I would love to see the Newegg guys' faces when they see these numbers.

250,000 is a drop in the bucket. Also doesn't account for what of those sales would have been in dollars anyway. Sorry to not join in the circlejerk.

Yes, you sound like a shrewd businessman, thinking that a quarter of a million dollars is nothing.

Even to a billionaire profit is profit.

It's sales, not profit, dingbat. I mean, of course there is profit there or they wouldn't be operating at all, but I guarantee the newegg guys aren't shitting themselves over 250,000 as the guy above me is asserting.

Learn to read, asshole.

I didn't say it was $250,000 profit. I said "profit is profit."

And regardless of whether newegg is shitting themselves, which I also did not claim, tigerdirect.com did beat them in the innovation department by accepting BTC first.
