Title: What about a stock trading + auction platform?
Post by: gigabytecoin on April 19, 2011, 08:35:58 AM
I am chock full of ideas, and always out of time.

Why doesn't somebody create a stock market + product trading platform?

Think eTrade + eBay!

Basically just add in an auction platform to mtgox.

You could start out selling only video cards since that is what the bitcoin community really wants right now and expand from there.

If buyers didn't have any bitcoins to bid, they can purchase them through the stock market.

If sellers want to cash out, they can have money wired to their bank accounts just like paypal.

Most importantly, buyers and sellers can create a feedback record of their credibility like on eBay.

It would kill two birds with one stone by creating demand for bitcoins (since you will need to bid/buy with bitcoins) and adding liquidity to the bitcoin markets.

I have heard rumours that a stock exchange is breaking soon. Is that it?

Is there an auction side to the website too?

No offense to you or whoever created the site. But the layout/colours seem to be a bit "off" if you ask me. I have been creating websites for the past 5+ years and one of the most important things I can tell you nowadays is that first impressions are key.

If you're investing a few hundred on a dedicated server every month + advertising, why not drop a few hundred on a graphic designer in a one time deal? It will quickly pay for itself.

Not starting. If there is demand then we'll implement it.

gigabytecoin, yes that's the one.

I've recently begun to delve into the trading card community and collection of such cards as Day Traders (https://dailytraders.com/). This comes after years of dabbling in the shoe community. Now recently playing in the trading card community I've noticed crazy sell-out speeds and was curious if "bots" are common in the trading card community. Does anyone know if this is prominent throughout the trading card buying experience?
