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 Cheesy

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.

Can we buy cars with overstock?

My Dad wants a Camaro.

This is the only one I could find on there:

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!  Grin

Please could you post a picture of those handbags when you can?  Smiley

Got a few different styles of these.  They will make nice gifts too.  I know most guys won't care though. Wink

"Someone Already Bought A $2,700 13-Piece Patio Set On Overstock.com Using Bitcoin"

http://www.businessinsider.com/overstockcom-is-now-officially-accepting-bitcoin-2014-1

Who was it? Cheesy

What's great about this is the press this will get:

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/overstockcom-first-online-retailer-to-accept-bitcoin-239488961.html

And of course is maybe they will increase business and it will reflect in Overstock's earnings.  If business increases, other retailers will take notice and go in the same direction.

Okay, I was really trying to get this to $10K but I have to do stuff before meetings with lawyers and accountants all day tomorrow but I just can't do it right now. I'm sure I will get more later.

Go overstock!

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.  Wink  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 Sad

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.

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.

Society doesn't scale.
