Auctions for anything in person would be great. E.g house and car sales are usually fixed via a bank transfer that has a settlement period. Why not transact with BTC and drive away no more to pay!

I think at the moment bitcoin is used predominantly for virtual goods and services and trading. There are of course people who buy pizza with bitcoin, but I think it is mostly done for promoting the pizza shop and others like that.

We don't offer hookers, blow, or 'drugs' (the kind governments don't like), but you can find just about anything else... in case you're still looking for something to buy with BTC. :-)

https://spendabit.co/

Edit: I should mention it's a search engine -- not a store; we don't sell the products ourselves.

Anything that will generally produce income in terms of bitcoin should be paid for in bitcoin. If it will not produce bitcoin directly then it should be paid for in fiat.

Look like hoarders usually spend it on "investment" or mining.

i would think anything where you want to shield off your identity a bit (anonymity withstanding). like adult entertainment stuff. or maybe shady-ish websites where you don't trust them with your CC info.

Definitely industries with high chargeback rates. Adult entertainment/porn, for instance, faces this issue, so I would think that these types of places would take to bitcoin.
I think this would apply more to merchants then to buyers. However it is a great idea to sell these things with bitcoin as it would likely allow merchants to charge less, and buyers to pay less.

That's true. Although, these are also the types of things you wouldn't want showing up on your credit card bill. With bitcoin, you can retain your anonymity and keep your CC info safe.

Mining machine.

For normal item, it is cheaper if you pay in cash or credit card.

Sometimes it's not best to purchase using your bitcoins. If you can purchase your goods with fiat that would be ideal, I hate when I buy something one day and the next I over paid because the rate went up. Obviously this could work in your favor to but we know bitcoin doesn't drop often.   Smiley

For MERCHANTS everything

a. zero fees
b. no charge backs

For buyers

a. discounts are used often with btc by merchants
b. use of a digital currency that is anonymous not trace if done right
c. no currency exchanging if you are often in different countries

Negatives for buyers if you deal with a bad merchant you lose.

Negatives for everyone is hacking of wallets and accounts so proper understanding of the net is essential if you keep a lot of money in wallets.

Should you have all your money in wallets? Not right now, the market could disappear over night, not likely to, but who knows.

I'm trying to see what items are best purchased with bitcoin given it's properties, ie, being irreversible. Mining gear seems like a big one, as Ebay supposedly sides with buyers who wish to return after 2 weeks. What other items could this apply to?
