:o :o :o Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: marcovaldo on August 31, 2013, 02:51:25 PM I don't think that the buyer will pay for it lol.
I have seen iPhone for that price, but they had diamonds, gold and stuff. Maybe it's a typo Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: miffman on August 31, 2013, 02:51:45 PM It has to be a typo lol

Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: Welsh on September 01, 2013, 10:54:31 AM Actually, that phone has been listed about 4 times. From a different user each time. If you bid on it, you'll have a message "Would you like to buy this for 1BTC" each time. Then when the auction finishes, it will be listed again. Every time this has happened, the account has had bad feedback stating they wanted the coins first. (The pictures can be found on google also).
So, I guess the buyers realised and made a massive bid to stop others bidding. The top bidder is probably on a new account.

Why the buyers would do that and not buy it now at the price asked by the seller (around 1 btc). I don't understand it.

Why the buyers would do that and not buy it now at the price asked by the seller (around 1 btc). I don't understand it. I guess they could be trying to prolong it. But, I'm not sure why they are bidding that amount. I would of thought they would just report it. I'm guessing it's been reported a few times now. But, when this ends and there's a similar auction, look out. The price normally starts at £10. As soon as you bid you normally get a message something like I already stated. I have done this twice now and had a similar message. They are both new accounts. Also, the account always has negative feedback after the auction is finished. The bidders could be also new accounts to stop others from bidding. They don't mind getting negative feedback from the seller if they have purposely done it to stop others from bidding. This has happened a few times. Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: marcovaldo on September 01, 2013, 11:07:23 AM Ok, I will check it

I wouldnt be surprised if there will be lawsuit against the winner to pay the bidded amount for the item Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: 01BTC10 on September 01, 2013, 11:21:27 AM I would be extremely surprised. This is not eBay.

Ok, BitMit might add "Scammer paradise" to their logo then Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: marcovaldo on September 01, 2013, 11:32:17 AM I would be extremely surprised. This is not eBay. Ok, BitMit might add "Scammer paradise" to their logo then Bitcoin is the scammer paradise, not bitmit. That's like if someone steals you 100 euros in the street. You go to the police, the police arrested him, but he can't give you back the 100 euros because the transaction is irreversible ??? Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: 01BTC10 on September 01, 2013, 11:33:18 AM This is why Bitmit and experimented bitcoiners use escrow.
Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: Welsh on September 01, 2013, 12:06:45 PM That's right. If for what ever reason the seller wants you to pay without escrow, simply don't do it. Even if they are the highest reputable members on bitmit. It's happened before when they run off with the money. So, always require escrow. At the moment I think bitmit hasn't had many scams because everyone tends to use escrow.

In reality you go to the police, file your case and nothing happens Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: miffman on September 01, 2013, 02:43:56 PM I'm pretty sure it's a whole joke between the sellers and the bidders
Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: b!z on September 01, 2013, 02:54:09 PM I would be extremely surprised. This is not eBay. eBay has plenty of fake bids too. ever seen 9,999,999$ bids on items?

This is not eBay. eBay has plenty of fake bids too. ever seen 9,999,999$ bids on items? No, I never seen 9,999,999$ bids on items on ebay, and they have a strict policy concerning that. Your account who be closed soon if you do that. And on ebay, they have your phone number because you have to confirm it when you register, so you might be in trouble.

Title: Re: iPhone for 1000000 BTC Post by: Welsh on September 01, 2013, 05:49:46 PM I'm pretty sure it's a whole joke between the sellers and the bidders It could be a joke. But, this has happened before with a 'convincing price' which they received bad feedback for asking for the Bitcoin first. Okay, it looks like they are alt accounts and have actually tried to make it look like they are a legit seller. Look at their feedback. All from new members with "Neutral" feedback because without the item being delivered they can't actually put "positive". However, it has positive comments. |
