I have noticed, particularly coke vendors, are setting their prices as btc rather than dollars so they making more money because of the slightly voliatile market at the moment. For example I have had 1 gram in my basket since monday waiting to get btc. On wednesday the dollar price of it was $114 today it is $131 but the entire time it was 12 btc and there seems to be alot of vendors doing the same. Is this really fair to the buyers? I made a deposit to intersango on monday and just got the btc today but because of the rise in btc prices and the fact the price of what i want hasn't changed in btc terms I'm now over 1btc short which is fucking annoying.Vendors have the option either to peg the prices of items they list to the USD/BTC rate as per Mtgox (which is updated daily I believe) or to set prices in BTC.There are a number of advantages in the former approach as that way they vendor and the buyer are clear on the exact price they need however there is also a risk that the vendor will lose out too as the BTC may drop in value between the time they list the item and the time they actually receive the coins (this is where "hedging" comes in but more on that later...)Having said this if vendors are capitalising on the mounting Bitcoin, you can do the same. Ordering a couple more Bitcoins that you need means you'll have a better chance of being able to afford the products you need and any coins you have left over will appreciate in value for your next order.V.
