Title: [OLD] Bitcoin Auction: 10,000.00 BTC --- Starting Bid 50.00 USD Post by: SmokeTooMuch on March 30, 2010, 12:18:53 AM OLD THREAD IS OLD!
I want to make a little experiment here: I want to auction 10,000 BTC off, starting bid is 50 USD. (10k BTC are currently worth ~65.50 USD) The auction will run for seven days. It will finish @ 6th April 3.00am German Time (usually UTC +1h, +2h at the moment). (for the correct time look here: http://www.weltzeituhr.com/laender/039_e.shtml (http://www.weltzeituhr.com/laender/039_e.shtml) To make a bid you have to post in this thread here and say how much you bid. Only condition: every bid has to be at least 1 USD higher than the previous one. After the auction is over, I will pm the highest bidder and will send him 5000 BTC, then I will wait until the bidder has transfered his money to my paypal account and will then send the other 5000 BTC. This is necessary to protect me from false/joke bidders. Enough said, Good luck :D Title: Re: Bitcoin Auction: 10,000.00 BTC --- Starting Bid 50.00 USD Post by: dwdollar on March 30, 2010, 12:41:47 PM I know this is well below your starting bid, but since no one has taken it yet I'll offer $20.

I assume that you live in Germany: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postlagernd http://plz1.postdirekt.de/plzserver/PlzSearchServlet?id=viewstore Title: Re: Bitcoin Auction: 10,000.00 BTC --- Starting Bid 50.00 USD Post by: SmokeTooMuch on April 01, 2010, 11:23:37 PM You're right but most of you live outside Germany or even outside the EU so the money transfer via mail is expensive and takes much much longer than a paypal tranfser. Additonally I don't think that there is actually a need of being anonymous at this auction.
Everything is pseudonymous here and so is paypal (in a certain manner). But I see the problem in a lack of interest in receiving BTC, not in how the people have to pay them. Maybe I will start an "opposite auction" (aution USD/EURO off and people can bid BTC) next week, we'll see. Title: Re: Bitcoin Auction: 10,000.00 BTC --- Starting Bid 50.00 USD Post by: NewLibertyStandard on April 03, 2010, 12:16:13 AM $50 is somewhat of a high starting bid considering there is over ฿22,000 available (http://newlibertystandard.wetpaint.com/page/Exchange+Rate) for not much more per bitcoin than your starting bid. Not to mention that realistically there's probably a lot more than ฿22,000 available because if somebody bought a bunch of those bitcoins, I'm sure some people would step forward to sell more bitcoins. Anyway, I'll bite for sake of the experiment. I bid $25. How about you change the minimum bid to $30 and tell us a maximum time between bids. Perhaps three days?

Since nobody has made the starting bid, the bitcoins do not change their owner. Title: Re: Bitcoin Auction: 10,000.00 BTC --- Starting Bid 50.00 USD Post by: Fiyasko on April 25, 2011, 03:47:27 PM DIG! DIG! DIG!

Actually nobody was interested in this auction back then. 10k BTC would be quite a lot money today :P Title: Re: [OLD] Bitcoin Auction: 10,000.00 BTC --- Starting Bid 50.00 USD Post by: Garr255 on March 05, 2012, 07:08:14 AM Haha, If only I had even known about bitcoin back then. Actually the only reason I found out about this was by randomly going to the web site c.cc
Great story I know :P Title: Re: [OLD] Bitcoin Auction: 10,000.00 BTC --- Starting Bid 50.00 USD Post by: ribuck on March 05, 2012, 10:47:57 AM Haha, If only I had even known about bitcoin back then. Had you known about Bitcoin back then, you would have thought (like everyone else) that it wasn't worth bidding $50 for smoketoomuch's 10000 BTC.In 2012, people have exactly the same opportunity as they had back then. If they have $100 to invest, they can buy $100 worth of Bitcoins if they think Bitcoin's value will increase in the future. If the price goes up 500%, the 2012 investor makes exactly the same on their $100 investment as the previous investors would have made if the price went up by the same amount. The number of coins involved is irrelevant - the only thing that counts is the % increase in value.
