Sadly, just as Bmoconno stated, Amazon tends to be difficult to deal with when it comes to worldwide shipping. Sorry.

I'll have you guys' orders completed in the next few hours, and will send each of you your tracking info when I'm finished.

Yes, I currently operate only within the US.



I will be sending you a PM shortly so that we can arrange this deal. Thank you!

More like third!

I've officially received my first two orders! Hoping to fulfill them tomorrow.

Yup, electronics are cool too! I've updated the post accordingly. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks so much for pointing that out! I've updated the post itself accordingly to promote more transparency. I have also received your PM and will get to it ASAP.

It looks like the general consensus is that trust needs to be built here.

But trust can't be built until someone takes the plunge and becomes the first person to buy from me.

So, who's up for it? 

Indeed, I never personally have my hands on the item. I'm basically just a middle-man that makes the connections and profits, to be rather blunt.

I assure you, 20% off retail is a fantastic deal. Regardless of the lack of warranty, getting a $200 item for $160 is pretty kickass, I think.

Thanks for the words of support man, I really appreciate it!

Really? I was honestly unaware of this. Like really. However, I assure you, I am in no way related to whoever that person is, nor are our businesses related.

Oh great, now everyone is going to think I'm some kind of scammer. 

TO EVERYONE:
I AM NOT A SCAMMER.
If there is any way for me to further prove this, do let me know!
Thank you!

Anything that I can do to prove to you guys that this is legit?   

Sure! It's actually fairly simple.
I have a cousin (who shall remain anonymous, of course) who actually has a fairly high-up position at Amazon. Me and him used to run a small electronics business on the website before he got the job (that's actually how he got the job in the first place). We had to disband the business afterwards due to the fact that he could no longer remain committed, but he offered me a small, private partnership with the company for low-cost electronics equipment at discounted prices. To put it simply, it's just a big family discount.

I, however, love BTC (it's just so freaking cool!), and recognized the potential to make profits by buying the discounted products and selling them for a slightly higher (but still very low) price on forums like this one. Put 2 and 2 together, and I logically end up right here. (:

Let me know if you have any more questions!  

EDIT: The commission I mentioned in the original post comes from Amazon whenever I direct-ship the item to a buyer that I find. It's like a business-promotion commission (I promote Amazon, Amazon pays me back for doing so).

SALES TO DATE: 0 ITEMS/0 PEOPLE

REVIEWS: None yet.


BACKGROUND:

I have always had a very small partnership with Amazon, but I think now that I have gotten into the world of BTC, I may finally be able to take advantage of it!

Basically, the plan is to start selling computer hardware on these forums. Thanks to that partnership, I can have the item shipped straight from the factory to the buyer! For every item I sell, I get a little commission from Amazon. And the best part is that I'll be able to sell these items for a fraction of their usual prices! It's a win-win for everybody!

***NOTE: I know people are gonna be like, "OMG THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE OMG SCAMMER!!!!11111!!!" so here's a breakdown of how this actually works on my end.

(1) I post the items for sale, with a price, on these forums.
(2) People who are interested send BTC to me (through escrow, of course).
(3) I use my own $$$ to buy the item from Amazon and have it shipped directly to the buyer. Since I'm partnered with them, I get great discounts.
(4) You get the item, I get the BTC.

ALL SALES WILL BE DONE VIA ESCROW UNLESS THE BUYER DOESN'T WANT TO.
YOU CAN ALSO BUY FROM MY STORE ON COINGIG, JUST SEND ME A PM WITH THE COMPONENT YOU WANT SO THAT I CAN CREATE A LISTING FOR IT.
THIS IS, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, A DROP-SHIPPING BASED BUSINESS.
CURRENTLY OPERATING ONLY WITHIN THE US.
TRACKING INFO WILL BE SENT TO BUYER UPON PLACEMENT OF ORDER.
EXCHANGE RATE: MT.GOX.

What's in it for you: Great deals on great items.
What's in it for me: Conversion of $$$ to BTC, along with some small profits (I will be selling each item for slightly more than I buy it from Amazon for, which will still be a big discount for the buyer in the end).
The catch: The only catch is that I cannot offer warranties on any items. Keep in mind, I am a drop-shipper, and that makes dealing with warranties a bit more complicated than it's really worth.

FOR SALE NOW:
ANY computer component OR general electronic (Pi kits, Arduino, Beagle Bone stuff, etc.) that retails for under $200! Just send me a PM with an Amazon link to the component you want, and I'll come back to you ASAP with a price. (Typically about 20% below retail!!!)
All items come with free shipping.

UPDATE: I will be fulfilling my first two orders tomorrow! Yay for progress!

Happy shopping!

**If you feel uncomfortable with this service or feel that it is in any way fishy, please feel free to PM me so that I can hear out your concerns!  

IMPORTANT UPDATE/PSA:
It has come to my attention that the primary concern for most potential buyers here is the possibility of me using stolen credit cards to purchase the products for resale.
All I can give you as proof to my legitimacy is my word: I am using my money and my money alone to purchase any and all products for resale to my buyers.
I wish there was some sort of further proof that I could give to help assuage your concerns more effectively, but I can't think of anything else. All I can say is that I have no criminal record, and that I truly don't even know how to gain access to stolen credit card info.
Again, if you are still concerned about the legitimacy of this business or feel uncomfortable buying from me for fear of fraudulent activity, feel free to drop me a PM so that we can discuss things in more detail.
Thank you.

Can't wait until BTCtalk removes my posting limitations so I can start selling. For those of you who like to get fantastic deals on BTC-bought items, stay tuned!
