Hahahaha quite true

We've been messed about twice now trying to sell in the Marketplace section of BitcoinTalk.org
In both cases, a person offered a price, we accepted and then the buyer went cold at the stage of going to Escrow.com

A trusted BitcoinTalk member inboxed me and suggested trying an online auction instead so I wanted to reach out and ask which auction host do BitcoinTalk members prefer for Bitcoin related items?

The item we're selling is a premium bitcoin domain name (and a bitcoin website but most people are interested in just the catchy 6 character domain name).
So our best options for this would usually be Sedo or GoDaddy auctions (but if anyone has a better option in mind, I'd be happy to hear about it).

What I'd really like to know is.. which auction websites do you prefer in general for all things purchased with bitcoin?

In your opinions, who 'rules' bitcoin e-commerce?
(& I mean 'rules' like the way amazon 'rules' e-commerce for most things purchased with fiat)

Well, looks like we're being messed about again by a buyer

This is the second time someone has agreed to buy and then messed us about when it came to escrow.com
If the buyer hasn't resolved by lunch time (GMT) we'll probably look into starting an auction.

I've inboxed you both

We do have a good solid offer now. The buyer said he will send funds later today via Escrow.com

But until he does, I'll still consider other offers as I've already had one guy mess me around last week.

Inboxed everyone

If you wish to make an offer, please do so in the next hour (inbox me).
We're about to agree on one of the offers we've had today.

Thank you

Inboxing everyone now 

By the way, those website valuations are very inaccurate to what people actually pay.

The domain name alone is worth much more than that if you ask a professional domain broker.

Hi, Just inboxed you

Hi,

We're selling our bitcoin website and domain name bitbay.com due to lack of funds.

The new buyer will get full copyright and ownership of everything.

Please get in touch if interested: info@bitbay.com

Will accept bitcoin or fiat

Smart! 10k bitcoin is more than enough to "be there" as you said.

My favourite reply here! lol I'd love to do that too!!

I'd spend 5-10% on bitcoin myself.
 
I'm quite surprised at how many said they would invest 50% or more into bitcoin. 
I mean, you have a million dollars.. how much more would you like to make back from investing in bitcoin?

Lets say you won the lottery..

You've just received a million dollars and are ready to do something with your new found money.

You have no CC debt to pay off and have an average mortgage for a working class citizen - maybe you have around $150,000 left to pay off for your house.

You're free to spend as you wish. And invest if you wish.

Would you buy a heap load of bitcoin to sit on?

If so.. how much?

That is interesting indeed!

Thanks TheButterZone - this is now fixed

Thanks for the tip! 

It seems to currently be case sensitive (works when using correct the case).

I'm working on a fix now.

Hi,

Try localbitcoins.com 

Sorry, wouldn't want to say tbh. But thank you!

Thank you starsoccer9.

Going to start with monbux's service but will get back to looking at others soon!

I'm finding it hard to find anyone that has even heard of bitcoin down here! Everyone is too busy surfing 🏄 to worry about cryptocurrency lol

Hi,

Just want to give [all] people a place where we can get anything we need with bitcoin.

The situation in Greece where its citizens can't make any e-payments at all or withdraw [their own] cash above €60 per day, was the push to build such a place.

Currently on a surf road-trip and staying for a few days in a place in England famous for its surfing town/community, Newquay.

Just reaching out to see if we have any bitcoiners in the area..?
