pay with BTC in online electronics shops in EU

[balakirev]

All the sites coming up in searches for online purchase of electronics with BTC seem to be either out of business or outside EU. The exception is caseking.de. However, I'm looking to buy a PS4 with BTC, and caseking doesn't have them.

I seem to remember coming across a danish site that had them and accepts BTC, but I stupidly forgot to note the address and now I can't find it again.

Anyone know where to try?

I don't think you'll find anything better then Newegg. As for being able to use it from the EU, just use Shipito as a reship company (they accept bitcoin too).

I'll add a few electronics sellers I know of for the EU. I only bought from one (Scan), but the other's as legit as it gets.

Peddler is based very near me and it's more like a marketplace though (like Amazon or eBay) and full on Bitcoin. This is their thread and separate discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3293677.msg35017956#msg35017956. Not sure how their Bitcoin payment works but the discussion on thread brings up a 15-min time window so, BitPay I guess?

Scan.co.uk has pretty good consumer electronics stuff, just look for discounts. Bitpay too.

I know Alza is an electronics retailer based in the Czech Republic, but that's about it for sites that haven't been mentioned yet that I know of.

Spendabit might help jog your memory if you're trying to remember a site that sells electronics in exchange for BTC. Searching the prompt 'Laptop' or anything computer-related should come up with a few results. Most of the results seem to be for American sites like Overstock and Newegg, but like what people have mentioned above, it is possible to reship items over to Europe. Just make sure you're ready to provide ID in case the reship requests it. My best experiences have been with shipito.com and UsGoBuy for reshipping.

Just realised after a few search terms on Google a lot of the sites here don't turn up. Buy electronics or computer with Bitcoin and all related searches turn up almost 100% exchanges to buy Bitcoin. Those that do show up are the ones we already know of.

Still a long ways from mainstream merchant adoption, it would appear.

I know a shop called e4btc I am not sure if you will get the desired product there or not but you can have a look into it.

It's because people don't use Bitcoin as currency. It's mainly speculation that makes people not willing to use it as currency, and then we have people who are afraid of using it as currency because it might turn out to go up in value. We can't change people's speculative nature, but we can point out that spending coins won't make you lose out on future increases if you replace every spent satoshi. It allows Bitcoin to circulate just like how money circulates, which is what money is for right? I honestly haven't seen any sort of increase in people using crypto in general as currency throughout the years. Maybe a sign that in the same way not much will change in the coming years....

This and the volatility in the markets add to the speculative nature of a lot of
people in crypto. Everyone has heard the stories of people who made it big with
Bitcoin and feel there are big rewards to be had.

As long as we are getting big market swings people will be looking to either buy
in or sell out at opportune times.

I am in the market currently to buy a turntable with Bitcoin and being in Europe,
I did come across this site > https://www.alza.de which accepts Bitcoin payments

In market there are lots of websites that are giving such types of facilities also I think you can try Newegg because they accept btc also it is really great that in EU you can buy this with BTC.

Yeah, that's sadly true. Not a single person I've known who's got their first Bitcoin has used it for other than holding or trading. At best, I've convinced a few people to pay me in Bitcoin to get a discount on my work, but I doubt they spent it anywhere/thing else.

I don't know much about what happens outside my circle but after 2 years, am still the only one I know personally spending. Let's see after anothet 2 years (2020).

bitcoin is a online trading sector , it was invented for make the transaction comfortable for the investors. if we want we can use bitcoin for paying the bills over online but unfortunatly most of the people still think it is only can be used for investing or trading so paying bills through this is still not that popular

[CanyonsBull]

It is very easy to pay the price in bitcoin and hassle free. Among these, the EU could be one of the electronics. But I do not know about their website. I also want to know about their website.

I try search with key words and find this shop which have PS4 console payable in BTC, UK delivery is free so they are very likely from there. There is probably more shops which sell electronic for crypto in EU, but they are just local based and do not ship outside of country for some reason.

It would be wise to check any rewiew about bitcoingrotto before shopping, personally I have not tried this store so I can not recommend buying.
