Hmm interesting business tactics.
Offers here to first bid of 1.5btc. Get several offers, so ups the price to 1.6btc.
Posts instead on ebay. Sells for 3000usd within 3 hours of listing. Less 10% ebay and 3% paypal fees, 2610usd. At current exchange rate: ~1.5btc.
Interesting how? He did likely didn't get any offers here, hence the trip to eBay. He did exactly what he told us he was going to do if he didn't get any serious offers at 1.6btc.
Getting fiat from ebay is a much easier transaction that getting bitcoin and having to exchange it. If this guy was selling his coin he likely wanted to divest his bitcoin holdings anyway.
