6 Things That Are Massively Overpriced If You Buy Them In Bitcoin

In the past 24 hours, the value of Bitcoin has surged more than 26 percent, and now stands at $236.

As you can imagine, some merchants are having trouble keeping up

Inspired by NYMag's Kevin Roose, here are some items from BTCZone.com whose prices are lagging Bitcoin's exploding value.

This bike — admittedly, a pretty sweet-looking one — now costs $644.28.

Amazon price: up to $500.

This iPhone 5 now costs $1,158.76; the iPhone 4, $717.44.

Amazon price: $702 and $445, respectively.

iPhone boombox: $337.48.

Amazon price: $210.

These last two are particularly egregious. Here's a Canon zoom lens: $3,188.36.

Amazon price: $1,149.

And while we admire and appreciate Tom Verlaine's contributions to punk, we're not sure a digital download of Television's seminal album "Marquee Moon" is worth $18.88.

ITunes price: $9.99.
