Perhaps my view is distorted, but to me, Bitmit was the main btc-to-physical-goods marketplace. Now that it's shutting down, where will all of the sellers/buyers go? Is there a viable competitor, or is there now an opening for such a site?

I wouldn't say it was a major BTC to physical goods marketplace, but it sure was convient. I'm sure someone will take its place, and hopefully innovate and make it even better.

Newegg needs to get on board. That would be awesome.

It's a fine service and I think just about everyone's bid on it at some point or another. Tongue No reason for it to disappear unless current owner insists on a reserve, keeping the service hostage unless demands are met. Seems unlikely. Maybe announcing closure (which has been done multiple times before preceding a sale) is a way to show potential buyers how many users there actually are. This thread and similar ones are free advertising.

Try HalfPriceDigital.com instead.  You can buy and sell for BTC on HalfPriceDigital.com using your Coinbase account, or you can buy/sell with fiat using PayPal or Skrill.
