Thinking of moving the update time to noon each day EST instead of midnight EST - any objections to this move?
How does the international shipping work, do you offer full shipping tracking and which shipping service do you use ?
He's using a site like dealextreme, and just ordering them, and putting in your shipping address, they usually come from china, but most of the parts are well made. They don't offer tracking (or very limited) as it can take a while to get there.
Pretty much - though on larger orders there is a tracking system automatically added - I am not sure what the price range cutoff is, but in the case of yesterdays MicroSD card that was also going for 2.00 BTC, those orders did include tracked Air Service. Oddly, it seems that yesterdays orders are in status packaging, while other sales even from day 1 aren't in that stage yet
Reaching out to them now and will update everyone's orders today with a note on the status...
Yeah, that's happened to me before as well, they said it depends how backlogged they are, and whether they have them in stock or are waiting for their supplier.
Well - I am working with my other supplier now to figure out how to handle worldwide shipping... it would be US based so I have some logistics to work out - but got my credit approved, and now just trying to make that happen. The DX route made sense for now (and occasionally may still make sense) but this will have better deals on higher end products (as an example, I have compared the prices on products woot.com has offered with those from my supplier, and there is room to undercut woot while still making a slight profit).
Oh alright sweet.
/offtopic I now have 2 bitcoins. I'm not sure whether I should be happy or sad...
A nice site, however wouldn't it be better to inject BTC payments into existing auction sites?
I mean for the success of Bitcoins it needs to reach the masses. While it's cool for someone to build a business based on BTC, this remains a tiny niche in the market.

I think the overall success of Bitcoins will require more businesses to work on top of ot in conjunction with the Bitcoin currency. Aution sites make sense in this scheme, but it will require actual retailers and other business models to work with as well to show proof of concept to other businesses that they can succeed while changing from a fiat currency. Currently the niche of the market is the fact that sites are accepting Bitcoins - and in our best interests (whether as long term investments or get quick rich speculators) to make sure that the exposure to Bitcoins is as large as possible - so expanding to all niches is a good thing (especially if it's on the "legal" side of business practices - not that I disagree with other sites - but it's a different type of exposure that Bitcoins need).
Yes that's right. I just wanted to point out that this alone does not suffice.

Of course. Go do it and keep us up to date with your progress.

Awesome idea.
Would love to hear from the community as to what products they are looking for. Make your suggestions and I will see what I can do in the future

For those hitting refresh at midnight - the site was mistakingly showing the cost at 2.20 BTC when it was supposed to be 2.00 BTC. This has been fixed - sorry for the mistake!
I will keep an eye out for something I might like, so far very decent deal(s) for really cheap.
Wanted to give a big thanks to our first day customers as well as twitter followers - glad this is working out so far!
Just watched the site automatically rollover for product #2 for day 2 (wanting to make sure it works right
) - a 0.34 BTC brushless cooling fan for video cards - something more appropriate for the immediate community I hope

"This web site does not supply ownership information."
"This web site does not supply ownership information."
Seems that the certificate was valid, but that nginx doesn't perform certificate chaining which throws FF off. Fixed now.
Oh yeah, you have to cat your chain file and your certificate. I dimly remember having to do something like this.

3.6? Thats like a millennium old now! FF5 beta is out
I prefer Chrome - and on this particular machine I am on now I rarely used it for development (i.e. FireBug). Will check on one of my other machines after my morning coffee.
Yeah, I use chrome aswell, just saying that 3.6 is outdated
