realized that I'm stupid and I wish I could turn me off.

Hearing all these other people getting burned on speculation has been therapeutic for me. If you look at my post history you'll find that I try to weasel the sentence "I buttfucked myself out of 10 bitcoins on namecoin speculation" into almost every other post I make.

The lesson I learned is that I don't know what I'm doing. The reason why people get rich on the markets is because they're either lucky or they're smarter than everybody else. I actually thought I figured something out that you guys didn't. Thank god I didn't make any money, otherwise I would have gone all out.

I'm still planning on buying a lot once it feels it hits rock bottom, then it'll probably just hit rock bottom way more.

This is exactly like driving drunk, and some dipshit hits you with their car and you get arrested. Sure what you did was reckless and dangerous, but you might have never gotten fucked if it wasn't for them. That being said, your face is fucking awesome.

You grow out of it, then you regret the time you wasted acting like a little bitch.

As far as being a parasite and never helping anybody, I'd greatly appreciate your bitcoins:

50 would be rad as fuck.

376  Economy / Marketplace / Re: 250GB Hard Drives for Xbox 360 - 5.5 BTC shipped! on: June 24, 2011, 10:01:01 PM
I see you have harddrive cases for the older fat xbox 360s at 9 dollars a piece. When ordering 2 Shipping came out to $3. So 21$ in bitcoins and we're set?
377  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Buy coins or a card? on: June 24, 2011, 08:52:34 PM
If you regret losing about $20 on a coin investment short-term, which could turn into a profit long term, I'd suggest maybe doing neither until the market stabilises, or trying to think of a service you can provide for coins to limit your risk.

How do you figure only 20? I would have still had the card.

379  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Buy coins or a card? on: June 24, 2011, 05:28:40 AM
Because I don't shit out stacks of cash. I mine already, but I bought 10 coins @ 17 and I regret it. I should have bought a card back then and just mined 10 coins and sold the card.
380  Bitcoin / Mining support / Buy coins or a card? on: June 24, 2011, 05:21:11 AM
Hey guys, I hate bugging you with things I could research myself, but I'm lazy and I think this might help others. Someone is selling a 5950 for 160 locally on craigslist.

I want to buy the card, mine, then sell the card once I decide to quit. The thing is, I'm a gambler and think bitcoins might hit $100 in the next few years here.

What wold you do?

Edit: Electricity is cheap here .04 - .025 a kwh. I won't start mining until the 1,200,000 difficulty rate hits.
