Just checked the website. No discount for BTC, I call shenanigans Sad

And Amagi Metals is known for shady business practices (quick bitcointalk search shows this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1456781.0 as second result), so you buy with $1311.37 worth of BTC & get a brick in the mail 3 months later, SFYL. With CC? No prob, get your money back

I'm not sure what you are looking at? They most certainly do offer a discount for cash sales, including bitcoin. I have bought as much as 10oz. at a time and saved thousands. This is also true at Overstock and most retailers who take bitcoin. Check again.

I'm looking at their website, https://www.amagimetals.com/ Please show me how to get my BTC discount. If you claim that you got cash discount, pay cash, problem solved, no need to buy bitcoins and pay exchange fees.

Just go to the website and... Never mind here is an SS:
The high price is what you pay, the low price is what bitcoiners pay

You may think you are not paying for the Tx, but Visa is not a charity and someone MUST pay.

Sure somebody pays. It's not the customer though, it's the merchant. The same merchant that doesn't give me a discount for using BTC.

Quote from: Me in this post

The customer always pays. Every other entity in the deal is there to make money. It may not be on the tag, but it has to be factored into the price. If the merchant is not sharing the benefit of using BTC then I ~~would~~ complain.

Most of the businesses I have helped to accept BTC have gone with a payment processor like BitPay. They take 1% as a fee, which is 1/3 the cost of a visa Tx

But BitPay also doesn't offer the most important service Visa provides: BitPay will not give you your money back when Amagi screws you.

I would be vary wary of this company. Customer service is terrible and behavior is extremely suspect. I had ordered from them once previously and had some minor issues but overall the order was fine. Now however, the number is disconnected and they do not really answer customer service inquiries. I would not do any business with this company.

CAUTION!!! This company sent out another customers personal information via email to me. Probably a mistake but COME ON ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! This information in the hand of the wrong person, you know nothing good will come of that! In one of Amagi Metals email reply to me was another customers personal information. I called that customer and warned him what had happened. Customer service is nonexistent. Amagi did not answer any of the questions I sent them. Yes they replied to each email as if they had never read the email I sent. I requested for my funds to be returned. NEVER HAPPENED!!! They would not answer my requests. I tried for 4 days in a row to call them via telephone with no luck as the number listed on their website and their fax number were out of service.

Beware! Criminal behavior by this company! Phone number has been disconnected, company is out of business, and company is not fulfilling orders nor answering emails anymore! However, they are stealing people's money who place orders with them online and then pay with Bitcoin or check.

I can't say much about Amaigi's business. Other that they have handled tens of thousands of dollars of my BTC and have come through every time. If they did try something illegal then Tony (BitPay) would drop them. BitPay is a good business I trust, but it's not their job to settle disputes. If I wanted money back I would use the courts.
If Amagi is your concern then try http://www.jmbullion.com or https://www.bitgold.com. You will see the same discount.
What you are talking about now is a business that takes BTC and not BTC itself. You are overpaying compared to those of us who use bitcoin.
