Hi!

I have ~400$ in my amazon gift card balance that I'm looking to turn into cash, so I'm offering to buy stuff from any amazon wishlist in return for BTC. Send me a PM if you're interested or post here if you have any questions.

EDIT: Rate is 5.9 $/BTC  (that's equivalent to a 8.4% discount using the latest market price)

Oh, I use Amazon all the time.  I wish I had seen this one last week, I spent over $200 in a single sitting, and that wasn't even my only order that day.  Would this also work for kindle e-books?

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

I don't think so...  Undecided

according to this you can't buy kindle books from someone else's wishlist.



Love your avatar btw : )

Is there some sort of benefit and/or restriction to buying from someones wish list?

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

afaik Amazon doesn't have any restrictions on what you can buy from someone's wishlist. and I can't think of any restrictions that I would like to add (is that what you meant ?).

I can buy stuff myself, but I would rather have the $$/BTC.

Oh, I just got what you meant.

I already applied the gift cards to my account when I got them, that's all : |

ahhh, yea. I probably could have phrased my question better.

Will have to do some homework on there to see if I can find a digital Diablo 3 for sale some place on Amazon. If so I will likely hit you up on it.

cheers

OK, I was going to wait until this thread closed before bumping, but since he already got 3 offers...

New rate is 5.9 $ to 1 BTC.

Just popping in to say that I ordered Diablo 3 thru Jerome. He was very quick to get back to me on questions(which I usually have too many of) and shipped the game out to me asap.

Thanks again,
 Derek

I have exactly $282 left.

Let me know if this amount is (slightly) less than what you wanted. We could work something out.

Don't give up, m8. I may be in need of something else from Amazon here in the next day or so.

I acquired a $300 item with this offer from JeromeS. Everything went very smoothly and would definitely do business with him again in the future.
