Good to see some monero speculation here. Are there transactions that monero accepted already like bitcoin?
Saw this a few days ago. Seller offered a discount for Monero, but sold for USD via P@ypal in the end.

"I have received queries about Monero. Here's a link to HOURS and HOURS of fun reading on the subject. https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/ TL/DR? It's a peer to peer cryptocurrency. Think of it as a vastly superior Bitcoin 2.0, with enhanced security and privacy features.
If you pay in Monero, it'll be fun! You'll learn a lot about the future of money. AND you will get get a substantial discount over the USD price of the watch. And I'll ship immediately. With paypal, you will have to wait until the payment clears. And pay a higher price. Which can be fun too. for me
Edit: Sold, for 111 USD. Will continue to offer watches for Monero. It's the better way!"
Maybe... it's happening?
If I knew I might have bought - but I would have offered only 6 XMR (you know, I am the stingy guy).
High quality genuine wrist watches are cool but never pay what you are asked to pay.
Well, you would have lost then, I am guessing. Since he already offered a discount for Monero, and in the end, sold it for his asking price, in USD. Anyway, I'm going to keep an eye out to see if this idea gains traction. Might buy something, though I prefer Citizens and G-Shocks, myself.
Actually my first offer is -50 % from the asking but then I am "generous" and pay 75 % of the asking price.
Often I am not able to buy anything but whenever someone wants to sell I make a good deal.
If people start to selling good stuff in Moneros I am sure I am able to bargain something interesting.
Actually, things like this create value for the coin (most likely the seller is not going to dump Moneros any time soon but rather wait patiently once the price skyrockets and the buyer probably will replace the Moneros thus creating demand).
