Title: "Shit I can afford" button
Post by: Doublewire on February 28, 2012, 07:55 pm
Simple enough: a filter for items less than or equal to the number of bitcoins that are currently in my account.  This would also be nice to have in each category: a "filter out things I can't afford button". I'm sure many people like me just scan over most bulk/higher priced items because we know we'll never have that much expendable cash at once.

I think this is a great idea (for me). The only problem I see is many people like to keep their bitcoins outside of their SR account until they're making a purchase,  so it would be useless for them (I don't know if this is practiced by the majority or just the people with a lot of bitcoins)

I like the idea of being able to refine the results by limiting an upper price.

This is an amazing idea!!  You guys should definitely consider implementing this!

I think this is a great idea too.  But I think that instead of being tied to your btc wallet, you should be able to just plug in an  max. amount that you are willing to spend and see the results.

I always have a btc or two left over from my purchases and it would be great to be able to blow it on something small without having to poke around or before its value goes down.

check the hash section, it's great for those odd leftover bitcoins and when your real stash runs out it's great to fall back on some beautiful hash...

Awesome idea.

I think a filter by price would be somewhat better, thus people who keep their BTC in and out of SR can enjoy the feature :)

Yeah, I concur that a sort by price feature would be the most useful manifestation of this idea.

You used to be able to sort by price but it never seemed to work properly, at least it didn't for me. Plus I know of one vendor that priced by the gram but had a 5g minimum limit so it skewed the results.

Excellent idea Doublewire, I think this would be an excellent addition to SR.

This would be great, i was really surprised my first time browsing that something like that wasn't already implemented.
