I used to get topup codes for Virgin mobile prepaid cell service for a 6% discount using bitcoins over credit, but Virgin sold out the US brand to Sprint and that changed. So I can't really offer you a current example, but it sounds to me that there is a profit opprotunity there. Become the online shoe salesman that accepts bitcoin.

I'm trying to find some nice examples of X:

"The cheapest you can buy X online and pay with your credit card is > the cheapest you can buy X online with bitcoin."

Specifically, I'm looking for physical goods, not digital.

Theory being, people like to save money, and I'd like to be able to show people, "look! You can buy this with bitcoin and pay less!"

I went looking and had a hard time finding good examples. What gave me the idea was my sister posting something on facebook about buying shoes for her kids on Amazon. My first thought was, "let me see if there's anybody selling shoes for bitcoin at better prices," but I couldn't find any (they don't seem to have any shoes at bitcoinshop.us, I didn't really look much farther than that). But that led me to this more general inquiry.

Any specific examples where the savings are notable?
