Do you think newegg would have honored purchases during the mtgox crash?
Of course they would. They would make a fortune. The value of a bitcoin fell.

It would be great if Newegg supported bitcoin.  Especially for international orders.

there are a few sites that allow you to buy from newegg using bitcoin.. but yeah they should take it but good luck with that.

A lot of venders arent satisfied that the bitcoin has stabilized in price and that makes pricing things a bit, tricky.

anyways there is bitspend.com and bitegg.net which allow you to use your bitcoins on newegg

I highly doubt they're going to consider it until the market is more stable or rising. As of now buying or accepting bitcoins is quite a gamble. Your best bet is going to be in a well laid out explanation of what the currency is and a well written list of logical reasons as to why it would be beneficial to their company. You're going to have to make the market sound good. The important thing is you get a petition with as many people as you can though, there is always safety in numbers.

Anyway, goodluck. I hope it one day happens.

No, I agree, make the request. In fact, I would suggest you gather all the necessary details that you use, like the contact info and a short message and post it back in this thread or another. Maybe if there are enough requests they will take it seriously.

It would be awesome if they did, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I'm going to send them a email requesting they add bitcoin.

Any thoughts before I do.
