BFL aside, I think this is pretty excellent.  Overstock and TigerDirect taking Bitcoin?  We've been waiting for events like this.

Guy's what do you think Sad is it good for BTC or will it bring TigerDirect down to the ground!

TigerDirect.com is going to sponsor BFL soon... http://www.tigerdirect.com/bitcoin/indexus.asp?cm_re=Homepage-_-Spot%2001a-_-CatId_campaign_bitcoinTakeover, click Mining tab and scroll down an inch.

I don't think 'sponsor' is the correct term. They are resellers of BFL products. If BFL can't deliver to TigerDirect than the store will only show 'out of stock' ... big deal.

My guess tigerdirect gets their devices slightly less delayed than normal bfl customers. Either way the only outcome will be many people ripped off (tiger direct and its customers) and a shitload of return/refunds.

Ripped off? How? TigerDirect will make an order for BFL products. When they arrive it gets put into the store. If they don't ever arrive, they never make it to the store to sell in the first place. And if there are returns from customers, TigerDirect will just return the item to BFL.

Do you honestly think TigerDirect takes the hit for all the products returned? really?

One does not simply return an item to BFL.

no, YOU don't simply return an item to BFL.

Ok so you are telling me tigerdirect is going to order a bunch of monarchs and should they not be able to sell them, get a refund? BFL's business model does not allow for this. Tigerdirect will end up with a bunch of useless paperweights like everyone else while supporting a company that has scammed like half the bitcoin community.

Typically wholesalers (in this case BFL) float the retailers (in this case TigerDirect) and I'm sure TD is used to working in this manner. If it doesn't fit BFL, well than it's BFL's problem not TigerDirect.

Now you will just have someone to complain to if they don't ship immediately.

What? No refunds?

Call TigerDirect. Delist. End of Story.

TigerDirect's parent company does $3.5 billion of sales in computer gear a year. I think they have this shit figured out.

Would be funny if someone threw together a bunch of examples from this forum of how the COO of BFL often interacts with their customers in a public forum and send them to Tiger Direct.  I am wondering if he will call all Tiger Direct customers monumental assholes soon, nah probably not, even Inaba isn't that fucking stupid...!!

TigerDirect is big enough they might get better service.  Will be interesting if BFL sells through them.  If we see monarch.... we know big mistake.  If we see only instock all depends on price.
Pfft. TigerDirect isn't bigger than the bitcoin mining community. After all BFL products are aimed at miners, I don't see why BFL would give them better service if TigerDirect customers are just avid gamers. They should care more about giving us better service because we're the one actually using it and giving the reviews and recommending people on which hardware to get.
