Title: Sell your crappy and unwanted Christmas presents - for bitcoins!
Post by: Bitalo_Martin on December 29, 2015, 08:59:47 AM
Christmas is finally over and, we all get gifts where, well, we'd frankly prefer money, so we can buy whatever we want and not use the stuff that friends and relatives think we wanted. And even if you're lucky enough to only get things your heart desires, many presents make existing items obsolete.

So if you're looking to turn any of these unnecessary items into a bit of cash to ease the cost of Christmas, we've rounded up the best places to sell them on. And, why do even would want cash when you can get Bitcoin instead? This way you can even invest in a chance of rising bitcoin prices or spend the bitcoins right away to order other things.
If you'd rather return them than sell them, well ok, but you need the receipt in most cases, so why not just sell them online with a few clicks on Bitalo Market. There you don't even need the receipt.
Bitalo offers a very easy solution with an integrated marketplace. A highly secure multi-signature wallet that integrates a marketplace that allows selling your products with one click. Just try it :-)

What a cool idea, I never heard about a service that the customer can sell their goods to a Bitcoin.
The site looks nice btw

Can anyone vouch for the reliability of your website? I'm interested as long as it all works the way it's supposed to!

you can test it :-D

we use multi-signature user-side encrypted HD wallets, that are so secure that, thanks to a backup transaction, allows you to withdraw your bitcoins even when the website is completely offline. All code is user-side in javascript and so to say open source, so you can see what is happening.

Not very grateful when you sell gift you've just Got for Christmas. More fair to tell the people you don't like the gifts so they keep the money in the pocket next year.

Wow this is great!  How long has this been going? I know there has been another site I will not mention (because I am not sure I can) that has been attempting to open for months.  I like the security of your site and the escrow services with dispute.  I am going to look into this further as one of my jobs is e-commerce. Thanks!

Nothing wrong with getting rid of awful presents. As far as I'm concerned if I give something to someone then it's theirs to sell, spit on, burn, puke all over or adore. I did my best when I bought it.

Uk folks shouldn't forget that Cex pays out in BTC when you sell to them. You can do it online with free postage. I'd love to know how many people make use of it.

I apologize if this has been indicated somewhere else - Where do we see the full marketplace with items listed?  I went to the link above and it takes me to just one page of products of which a few seem to be a test.  Are there currently only one page of products? 

Is there a way to see a page of a seller with completed transactions?  Also is there or will there be a feature to import ebay or etsy feedback?

BTW it is soooo cool to see the price for the products in Bitcoin!

the marketplace is under http://market.bitalo.com and then click on "buy" to see the list. There might be one test product from some user (not from us), but the vast majority looks like real products for me.

Really cool site, I registered. Hopefully more people will begin to use it. 

Only thing I didn't like so much was going through the lengthy registration process although you're given the opportunity to skip a lot of steps I think it could be made faster and easier like just requiring the user name, email, password, and phone verification. That really should be enough to just be able to login and look around. For example, you can remove all the extra steps that can be skipped anyway and restrict all new user accounts so that they can browse the site after quickly registering but they cannot buy or sell until they fill out all the other necessary stuff like their bank address, etc.

This way, anyone can literally register in 30 seconds after filling in the basics and verifying their phone, browse around, and determine if they want to continue to use the site. Since it's a new site and your are trying to attract new people, ideally you want to make it as simple as possible for them to get through the front door and look at what the site has to offer.  Just my two cents, take it or leave, I do hope it helps

On the other hand, the site looks very nicely put together. I hope it's successful and perhaps I'll keep using it if more people do too.
