I would if the difference was large enough to bother with the conversion process
Example a unit on ebay costs 120 dollars but the same thing can only be bought with bitcoin and or a service I don't use payza etc at around 70 dollars then I may be obliged to going and making an account that uses Bitcoin
Although if I use a service that gives me a bit of a bonus like Ebates would need to weight if I get a bigger cash back value than if I pay with BTC.
That said if it took two weeks to verify with an exchange to get BTC or a buy it now button then I probably would not bother if I needed it right away.

Would bitcoin atm,'s help with this problem of small and instant payments in bitcoin for goods do u think?
Yes, but we need easy to use ATMs, not like those first generation Robocoin machines, that required you to scan your hand for like a minute before it allowed you to actually do anything.

when the price is steady, i think  it is worth considering

I plan to phase out fiat as the bit coin economy grows. I am all ready converting 50% of my disposable income to bit coin and hoping to increase that amount to the point that I am paying only my mortgage and buying food with fiat.

I sometimes pay a premium if I can pay in bitcoin. My privacy is worth something. I rarely use anything except bitcoin for online purchases anymore. So for me the question is "Would I use a bank card if they offered a steep discount?" 
Maybe, but it has to be a good deal.
+1

To maintain my privacy, I have even gone as far as creating a fake Amazon account with a mail drop address and funding my purchases with Amazon Gyft cards paid with BTC.

I do not think you can hide your ip address very well unless using tor.

Does Amazon allow tor user to purchase item?

My question is if u see something u would like to buy and this item is offered at a lower price if paid using bitcoins, providing that you don't already have a wallet or coins would you take the time to set up a wallet and buy bitcoins just to be able to receive a discount on the item u wish to purchase?
I believed atm most people would not bother and pay full price,
WHY IS THIS SO?


because first of all, people who are not familiar with bitcoins, have only heard of them in a negative way most likely.
secondly, are there that many (well-known) merchandisers that offer a cheaper price when paying with btc ? (including exchange fees etc)

I bought various things with bitcoin, which would not have been possible without it. It provides me much freedom to buy things over the internet. I think cryptocurrency will make life much easier for all people, and will make people buy more things online.

It depends on the amount of the discount and the time it would take to set everything up.

There would be a small number of public acceptance if people could get a discount on a product and then stopped using bitcoin, or if they only used Bitcoin to get the discount.

Bitcoin should be sold based on it's security and speed.

Bitcoin can be sold to merchants based on it's low costs.

If it was an item I really wanted and it was on sale through bitcoin I would definitely buy it and yes if I didn't had coins I would buy bitcoins and then use them to buy that item.

In this scenario, when buying cheaper using btc i will go through btc.
But regular shopping is not preferred to made it through btc.Better is to hold them cause is an investment afterall.

Yes if I see something I can't find in the store or somewhere else
That or if the thing in the store is inferior to the product available for order online.

But it's not just for the first time -- if you start having some BTC on hand, you will always get these sort of discounts. IMO, in the future, some market niches (adult entertainment industry, for one) will use BTC and will give discounts for people to use it. No chargebacks...

bitcoin is not free money. In order to obtain BTC a person much either invest to purchase a miner to mine BTC, give someone fiat to purchase BTC or sell something of value in exchange for BTC.

The OP states that the consumer would need to exchange fiat for BTC and then use BTC to purchase something at a discount.

The "immoral" industries, like porn, legal pot, certain medical procedures, alcohol have a huge incentive to accept bitcoin. Not only would it be much more difficult for them to get robbed (when they deal with cash) but they would not have to deal with chargebacks which can eat into their profits significantly

To answer the OP's original question, yes after learning about the benefits of Bitcoin I would certainly buy a product using bitcoin.

Yes, I'm glad to pay in Bitcoin if it possible.

For example, store or company which accepts Bitcoin, can buy an ATM like Lamassu,RoboCoin ecc. and then place it out there of their store, so, If I'm interested I can buy Bitcoin from the ATM and then buy something to the store  Grin

Yes, I would pay in bitcoin because it is much easier than PayPal or any of those systems.

Majority of people are lazy and also, not so many have wallets on their smartphones and also I can't find items to be paid for using BTC IRL.

Hmmm I don't know about AFK, but for me.. it allows me the possibility to purchase things abroad online without any troubles. So in a way, bitcoin is the lazy solution to visa for me  Smiley
