[ANN] BitcoinStore.com (Beta) - Electronics super store with over 500K items!

[MemoryDealers]

I'm proud to announce the beta launch of BitcoinStore.com
BitcoinStore.com is the world's first, Bitcoin only, super store.
We currently have more than 500,000 products available for immediate shipment, including PCs, Laptops, Hard Drives, Printers, Digital Cameras, Monitors, TVs, Software and more!
Our prices are often lower than other major retailers like Amazon.com, NewEgg.com and Buy.com
This is possible because we have partnered with the worlds largest wholesale technology distributor, and avoid traditional merchant fees because we accept Bitcoin only.
In the very near future, content from other partners will be added so we will have more than 1,000,000 products and full international shipping support.

Some current examples of great deals from BitcoinStore are:

LG 55" 120HZ LED TV

BitcoinStore $1,163.17
Amazon $1,303.13
Newegg $1,249.99


HP 17.3" LED Notebook - Core i7 i7-2640M 2.8GHz

BitcoinStore $1,985.51
Amazon $2,266.66
NewEgg $2,317.00


Dell 2350D Laser Printer

BitcoinStore $175.66
Amazon $202.01
NewEgg $204.99

and much much more!

Domesting shipping is FREE on all orders over $100 USD.
$4.99 shipping for all domestic orders under $100
International FedEx and USPS shipping options are now available.
There is currently a $1,000 order minium during our beta launch.  (This will be removed soon)

In order to maintain these competitive prices, I will need to sell more than $800K USD worth of goods per quarter,  so please place your orders and help spread the word!

Please post your questions,  bug reports, and feature requests in the thread below.

Excellent!!!

[mc_lovin]

quite the selection there.

Trusted company, great prices, what could be better? This is a KILLER app for Bitcoin.

[Daily Anarchist]

I just splooged in my pants!

[cunicula]

I entered a foreign shipping address. This returned: No shipping option available.

I then tried to enter a US shipping address. The system hung up, not allowing me to alter the shipping information.

You might want to get that fixed.

I was not actually going to buy anything, but wanted to know about your payment options. (Still don't know)

I would suggest three prices:
1) Low bitcoin price
2) Middle price for cash deposit with Bitinstant at physical location. Bitinstant can then transfer the USD to you.
3) Highest price for payment with credit card. (If you are allowed to do this by the card companies. If not, then no card payments)

The hope is that people looking for a cheaper USD price will do step 2. Because 2 is inconvenient and slightly expensive, return customers may try out step 1.

Also, if you can get your low, pure bitcoin USD prices indexed on search engines as USD prices, that will help drive traffic.

Right now, you will not be able to support this business with pure bitcoin traffic alone.

Yeah, I can't progress past part one when trying to order.

Any chance of just putting all prices in terms of Bitcoin as well as dollars?

[MemoryDealers]

Do you have more than $1,000 in your basket?  (This is the current order minimum durring beta)

This should be live by tomorrow.

Yes, I added a computer just to get above the $1k mark. I wasn't going to buy anything yet. I just wanted to see the checkout total with Bitcoin. =)

So the problem was solved as soon as you had the $1000 in your cart?

It let me proceed to checkout, but not get past the first or second step.

[Daily Anarchist]

I decided to create an actual account. First I tried to create account as I was walking through the checkout process, but that wouldn't work. So, I went to the sign up button and that allowed me to create an account. Then I went to checkout and there were only 5 steps instead of 7 or something. Anyways, that let me get all the way down to step five where it says "place order." But I didn't press the place order button. It should give me the price in bitcoin before I hit the place order button.

[BitPay Business Solutions]

Yes if you have > $1000 it will let you checkout.  As of now, the bitcoin rate is not pulled until you get all the way down to the bottom of the form (Step 6) and click Place Order.

Hopefully soon the entire bitcoin payment section will be embedded in Section 6, eliminating a couple clicks to the checkout process.

We have this working now on http://stompromp.com if you'd like to pretend to buy some guitar strings, get down to step 6 and see how it works!  or just look at this screencap, you get the idea.  The BitcoinStore should have this same functionality very soon.

Would like to see brand names in the links on the browse pages. Hard to navigate things that are just generically named like "20 inch monitor...".

[LightRider]

Price range links don't seem to work. In fact, categorization in general doesn't seem to be correct at all.

This does not apply to the address correction issue. I had more than 1k in cart, but could not edit the shipping address to somewhere they ship to and thus could not progress to checkout.

You should enable some option to clear everything, so the user does not get stuck with invalid information that there is no straightforward way to correct.

Nice work Roger, looking very slick.

Seconded. There is a (related?) problem with search, for example no hits for "thinkpad" or "lenovo" even though such machines are clearly available after some tedious browsing around.

Edit: search seems to work now, thanks!

[Diablo]

Haha I recognize this magento theme.
Might have to buy some stuff, still browsing
