There is currently a $1,000 order minium during our beta launch. (This will be removed soon)
I will buy some stuff once this is removed.
will you ship to Canada?
I checked and they do. Expect to pay in the neighborhood of $90 for shipping minimum. They are using Federal Express and private couriers are just awful for shipping internationally. They really need to use USPS for international orders to deal with these outrageous shipping costs.

Hope thhis is a game changer to bitcoin .

I don't know where are you getting your international shipping prices from, but someone is stealing, if not you, the shipping company.
$300 to ship a laptop to Europe, really?
A flat rate USPS box that can fit a laptop costs $55...

Great initiative! Can't wait till the beta ends; the $1000 minimum and $110 shipping costs are absurd. Also the site is slow, randomly empties your cart, and displays USD. All beta issues I hope...

It's redirecting to the Magento Install script now:
http://www.bitcoinstore.com/index.php/install/
Which I'm fairly certain is something I should not have access to

In order to maintain these competitive prices, I will need to sell more than $800K USD worth of goods per quarter, so please place your orders and help spread the word!
If a user buys $1000 worth of computer supplies every three months then:
$800,000 / $1000 = 800
It would only take 800 orders per quarter. Seems doable in the long run. Hopefully sooner than later.

Nice thing Roger, hope it works!
Comparative advertising is legal in the USA right? I think you can put more weight on that. Make price comparisons of feautured products on your front page, like you did in this OP.
Also, I was trying to find "iphone 5" and was not able to. I dont know whether you have that on shelf or not but to grind through 31k results is impossible, even organizing according to price is no better if you have pages of 50k+ USD and under 5 USD results it would take forever to get to the iphone 5 price segment. If you try the same thing on amazon its also a bit of a hassle, but there you have more categories to narrow your search down to, like showing only Apple products for example. Maybe you could improve on that before going out of beta.
One more thing, when I selected "show all results" on the upper left bar it froze. I presume the server tried to create a page for me with all 31k results on it. You could solve that problem (I think) if you only showed all the results one currently views on screen, like in google picture search.
Cheers

I got an error trying to access this page: http://www.bitcoinstore.com/pcslaptops/portable-computers.html
But after refreshing it a few times it came up.
Additionally - I would just call the category Laptops&Tablets, not "portable computers."
