Title: BitCoin Value Vs. Vendors Prices-will they get 'fair and equal"- frustrated
Post by: seventoes on March 02, 2013, 03:18 pm
HI---yes newbie here and this may be more stupid newbie rantings but its killing me—financially.  I need  to know if there is any relief in sight.  I was so happy and excited to find SR--although it was very expensive, I desperately needed to replace the 40mg metha a day for chronic pain I'd been taking for last 3 years and I was/AND STILL AM, dying to get a fabulous high from some H.  So I accepted the 19.00 dollar BTC price for the privileges and I got 5 BTC (not nearly enough) and started my cart.  I found a somewhat decent price for my metha pills week one, but lost him after a week. Following week need more coins which I had to pay $8 now.  I’m watching vendors and items closely and I notice that some vendors prices are going up slightly instead of down.  Makes me frustrated and  I still haven’t found the excellent H.  Surely prices will get in line with the BTC and come down soon?  I’m still looking for a permanent supplier and/or a comparable replacement product (AND  H!)  Now I need more BTC and this time they are over $35 A BTC…the price has almost doubled now over the course of the month! When are the vendor prices going lower??  I've spent well over 700 so far, couple more in escrow, and none of the Vendors I've been watching, waiting for their prices to drop, have dropped anything.  I notice many vendor prices are higher in BTC , which don’t match the dollar pricing or verbage.   Some say  (EX) "selling at 20 a piece..best price around" etc, only they are NOT at that price or near it.  I'm paying 35 a BTC because that’s the value now—When will they?  WILL THE VENDORS  LOWER PRICES  and help the buyers with real time pricing?  It makes me feel bad because the price is already too high.  How long will it take? (and still looking for killer H0

I am sorry to hear about your frustration man, BTC's stability was like the beginning of a roller coaster last month,  way more unstable than it usually is (having said that it is still pretty unstable for a currency). Although I think you will find given a closer look that most vendors peg there pricing to the USD not BTC, so the prices are adjusted automatically.
I hope you find the right vendor/s that you are looking for.
