TigerDirect is big enough they might get better service. Will be interesting if BFL sells through them. If we see monarch.... we know big mistake. If we see only instock all depends on price.

Pfft. TigerDirect isn't bigger than the bitcoin mining community. After all BFL products are aimed at miners, I don't see why BFL would give them better service if TigerDirect customers are just avid gamers. They should care more about giving us better service because we're the one actually using it and giving the reviews and recommending people on which hardware to get. |

I don't think 'sponsor' is the correct term. They are resellers of BFL products. If BFL can't deliver to TigerDirect than the store will only show 'out of stock' ... big deal. |

My guess tigerdirect gets their devices slightly less delayed than normal bfl customers. Either way the only outcome will be many people ripped off (tiger direct and its customers) and a shitload of return/refunds. |

When they arrive it gets put into the store. If they don't ever arrive, they never make it to the store to sell in the first place. And if there are returns from customers, TigerDirect will just return the item to BFL. Do you honestly think TigerDirect takes the hit for all the products returned? really? |

Would be funny if someone threw together a bunch of examples from this forum of how the COO of BFL often interacts with their customers in a public forum and send them to Tiger Direct. I am wondering if he will call all Tiger Direct customers monumental assholes soon, nah probably not, even Inaba isn't that fucking stupid...!!

Ok so you are telling me tigerdirect is going to order a bunch of monarchs and should they not be able to sell them, get a refund? BFL's business model does not allow for this. Tigerdirect will end up with a bunch of useless paperweights like everyone else while supporting a company that has scammed like half the bitcoin community. |

TigerDirect's parent company does $3.5 billion of sales in computer gear a year. I think they have this shit figured out. |

Except Tiger Directs Lawyers will rip BFL a new asshole and BFL will be begging for them to stop LOL!!! |

Now you will just have someone to complain to if they don't ship immediately. What? No refunds? Call TigerDirect. Delist. End of Story. |

Exactly,  Let Inaba experience the panic for you. Just watch this old tiger and the leopard who can't change his ole spots. |

Typically wholesalers (in this case BFL) float the retailers (in this case TigerDirect) and I'm sure TD is used to working in this manner. If it doesn't fit BFL, well than it's BFL's problem not TigerDirect. |

BFL aside, I think this is pretty excellent. Overstock and TigerDirect taking Bitcoin? We've been waiting for events like this.

I don't have an opinion on BFL - I was just sickened to see TigerDirect promoting the mining industry.
