Yeah, that's a folding bike and I'm not looking for something like that. I'm also a semi-frequent Newegg user and have browsed their site for bikes. The thing with Newegg is that they only accept bitcoin if the item is sold by Newegg itself, and most stuff is sold by independent vendors. I tried to buy one of those classic NES systems with bitcoin but when I got to the checkout the "pay with bitcoin" option was gone. All the other things I've bought with bitcoin there were sold by Newegg.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. I do appreciate it.
It might be worth your while talking to the owner of a local store and just ask if they accept BTC,
That's already been suggested and answered:
You could always try inquiring in your local area - you never know, you might be able to convince a small independent retailer to let you pay in bitcoin.
I'm not a good negotiator and don't have great interpersonal skills, so I doubt I'd be able to convince a local bike shop to take bitcoin if they don't normally do so.
Edit:
Awwwww, man!! That is
exactly the kind of shop I'm looking for! Though I probably won't end up buying a bike from them (expecially with the expense of shipping an already-expensive bike from Germany), I'll bookmark their site just in case--and yeah, I saw that
BTC symbol down at the bottom where they list their payment methods. Thanks for that find!
