Title: Alternative to Bitmit?
Post by: Lucky Cris on November 10, 2013, 06:59:41 PM
Hi all,

First post, but have been reading for months. Anyhow, I have lots of things to sell, a few high dollar items. Where/how can I sell them safely? Any help appreciated. Thanks so much.

there is a big void in that niche now. i have to think someone is going to launch a big campaign to snag the top spot, replacing bitmit. may have to wait a short while for it, though.

Seems like it is very USA centric. At least I can't see anyway of searching for items sold from Australia, for example.

Try out coingig, and bitstamp. The thing is that bitstamp will be closing in  a few weeks, so you should place the order NOW!

Yes. If you have no trust, or negative trust, it probably wont work out.

So your saying that you would gladly trade with a person who has negative trust? No trust is OK as long as the person is full member.

Its unknown. Maybe they are having leagl issues. No one knows.

Bitmit did not seem to restricted the goods on sale. On a number of occasions I saw an array of illegal items. Hopefully it was not something more serious; their close seems to be a slow and sadly undirected.

Bitmit.net said, "Bitmit is shutting down its services / acquired by another company in two weeks. Please complete your orders and withdraw your funds asap! "

So someone bought it!!!

Gyft is a legitimate business.  I would recommend it if you want to buy cards.

Well, I suppose in my case, no trust and negative trust is one in the same. What can I do to earn trust?

The best thing you should do is to wait until your are a full member. Then start selling things, and if all goes well then you will get trust. It's not a requirement or anything but if you have positive trust then that will ease the mind of the other person.

You could post on bitcoin-otc. It's a little bit of a process to get started, but worth it, especially if you do a lot of trades and build up your OTC trust.

Thanks. In all honesty, I can't imagine posting so much that I'd become a full time member... what about using a trusted member here for escrow services?

That would work, but like I said, being a trusted member puts the other people at ease!

If I click some items at random, most only ship to USA, and the ones that ship internationally only do so to a restricted set of countries. Haven't seen any that do Australia yet, except the Digitally delivered copy of Windows 8.

That would work, but like I said, being a trusted member puts the other people at ease!

So to become a trusted member, I'll need to sell something and get good feedback. And pretty much the only way someone would have confidence in the trade is if I have trust... trust that I can't get without first making a sale. This is more difficult that I thought it be.

Very simple. At first people wont trust you with sale, so they will go through a lot of precaution, and as you become more trusted, people will be more comfortable and will take less precautions.

I can definitely understand that. I guess it's just getting the first sale or two. So I have several items I'd like to sell... should I post them all at once, or as separate forum items? Some of the things I'd like to sell are:

USB block erupters
USB hubs
Raspberry Pi
Motorola Droid X
iPod Nano
External hard drive
iPad mini
Truck rims
2 keyboard portfolios for iPad

coingig.com seems to be targeted at USA residents only. Looking at items at random, most only ship to USA, although just found one that only ships to Canada. Doesn't seem to be anyway of finding out where the item ships from.
