I got a brand new XBox360 256G for free, Bring it to my workplace with a tag witten :

230 BTC
240 CAD
250 USD

an hour later, a coworker bought it in BTC, Transfered me BTC live, I've confirm that I was receiving the 230 BTC and called "It's your XBox !"

No need to wait after work hour, go to bank, go pay the stuff..
No need to get taxed by paypal fees

Just fast, easy and free transaction !   Cheesy

Really fine, long life to BTC, hope they'll became usual for everyone !


Later, I'll try to sell something on EBay stating I'm willing to accept paiement in BTC with a link to Bitcoin.org !

Happy to share this here Smiley

I wish my co-workers were using BTC; all they can do is: "buy me some and we will sell them once the value goes up".

Great example.

Bitcoin will work very well in office spaces or anywhere people are largely network connected and trade the goods face-to-face. Mobile app gonna be the killer app street vendors, markets, mom 'n pop shops could benefit.

Big box retailers have a lot of inertia invested in the current banking system so maybe last to offer BTC payment methods.
