Do you accept escrow? Can you provide a photo of the device with your username attached?

Only one bid so far. Auction ends tomorrow. If I get anymore bids I'll post a list of usernames in order of bid value later today.

I'm interested in this, the trouble with silent auctions is that as a bidder I've no idea what's been bid which means there is no guarantee that the winning bid actually gets the machine.  For example if it ends with the 1 bid you already have and that's only 0.1BTC you are obviously not going to let it go at that price (and I don't blame you)

If you want to PM me what you consider 'reasonable' to end early, if it matches up with what I consider reasonable I can collect this tonight :)

Anyway free bump, and good luck.

What do you lose by bidding your reasonable offer? I can let you know if you're the highest bidder and when/if you are outbid. I would like as close to £3.5k as possible but I'm on a deadline so time = money. The sooner it's gone the better.

Thank you for posting!

Don't bother bidding, he's just messing everyone about. + he wants $2/gh.

Beware of the troll.

not very smart calling 2 trusted members trolls. maybe if you turned it into a normal auction youd get more bids.

I was referring to dogie. Everyone else has been outstanding so far.

You rejected my bid before I gave you my bid, not that I would have even bid knowing you want 3x market price. /thread.

Don't have a preference, maybe you can suggest one.

In an auction the audience interested in buying is aware of everyone else's bid so they can make the best plan of attack. I never even heard of a silent auction.

Thanks again Tigggger, happy to use Ognasty for escrow.

Seems I made a mistake calling it a silent auction, the term is actually sealed bid auction. Anyway the current status is 3 bids, top bid is under 10btc. Auction closes tomorrow.

Under 10 Bitcoin? Luckily that means that those bids are also under 15, 20, even 100 BTC. Glad someone's getting it for cheap!

Seriously though - There is no proof that there are any bids at all. You can tell us you have 845 bids and that you're selling it for 500 BTC but the fact is that it's all just hot air. If even a single person who made an offer would post here saying that they did, then MAYBE this would come across as legit.

Good luck.
