Same here. Dug in a little and found that it's using a self-signed certificate. From an e-commerce site I might be worried, with this one I'm assuming the site is making a political statement about the centralization of control of trust on the internet.

> self-signed certificate.

Maybe it is, we can’t tell. Maybe the NSA signed it.

Self-signed certificates can’t be trusted unless you have some way of independently verifying then.

The site redirects you to https.

EDIT: Firefox redirects to https.

I don't think that's correct. I curled it just to make sure and wasn't met with a redirect.

Edit: Ah, firefox redirects you to https. I'm using chrome.
