Pay in BTC and get a discount?
Whaaaaaaaa?!?!???
I thought it was pretty awesome too
So with the crazy moon of STEEM I transferred some liquids I had been saving to buy a Microsoft Surface, so I can get better with my digital art, and develop that skill.... anyways.... I was looking at the different ways I could spend crypto to buy the surface and found this GEM
PURSE.IO
shameless referral link for 5 bucks
So I looked there, and I found exactly what I wanted! Not only that, but a bunch of different options from different sellers! There was an option that was a few bucks cheaper from a private seller, but I wanted to have it shipped thru Amazon.

It works just like any other shopping site, but it has a built in BTC wallet. I sent the BTC there, and once It arrived my order was approved, and sent to "escrow". Once verified that my item has been delivered those BTC will be released to the "seller". So far I haven't seen a great way to spend crypto, and this is one of the best I've seen so far. The discount helps pay for the fees, and helps me not think about the fact that I am spending an appreciating asset.
I BOUGHT A THING!!! WOOOO!!!
Dude, that's pretty rad. Can't really complain about getting a discount like that, and I think it's sweet you can use your BTC to directly buy something cool like a tablet :D
Hope you enjoy that surface pro, man! Make sure to make a post on it once it arrives and you get it all set up. Or else. Or else what? Exactly.
Yeah. You can basically get anything on amazon :)
So wait, I saw the part where you mentioned an Amazon seller, but maybe I'm just confused. Does this site just act as a buyer on your behalf and pay them in cash and once you get the item and it's fine they take the BTC themselves, or does the seller of the item have to link their listing onto this site and then the seller themselves actually get the BTC instead of just FIAT once you have the item?
If you can actually just buy anything on Amazon with this website and it doesn't have to be specific things then I'm going to start using this for sure, lol.
Ya. I just typed what i wanted and a bunch of results popped up. Pretty simple. Check out the site for sure man. Whats crazy is you can pick an item and "name your discount" upto 33% and a "seller" could choose to fulfill it.
Yes, purse.io is awesome! I've bought a few things on there myself. I will say, in the past I've had orders cancelled for no seller picking it, I think because I chose a discount that was on the higher end. I've had orders fulfilled fastest with 10-20% discount set. Thanks for sharing, @saywha, purse is a bit of a hidden crypto gem.
For sure. I just picked the buy now option and took the quick 5% off haha
Definitely! I bought my wacom on purse. It feels too good to be true - no, that's crypto ☺
This is awesome, thank you for a great post!
Nice! I still have my Surface Pro 3. Lovely machines.
Awesome as always. #BIGBALLIN #POWERUP #STEEMON
Damn, what a find!
Cryptocurrencies will be big thing in 2018. Even giving discounts now lol
