Was there a mark up on the price while paying with BTC?

Paying directly with Bitcoin is one of the easiest, fastest, and most secure payment methods. Not only that, it's actually enjoyable to know you are in full control of your money.

 

Overstock only accepts Bitcoin for US customers for the time being.

 

 

If you're wanting to try spending a small amount of Bitcoins to see how it works as a payment network, try and grab the latest humble bundle

For a long time now, I've tried to use Bitcoin for all my day to day purchases. I highly recommend others to try the same. Most people don't know how well Bitcoin works as a payment network, instead they use it for speculation or just to move it in and out of exchanges for fiat.

 

To remain bullish and still spend your Bitcoins, use a local exchange and hold a float with them. When you spend Bitcoins, buy back that same amount. This allows you to remain secure and pseudonymous without revealing any banking info to retailers. 

 

 

 

There should be no mark up when making purchases in Bitcoin. If anything, it should be cheaper due to savings in transaction costs and no counterparty risks of charge backs. If you want to use your Bitcoins on Amazon or many other places, you can purchase Gift cards from Gyft and save 3% by using Bitcoin. Retailers should (likely wont for awhile) pass the savings onto the customers who use Bitcoin.

 

Prices can appear to be marked up, or down depending on what exchange you are looking at to get the price. Try getting an average price https://bitcoinaverage.com/#USD-nomillibit

Thanks for posting this, it inspired me to try it out. I used the coinbase app on my phone to pay, VERY smooth process.

I wanted to go to Tiger Direct (store) today but they closed down and I think they are going online only. They used to be Comp-Usa but then the name changed (or they got bought out I don't know), I don't know how well they are doing business wise but I like there service. Where I live they don't have any computer stores except for Tiger Direct and Best Buy.
