Yup, selling a code for $15 worth of Amazon credit. Looking for about 2.4BTC (going by the current MTGox average) but might be willing to haggle on that a little... trying to keep close to the original value of it though proof of legitimacy can be found in my post history/signature, and photo can be seen here |

Very much like the other day, I'm once again selling an Amazon giftcode! ^^ This time though, the ante is a little higher... $7, so a little more expensive. I'm asking 1.80BTC for the code this time. If interested, just post here and we'll take it from there in PMs. (: And just as before, here's proof of:  |

Selling a $5 Amazon.com (US and maybe Canada, not sure) gift code for 1.40BTC (using the current rate on MTGox of 3.67891BTC/1USD, rounding to nearest ten). It is a relatively low amount of money being exchanged (or not, if you consider that this is the most the BTC has been worth in at least months), but if you want I'd be happy to use ClearCoin to escrow the transaction (just lemme know when you hit me up!). ^^ Since I AM still fairly juvenile to trading here and all that. And as proof that I've actually got the goods, here is a pic of the receipt I will be copying the code from (which the code itself blocked out for obvious reasons);  (: |

'Ello everyone. ^^ First off, I'd like to preface this by saying that I'm not a proficient (or even competent!) web programmer or anything like that. Just another BTC lover that loves sometimes conceptualizing things in my spare time. Hehe.
I do feel, though, that this idea is feasible; and since I have heard murmurings of people wondering how to make BTC a physical currency I thought I would throw my hat in the ring. THAT SAID, here's my idea.
The way this would work is there would be a website where one would deposit BTC, all of which would be held under a username of some sort (perhaps OpenID, which has seen some popularity recently?) until the end user decides to withdraw it.
At that point, a one-use code would be generated on the server's end and given to the user in the form of a graphic to print out (containing the randomly-generated code, a barcode with the same information to scan [QR codes would be very useful for this purpose], and most likely some superfluous material such as the site's logo, background image, and so on).
The user would then give it to the other party (that they're paying) and the second party would then input the code on the same site as before. The server would recognize the code and deposit however much the first user had given them and register the code as 'invalid' (so as to avoid it being used again in the future). At this point, the second user could either let the money sit in their account and build up over time, or withdraw it into their own BTC application/wallet.
The only problem I can see with this (aside from the possibility of the money getting lost; which is a possibility for all physical currency for the obvious reasons) is that after the money had been spent by the second party the 'money' that was printed would be rendered useless (whereas with the regularly mass-printed currency such as USD, a dollar is useable at any time as long as one has it available to them). One would have to dispose of it after they're done (which isn't a huge concern, since as I see it BitCoin *is* primarily a virtual currency, but it still bears mentioning).
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? Comments? Ways it could be improved? ^^ I'd love to see what people think of this idea, or (if someone has thought of this/is working on something similar) how they're improving on the concept. Also, my apologies if this is the wrong subforum to post this in... I wasn't sure where to post it but this seemed like the most apropos place.

Hey all. ^^
I'm selling a code for an eighty-eight cent Borders/WaldenBooks/Borders.com giftcard. To anyone that might wonder, I bought the giftcard to make an online purchase from them, but now that I've made this transaction I have only so much money left and thought someone else might find some use for it (especially if they already have *some* money in their Borders account!). ^^
I'm asking for 1.30BTC (about 83c USD according to MtGox), though I would be willing to go as low as 1BTC for this. Since I'm not a very well-known/trusted seller around these parts, I understand if you're not trusting me at first (even for such a small transaction), so I'm willing to use ClearCoin if desired! (^^) Feel free to PM me/reply here if interested.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm just selling the code (which would be PMed to you), not the physical card itself. ^^;
