[runam0k]

Should be +44.

Cheaper than Zip Zap, no?

I'll swing by next week.

Great news! I wish it's going well as he is going ahead and wish it's right time he started his business otherwise it won't be successful

[markjamrobin]

So they sell physical coins then?

Nope. Essentially just a paper wallet.

Of course. Wouldn't be much of a business if he did it for free  .

I doubt he'll have much of a customer base at all, but I can only assume his target base are people who want to buy bitcoins quickly for cash.

Hmmm I would definitely stop by here, if he sells at good rates... Probably better than Local Bitcoins.

Zipzap offer a similar service and they're all over the UK.

Hmm, well I suppose it will depend on rates then.

[rmines]

Has anyone of this forum payed him a visit yet?

[hilariousandco]

Oh! I thought it was going to be a store with everything priced in bitcoin.

So did I, the title of the thread makes it seem that way.

So, I dropped by this afternoon and it's everything it appears to be. Akin is very cool and obviously clued in; cool as in, he got his Bitcoin's a couple of years ago from Amir Taaki. He's moving with the times relative to MtGox and switched from a simple price averaging that included them, to looking now at BitStamp and others for a good real price, to which he adds 3% commission - so, not the high end of localbitcoins and I expect might be cheaper than ZipZap and the ATMs though I don't know what those are just yet.

He's only been open since Monday and surprised by the attention already, though I suspect also rather enjoying it.

I mentioned bitcointalk in passing, which he was apparently unaware of; he noted the idea of selling other items for Bitcoin but I suspect he's got plenty enough to do already. No plans for alt-coins just yet but realistic about those in the future, if they ever dissociate from BTC and have real world potential etc.

Highly recommended then. Akin good to do business with and the process he has setup is as simple as can be. You pay whatever you want and get a receipt with a code to redeem later to any address you want. That receipt of coins then is very fast and so I had mine around the 70secs the ticket suggested.

Really hoping it works out for him. We just need more things to spend bitcoin on here in the UK. Scan.co.uk taking coins is awesome we just need more to follow suit. In fact I'm going to email a company about this tonight.

Great news, thanks for the info.

Not sure how 3% commission can cover the overheads of having a shop in London, but best of luck to him either way.  Already mentioned it to some friends who are heading in to London at the weekend.

I can't imagine him getting more than a few customers a day. If the market tanks how is he going to remain in profit? In fact, all the prices need to do is dip a bit and he's in the red.
