Someone should buy a car or truck. Maybe not right now! But it's the kind of thing that you don't get a lot of choice with in bitcoin retailers till now, unless you've got Lamborghini or Tesla money, from what I've heard  If we could make car dealers think about accepting bitcoin, that adds a nice bit of momentum to the movement. Gotta be attractive to them: instant funds clearing, no fraudulent card purchases, keeping that 3-4% they always hand to the processor, etc. |

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

This is the only one I could find on there: http://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toys/Chevrolet-Racing-Camaro-2-Seater-in-Black/7723691/product.html?searchidx=4 |

I bought several handbags! So excited! They were on sale 90% off too! And I used the small amount of coin I still had on Gox. That is one way to get rid of coins left there!  Please could you post a picture of those handbags when you can?  Got a few different styles of these. They will make nice gifts too. I know most guys won't care though. http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Handbags/Gigi-Hill,/brand,/111/dept.html |

Please post photos, info or whatever you like about what you bought on this thread. https://www.overstock.comThat's weird. I thought they said they were launching in June. Have I overslept? |

I hope they get plenty of bitcoin business. |

Wow. There are some big spenders on here! I am sure Overstock is surprised by the increase of sales. I hope they start gloating about how it was their greatest move ever taking BTC. Hopefully more large companies will follow soon. |

Same here. I could not find a single fucking thing that I wanted after a couple of minutes looking around  At least the stuff isn't massively overpriced like most of the previous attempts at selling trinkets for bitcoin. That's welcome progress in my book. |
sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

4-footed food wanders around my place every day. A salt lick, powerful flashlight, and a multi-purpose harvesting tool largely covers the bases here. Got it handled. |

Overstock seems to cost about 25% more than amazon or ebay.
