Anyone know if it would be that simple?It's certainly possible for vendors to "hedge" their sales by paying a fee (I think around 4%) to protect against the possibility that by the time the sale is finalised (which can be weeks later) there Bitcoins will still have the same value dollar for dollar. Not sure how many of them choose this option? You could achieve much the same thing yourself though by lodging your coins with a Bitcoin exchange like Intersango and having an open sell order which says if your Bitcoins drop below a certain value (i.e the price you originally paid for them) then they should be sold for cash. You won't make back all your money as there's a margin of around 2-3% between the bid/sell prices on any exchange but it should protect you against any significant losses. If any of you need help to do this, please by all means send me a message.Alternatively you can do as I said above and only order as many Bitcoins as you need (or as geedog says plus 1 or 2 extra to be on the safe side) - if you place your order straight away I find it hard to believe you'd lose more than a dollar or two.V.
