Heck yes

At www.bitcoinworldmarket.com we have over 2000 pet products. We have most of the major brands and are excited to offer pet owners all over the world a place to shop with bitcoin!

It really does seem like any idea of selling a service or product online has to be viable with normal currencies to even
have a chance of working with BTC. So first things first, get that part in order. You can only count on the novelty
factor and goodwill for so long.

Second, when selling a product online that is clearly available locally without paying shipping is a huge negative
for possible success. Take cat supplies for example. I can get cans of food to feed my cat at 50 cents a pop during
a normal sale when I stock up. It is relatively heavy and bulky. Kitty litter is even worse when talking about shipping.
Why would I want to pay more to buy it from you? So scratch that idea out. It is doomed to fail and has been attempted
before by companies with very deep pockets or VC funding. pets.com anyone?

Now what might work is a pet store selling cat supplies I cannot find locally. These would be super unique toys, the
fanciest of treats, proven to work health products, etc... Basically a cat lover's wet dream of a website for pampered
pussies. But something like that takes a lot of work organizational wise versus what I am seeing today from websites
selling generic products I can get at a local corner store. Buying condoms or a USB thumb drive with BTC? Really? That
is the best they could dream up?

If you plan to attempt something like this I would gather up a handful of people to bounce ideas off of in private to determine
if you are wasting your time or not. After all, blab a good idea in this forum and you will basically have a competitor the next day.

I disagree for the most part, fcmatt. I'll outline why in my next post on this thread after I get this humorous one out of my head.

Will your store carry Purina Alpaca Chow?



On a second read, I don't disagree as much as I thought but will still quote your post to state my case.

GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD! I had/have the same idea about B&M businesses acting as private exchanges, thereby getting more foot traffic into their physical stores. Small businesses that normally may not get much foot traffic, yet viable enough that their able to keep their doors open.

Flower Shops
Bait Shops
Small Antique Stores
VHS Rental Stores
LP Resale Stores
Used Book Stores
Used Shoe Stores
Your Local Corner Bar that has Karaoke

Feel free to add to the list.

New and Used Car Lots
Amish Bakery
Private Peep Show Venues
Small Hotels, Motels, Inns, and B&B's

Great Video!

BTW, that's where I got my new pet:



I traded in Oggly:

Do I smell Fish Porn? NSFW



Seriously, he could sell these aquarium stands on his site to cater to the pet fish lover:

I could use some puppy pads...
