the site is great and it would be great for bitcoin if it'd stay alive.

My two cents with bitcoinstore
ordered a video card, then found out the bitcoin address I had to send payment to was only good for 15 mintues.
WTH?
Stupid
I was gonna pay by withdrawing bitcoins from sealswithclubs but since they did this 15 m thing I couldn't.
Did Bitcoinstore meet its target? Let me guess: No

What do you expect with a volatile currency? That they leave the price fixed for an entire week or a day? Then a lot of people would be speculating, opening orders, and only paying for them if the bitcoin price went down afterwards. Lots of open orders that are never payed,reserved items that have to be classified as out of stock while they are not etc. . Not a very workable situation, imho.

We did well enough that our pricing tier has not changed, so we are still able to offer the cheapest prices of just about anywhere.
We get lots of orders each day from around the world, and are happy to continue supporting our customers.

it may be the wrong sort of business for btc at this time
exchanges and money remittance is where BTC can out compete due to its natural advantage.
Remittance to a target country would clean up inmho

I don't think it is the wrong sort of business. Honestly most franchises and startups are lucky to hit break even after two to three years. Most people in the Bitcoin space have highly compressed expectations. With slow natural growth I find it unlikely bitcoinstore won't be solidly profitable in 2016.

and the big fact that there is a 3000+ que long at mtgox
I am very intrigued by this statement. How do we find out the backlog at Mt Gox? Thanks.
We didn't find out, MagicalTux said so.

Just to add to your worries .. Btc went from 95 to 87 in 4 hours.. You are missing out on cheap btc.... the backlog guys

People who claim to see the long term potential of bitcoin yet seem to totally fail to appreciate the fact that we're bootstrapping the world's first decentralized currency from nothing to global scale....annoy me. It's like you expected the infrastructure, professionalism, network effects, and scale handling to magically come out of nowhere all at once, and now you're disappointed and therefore trollish. As someone who's worked almost exclusively for startups, I appreciate that it's hard. It takes A LOT of work, drive, and passion to execute even when the idea is phenomenal.
Indeed, it's actually quite impressive how much great work is getting done in the bitcoin ecosystem, and the speed at which things are maturing.

It does not take work or time to realize that intentionally limiting the speed at which transactions are made is a bad thing. It does not take time or work to realize that no chargebacks is actually a massive negative for the consumer AND the seller. I do see longterm potential for bitcoins I just don't see the same things you do as being the potential.Indeed, it's actually quite impressive how much great work is getting done in the bitcoin ecosystem, and the speed at which things are maturing.
If BTCstore carried a good stock of musical equipment (mpc machines/midi controllers/monitors/turn tables etc) at a low enough price from other vendors that the inconvenience of using bitcoin instead of USD was offset then I would be all over it.
Chargebacks are possible to implement within the bitcoin protocol, it's just not a standard feature implemented by the current clients.

Nothing about bitcoins prevents one-click buying.
For example you could hook into the browser, such as with a plugin, so that your bitcoins are always poised ready to automatically send coins and your delivery address on any web page that contains a "something you can buy with bitcoins" marker.
It could be like the planned Open Transactions system-tray app, always sitting in the system tray ready to do any financial stuff any app or any plug-in for any app (such as broser, skype, instant messenger, whatever) wants done. Maybe it will wait until that Open Transactions system-tray thing is in place and be just another financial asset one can handle through Open Transactions. Or maybe it will come sooner. If you think it is so important, offer a bounty to get it prioritised...

and then pay the fee myself instead of the merchant (who should be paying it) and wait an hour and then get a broken item or not get it at all and have no recourse against the merchant.For example you could hook into the browser, such as with a plugin, so that your bitcoins are always poised ready to automatically send coins and your delivery address on any web page that contains a "something you can buy with bitcoins" marker.

Bitcoin is an unnecessary middle man between consumer and supplier which adds extra layers of complexity and wait and also costs more to use once all is said and done while also offering zero buy protections for the customer. It doesn't have to be this way but as it stands that's how it is.
