How could you expect to sell it at an adequate price, given that you're not posting on a German real estate forum, but in the international (English-speaking) section of Bitcoin forums? I know that many houses are sold on eBay in a similar way but this is not even eBay!

I mean, that was your decision, and you are free to sell whatever you own in any way you want, but you must understand that it's a kind of urgent sale and in this case the price will most probably be times less than the market price.
