As I have seen, their prices are way off. I wouldn't care if they lived or died. Bitcoin needs DECENT webshops around!
Helping a company like this, will not help bitcoin at all.

Why would anyone help them?

They need to hit the target only to maintain the vendor contract with Ingram Micro so that they can have access to the lowest tier of wholesale prices. So this push makes sense. After this, the store can sink or swim on its own.

A brand new business has already pulled in $110,000 in revenue? That is amazing cash flow for a brand new company. They should be proud.
Starting a new company and expecting first months cash flow to be almost a million dollars is a bit too ambitious. Maybe they should get venture capital if they want to grow that fast.

It's not up to us to support someone else's ridiculously ambitious project. There is a word for that and it's not looked upon favorably on these forums...
Additionally, I personally don't support rampant consumerism, so no I will not be buying anything I don't absolutely need.

If their business model depends on getting big results straight off the bat, then it might be a bit unrealistic really. Shouldn't they be aiming to grow into their potential?
At any rate, I will be checking them out after I'm done moving.

I agree with you, but consider the field there working in, prices depend on sales-volume, sales depend on competitive prices. There really is no grow-gradually option in electronics, it's go big or go home. I personally would not have the balls for a such approach, but can most certainly have respect for someone having.
I'd also like to add that in my opinnion we can attribute a dollar or two of the current exchange rate to bitcoinstore... and should they succeed who knows 5-10$. A purchase from them now can also be considered a long term investment to bitcoin.

I have kind of mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I would be very happy if Bitcoinstore managed to reach their goal. On the other hand, I feel they should be able to do this "on their own" without extra community efforts.
Anyway, for me, being an international customer, the problem is after including shipping, VAT and import tax, my domestic alternatives are usually more competitive.
But I really hope that they succeed in their $850k goal, as that would be a significant milestone for Bitcoin!

Feels like their sales are exaggerated

I support this cause and use this as an excuse to buy some stuff

Very important thread! I thought exactly the same thing yesterday, and I am already feeling sad if the $850k goal doesn't get reached. Everyone should advertise the site. You can tell them the webpage is easy to use, very good amount of different products, prices are right now cheaper than in other shops, and delivery is reliable and quite fast.
Personally I am going to order a 24" gaming monitor next week.
ps. Isokivi u should add donation-address to your sig
I'd donate u right now for starting a good thread.
Theres a donation adress right there (my e-commerce).. and I am not without my own reasons for posting this thread: If bitcoistore cant make it, what chances do small-time merchants like myself have ? Personally I am going to order a 24" gaming monitor next week.

The http://bitcoinstore.com/ front page's counter puts them at 12% of the needed goal of 850k in sales during the first quarter, the goal is needed to keep them at their current pricing. It is by far the most ambitious push for bitcoins mainstream acceptance we have so far seen. I myself have bought 364$ worth of sdd hardrives. Recieved them and am pleased with how everything went. Im browsing to find something more I could use as we speak, but I can only do so mch. If you care about bitcoin, have some and need any electronics now is the time to act. The counter currently stands at 110,964 / 850,000$. They are beating all or nearly all their competitors in prices, simply because their profit margin stands at what normally goes to creditcard companies.
Seeing the counter as low as it is makes me sort of feel ashamed for this community. We really can and most certainly should do better.

The time to act is now.
