Bitcoin Forum

I would like to introduce my website http://junktion.io we buy anything in exchange for crpytocurrency.

 Similar to a pawn shop buying your items outright in exchange for cash, we do the same but with the crpytocurrency of your choice.

We will buy anything you own in exchange for BTC, ETH, XLM,XRP, or any coins avaiable on binance or bittrex.


Why did I create this website?

I created this website because I used to invest in lego sets and sealed action figures as well as other items throughout the years. I loved doing this and had a passion for doing so like many others. This proved to be a decent investment until I learned about crpyto. As an investor I saw everything around me was worth something. All I wanted to do was turn everything around me into cryptocurrency, so I created that service myself.
Junktion gives people the opportunity to turn random household items into crpytocurrency.


What do we buy?

We buy just about anything electronic or worth something. We will agree upon a price in a private conversation  

We are based in the united states, New jersey to be specific.

If you have any comments questions or concerns about the service and how it works please feel free to send me an email info@junktion.io or comment here.
In order for me to buy your item you must fill out the form on the site.

You should modify your thread and add information about the escrow arrangements. There are several highly trusted and reputable escrow providers on this site who can hold coins while trades are completed.

The idea is for people here to feel protected when dealing with you, especially because you have a rather new account. A trusted escrow can reassure sellers that they have your bitcoins in hand. Sellers from anywhere in the US can then overnight their stuff to you, you then appraise it and instruct escrow to release a certain amount of bitcoins to the seller.

Offering escrow protection will encourage reluctant sellers to come forward and offer something to sell.

Cool website, i really like the idea behind it. I wish you the best of luck running this project.

I got tons of crap.

- tons of arduino shields
- arduino uno, mega, pro mini * 10
- wiring, electronic kits
- along with tons of robotic parts, as in servos, motors batteries, sensors
- 3d connexion space explorer
- bragi the headphone
- electronic components, tons of resistors, diodes, transistors, etc.
- old soldering irons

PM me if interested and I can give more descriptive list

I recently took 4- Speakers, a radio and the wire harness out of my car and was looking to sell them as long as the price is fair. Is this something you would be potentially interested in? It seems like you're pretty close in terms of shipping, and I have a lot of things I'm looking to pawn that others may find valuable. I was speaking with ha gentlemen from Africa about a similar deal, but it fell through because of shipping prices being too large an obstacle for the two of us.

I also have many iPhones of previous generations, some cracked, but a few are in perfect condition. I have old desktops, laptops, televisions, monitors, cables, adapters, connectors, controllers, game systems, games, old collectible sport cards. The list goes on and on, we could speakk more about specifics viia PM or a chat program.

As someone else stated though, escrow will definitely be a must unless you're interested in going first for a couple members to review your service at the very least, this will definitely not ease everyone, but it would be a phenomenal show of faith. Escrow will be necessary at the very least, as long as that is cool with you we should have no problem making something happen (assuming you're interested in my stuff).

This I would be for sure interested in. Fill out the form on the website and we can talk about it over the phone or something.

I will not be using any of the escrows on bitcointalk at the moment. This is not the type of service where I feel one is warranted. In all pawnshops do you have an escrow? most likely not. I have been in business for some time and have a social prescience. I would not do all of this to fake anything. I am not trying to make this more complicated than it has to be, we agree upon a price and I will pay you exactly so long as the item is what you say it is. In order to make these deals as easy as possible for the seller we agree upon a price and I give you the quote in writing via email that way you will always have a copy of the price.

There is nothing to worry about so long as you are being honest with what the item is. IF you would like cash or part cash in the deal I use paypal as escrow and pay you as soon as the item has a valid tracking number without that I will pay you upon receiving the item.

Then count me, and probably everyone else, out. I was very interested when I thought this could be mutually beneficial, but at this point it does seem like you are not interested in your customer's security.

The reason you don't use an escrow in a pawnshop is because the pawnshop is physically within grasp; you do not release your item until there is cash in your hand. The reason escrow is needed here is because you are not a physical shop, you are asking us to provide an item and hope you pay us after you've received it. I have $100's in items I would love to trade, but without escrow I would be asking to have them stolen. Your reason for not providing an escrow does not make sense, and therefore you have no good explanation of why you will not be using an escrow.

If you are interested in properly conducting a deal, I will work with your company; until I can guarantee my items, safety and payment I will not be throwing away my items to a possible low-tier scam.

"Paypal" is not an escrow and it certainly is not acceptable here, on bitcointalk. I would personally suggest nobody use your service until you reconsider escrows, unless they are planning on donating instead of selling.

Having an e-mail of the price you said you'd pay does not help when you have my item and refuse to pay. This entire company just started looking very suspect. There are typos on the website, it's poorly designed, you're refusing to use escrow and there are no reviews; sign me up for some of that "social presience".

If you want to be successful with this, then you need to do it properly and right now you are just coming off as another short-sighted scammer.

This is definitely the kind of service where an escrow is needed, whenever there are two things being traded an escrow is needed or you throw away your security. There certainly is a lot to worry about, even when being honest about our item; we are entrusting our items and money into your hands and if you don't think that's cause for concern then you don't know very much about this community.

EDIT :

I wanted to throw this here, so that anyone who reads my criticism can also see that it has been addressed, and addressed adequately in my opinion. I don't want to be the reason someone avoids this service under false pretense, because they stopped reading here.

Social presience huh? I have no idea who you are... This is the internet not my local pawnshop that I can bring stuff to and walk out with money. This model isnt even comparable. You are very arrogant to think people will just send you their "junk" or you are just a scammer. Which is it?

Yeah honestly, it's a great idea but with no escrow? This will never take off the ground. We're talking about giving you items and hope that you pay us back the agreed upon rate. It's just a crapshoot really. You have no reputation so at least for a while an escrow is a must.

I just wanted to address some of the comments here. If a seller for any reason would like to use an escrow service I have no problem using whatever service they feel is necessary.

I am willing to do anything to make a seller feel comfortable selling to Junktion.

I can assure we are not a scam of any means. As of right now, it is not a company policy to use an escrow as we have just started paying out in crypto and are still figuring everything out.

In the future we will have some sort of an escrow and JUNKTION WILL PAY ALL ESCROW FEES TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR SELLERS

This is a growing project and I am very thankful for the comments left here. It is leading us in the right direction.

If you have any recommendations with escrows that you have used in the past please suggest them to me. I have never used them

It can be tough when you are a start up and when you are trying to build a brand of yourself. Take these comments as guide what to look for because escrow is one of the things that gives people hope that everything will go according to plan. Of couurse for this there needs still to be a trust between that 3rd party escrow.

Other thing is that some people might try to play around with escrow guy to get money even if they don't send the package. It is risky but you have to do this in order to build yourself as reputable because when others see that your company is trustworthy anything will follow.

Anyway good luck with this, it is an interesting idea!

I want to let you know that this looks very good, I did not mean to offend when I was giving my criticism; I wanted to convey how seriously everyone around here takes using an escrow.

If you'd like a full list of "Trusted" escrows there is one maintained here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439910.0

I have personally used SebastianJu (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18640) in the past, no problems, very safe, responsive and allows both parties to set terms to their satisfaction.

This is 100% a step in the right direction; you do not need to use an escrow for every transaction, but it seems like you understand that you should at least offer it every transaction. I'd assume these first few orders will certainly require an escrow and big orders will probably require escrow. There will never be a point that you are free from escrow, but with a good reputation you will find yourself being trusted by many members.

With your clarification here, I'd certainly be willing to dip my foot back into your service and see what we can agree upon.

Since I have so many items I would like to sell I think I'm going to fill out your forms for just 1 or a couple reasonable items to get a feel for your service. Once we've successfully made a deal I would have no problem posting a review, my experience and how fair/smooth the process was. If I'm satisfied, I'll fill out the forms for everything I have.

Is there any particular category that you are most interested in so I could try to cater my first order with you to be something we're both excited about?

You take jewelry? Like a diamond wedding ring.

I have a ton of stuff I could sell you.   Computer parts (SSD’s, RAM), car parts, kids toys, etc.  you are relatively close to me so it would be inexpensive enough to ship a large box. 

its a very great and cool idea , i want to know do you also buy stuff from people from other countries?

I've just recently filled out the forms on your site, as I'm trying to jump through the hoops you've asked so far. I'm only pulling your chain, or poking fun as the kids say, in all honesty your form is pretty simple and it really only asks for the necessary information to identify what you are attempting to sell. It allows for pictures, specifics, categories, descriptions, etc. It allows OP to get a full picture of what they are purchasing prior to contacting you with more questions or an offer. My only concern so far about this service after just filling out these forms is that it asks for your full name and address. I understand you do not need to provide this information and it certainly does not need to be accurate (unless your item needs to be shipped back, for whatever reason). I always get sketchy about "unofficial" 3rd parties asking for personally identifiable information that can be used for marketing, malicious purposes or other unsavory acts.



As far as I know the seller (you) pays for the shipping cost for your item, therefore it would only be logical that they would accept items from you as long as you are willing to pay for the shipping cost. They are paying in crypto, and you are paying the shipping fees so I cannot figure out why they would be unwilling to accept items from other countries. The only thing that may potentially be an issue is customs and local laws/jurisdictions taking issue or imposing tariffs on your goods.

I'm waiting for your responses to my form, looking forward to discussing more and hammering down a price so that I can start using your service, write up a review and sell you more stuff.


I have a lot of similar items that I would be interested in dishing out, would these also be something you're interested in? I'll fill out the form if so.

Interesting idea.  Waiting to hear some feedback from successful transactions.

I've got a fair sized load of vintage 80's toys still in original packaging (LJN stuff, DND stuff) I'd love to sell for crypto, however I'll wait til you accept escrow.  ;)

We would love to take a look at your stuff. http://junktion.io/sell-to-us/ just fill out this form and tell us everything you would like. What type of coins, a list of the parts. Anything to help us. We will reach out to you

We would love to take a look at them. We love antiques and old items! http://junktion.io/sell-to-us/ if you fill out this forum and give us a clue who you are we will gladly reach back to you.

We can be sure to work out a deal over the phone, through email or whatever to make you or any customer feel comfortable comfortable using our service. We want to be as transparent as possible. IF you would like to use an escrow we can use one without a doubt.

We are working toward finding a company wide escrow.

At this current point in time we are working to possibly incorporate http://escrowmybits.com/ into our service. We like this service because it allows a set 3rd party to settle the escrow. How we plan on using this is by having our lawyer be this other party and in our terms we will have set guidelines on when we will reduce or not pay you on occasion to prevent fraud. Similar to how paypal protects a buyer.

This will give both of us the piece of mind knowing that everything is legitimate.

 If you are willing to pay the shipping cost we are willing to accept the item. In most cases the seller will pay for shipping.

We ask for your address if we happen to pay for your shipping. We do not sell you information to anyone and will not be sending anything to it. We feel strongly about not selling your information to outside parties. Here is our privacy policy http://junktion.io/privacy-policy/

I love the idea! Best of luck in developing it further, I will wait for some feedback and consider using your services!

We are reaching out to people who have filled out our form later today

So you would uby my laptop and computer? and mobiles?

?

yes

as of right now we do not. this is something we are working on. We would need a much better system in order to buy this type of item

Ok thanks

This is the kind of trouble I was hoping to not stir up, people misinterpreting what you said (as I did) to mean that you are not accepting escrow; I hope this user sees this and realizes that you are in fact accepting escrow, if this is sincerely the only reason they are avoiding the service.


This sounds like a highlight and a low-light at the same time. While we've all been talking about how great an escrow would be, it is highly recommended that you use an escrow from this site, a highly trusted user with a long track-record of integrity. This is because when you use 3rd party sites, many users around here see this as fraudulent and you may as well not use an escrow at all, because there are too many factors to control for security. I saw earlier you were talking about your lawyer acting as an escrow, and this too is a horrible idea. Users want an escrow they can trust and that is almost exclusively going to be another user of this forum from the recognized escrow list. There is no reason for anyone here to trust the lawyer you are paying to protect yourself; there is also no reason for this lawyer to protect anybody except the person (you) that is paying them.

I've filled out your form, and I'm hoping to be contacted soon because I would like to see how this process works and hope to come to agreeable terms with you. It seems like you're willing to go out of your way to make your customers feel comfortable, so I hope you do not fall short on this very important escrow issue.


This is mostly as I expected, however your website was requiring address information, Paypal information and other things as well in order to submit the form; I am not sure if this is a mistake, or if you intend people to fill out fake information when they're unwilling to provide their real information.

Under what circumstances would you be willing to pay for the shipping on an item?



Which form of contact will you be attempting first?

I have provided  a valid E-mail, phone and of course you can feel free to PM me on here. I am looking forward to negotiating, getting a fair price and moving this process along. In my opinion, it should probably ask the customer their preferred method of contact to cut down on hassle for all parties.


It would be incredibly hard to accept any valuable jewelry in a manner such as this, there would need to be appraisers, versification and certifications of all sorts in order to even get a fair price; if you're able to get a fair price worked out then it will be another headache to verify you sent the piece that was appraised, unaltered in anyway.

https://image.prntscr.com/image/gHn-ya9YR4KLs6U45Of3BA.png (https://image.prntscr.com/image/gHn-ya9YR4KLs6U45Of3BA.png)

Am I the only one who's laughing my ass off on this? lol  :D :D
Sounds so wrong hahah

That's funny because my friend that was looking at their site with me was saying the same thing; I was asking their opinion on whether or not I should go through with using OP's service and they replied "They call it Junk; they won't be giving you anything near what it is worth." This tells me that this might be a bit of a rough marketing attempt, but if you maneuver it properly I'm sure you could spin it into a positive.

I have not received any communications or contact from your company yet to discuss the forms, my items, negotiate prices or even touch bases to verify if I'm a real person with a real item. I've been eagerly awaiting contact from you guys, because I have a lot of things I'd like to unload if you are going to be able to meet me at a fair price.

It seems that you are either completely swamped by business or this is not your primary focus, because I feel as though as it has been quite a long time; many, many days have gone by since I filled out your forms and still no contact. Are you experiencing growing pains? Is this your first rodeo online?

We're here to help, but there has been a frustrating lack of communication, clarification and explanation on a few key-points. The sooner we get the ball rolling the sooner you and everyone else around here will know whether this is going to work out.

Let me clarify. We are indeed a full time business, however this avenue is new. We have contacted everyone who has filled out a form. If you did not get a response it is possible that your entry did not go through all the way. You should try to redo it and I'm sure you will get a response.

This is a good startup, i have tons of Action figures and collections that you might be interested in.
Escrow is an important factor and reputable one not just for the seller safely but for yours too since you might be receiving some items shipped to you, unless you only want to deal locally.

Thank you very much!

Why not get a quote from us? http://junktion.io/sell-to-us

OK,
Do you buy accounts we have online which no longer use? For example LBC, CEX.io,...? How does that work if you do?

That's great but I think the shipping fee is more than the things what I'm about to sell.

Shipping is only a few dollars at most; even transaction fees are several dollars at the least, so I am confused what you plan to sell that you believe to be worth it, if not for the shipping costs. 2-Day shipping across a country is only $5-$10 for a small box. Just my input, but you should try to have more than a few dollars of items to sell before you actually attempt to ship it somewhere to receive a high-fee transaction in cryptocurrency, only to have a minuscule input for the future.


You have not added anything to the discussion, thread or service; This would be so much more relevant if you had actually used the service or asked previous questions that had been answered at the very least. This just seems like the awkward guy at the office that jumps into your private conversation with somebody else just to feel like they're apart of something they were not invited into. I just don't know why you bothered posting this, who is this for?


It is good to hear you take your business seriously and I can understand the growing pains of opening a new pathway for business while still maintaining your old avenues. Which method of contact have you used for first attempt at contact? I have checked my phone, email and PMs without receiving any communications; I will re-do your form later tonight, but for future reference where shall I expect the first point of contact to be?

Our first method of contact will be email unless stated otherwise

Interesting site, I will give it a better look around later when I have time.

I have filled out your form once more and have been monitoring my E-mail rather religiously without any success. You say you can contact via another method if "stated otherwise", it may be possible that my e-mail provider is blocking your correspondence for one reason or another, but I do not see any place on your form to state how I would prefer to be contacted. I may need my glasses, but could you help point me in the right direction for stating my preferred method of contact? We've been doing this dance for quite some time now and I'm beginning to become exhausted by how long this is taking.

Also, you mention that it is your "first" method of contact, at which point do you move on to the "second"?

In case anybody else would like to keep up with both threads, OP has also posted this in the Service section. I thought it might be nice to reference the other in each thread, because there are bound to be questions, answers, comments, reviews, feedback etc. that is in either thread, but not in the other.

Other thread here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2769734

It's a good marketing strategy to attract sellers  ;)

We have emailed everyone who has filled out a form. Are you sure you filled out the correct one? http://junktion.io/sell-to-us I am going to private message you

I will take that PM me what you have and can look into it

So what do you do with all this stuff ? Do you own a pawn shot ?

Best of luck in developing it further, I will wait for some feedback and consider using your services! ;D ;D ;D

You already have one more thread in services with similar topic, you have chances to be given negative trust by members ..

would you consider buying it


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2790891.msg28557438#msg28557438

We would only be interested in buying real estate in the united states at the moment.

thank you

I am new but not new to wise investing. Many here know the value I think of the domains venezuelanbitcoin.com, venezuelasbitcoin.com, venezuelancoin.com, muchopetro.com, and btcven.com.

If you're aware, these are going to be auctioned unless someone here wants to offer coin. DYOD and find the value here.

Hey, we recently spoke to you over the phone. I just wanted to point out that we are not interested in domain names. They are far too speculative

Going through the site had a doubt and want to understand that their is a option of Donate a Junk. Now donation is done to the needy or who is in desired need or cannot afford to own etc. Now suppose I donate a Junk to you, what do you specifically do of donated items. Do you distribute it among NGO or to the needy people for free of cost or you sell it and make the profit?

If you were to outright donate some stuff to us we give that stuff to appropriate charities. For example, Coats will go to homeless shelters. We will do our best to connect those items with someone who really needs them. We can even send a follow-up email with what we did with your items.

We care about our customers a LOT, and if they want to donate something we do not feel right about making anything off of these donations.

Although we are not a non-profit we do not profit off donations. It would be wrong.

We do not buy digital goods

We have made deals with people on the forum. I am hoping that some of them will come forward and vouch for our service. If you have something for sale why don't you visit our form and get a free quote http://junktion.io

I think this is not good because Crypto can lose value if demand is low and at this point you should not do this because if you invest wrong you can lose everything. My advice is to invest safely with what you have

The question for me mate is how are we gonna send the item you want to buy in your place. I was kinda wondering about that sorry for the question. And what specific type of cryptos are you going to sell us, is it bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, bitcoin cash , or etc. because most of us here would rather prefer bitcoin.

We can give you any coin on on binance or bittrex if you would like to send the item first. If you would like to use an escrow we can send you whatever coin the escrow accepts.

trashtocash.com would be a good name

Are you interested in a japanese katana? 200 to 300 years old but maybe it's pricey for what you usually buy since I ask for 1BTC

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2822797.msg28916477#msg28916477

It's basically like a crypto pawn shop. This is a great and original idea, and I think it could easily become very popular and create a very unique marketplace.

It's like Silkroad in reverse!

Thank you so much for being an early supporter.

You can fill out the form on our website for our offer. http://junktion.io/sell-to-us

There are two other guys who contacted me via PM in this forum

If they both don't buy I will surely fill the form!
Thank you in advance, hope to get in touch soon!

Couple questions,
1.  Are you interested in say some Antminer U1's, Nanofury etc USB type of items.   
2.  Are you open to in-person exchange, since depending on where in NJ, its a couple hrs away?  Keeps from having to do escrow.

There are probably 400 sites online that buy things like this and zero of them use escrow.

You buy big boy toys? Like high end luxury cars or suv's?

What about shipping fees? Also, can you buy digital stuff or only physical items?

We would absolutely meet you in person!

We do not buy digital goods

I do wish so dearly that people would read the thread before posting a question that has been answered a dozen times or more. Anyways, there is your answer straight from the horse's mouth.


Well, then it is a good thing that OP is offering something a little more customer friendly. I don't really understand the purpose of you even explaining that, but I'm sure OP appreciates the input. If they want to offer escrow and make their customers feel better about the deal, then I don't see the problem with that.


I haven't really seen many of the vouches and it's a shame that they wouldn't come back and review. I think I saw one, but I would love to be one myself; I'm going to just respond to your PM here since going through the form on your site doesn't seem to be going very well. I never got any of the e-mails, but we'll discuss more in PM. I would gladly get back in here, use your service over and over and write a review about my experience.

Yes fill out our form and we will happily get back to you http://junktion.io/sell-to-us

PM me or respond to this thread or mine because I am having trouble getting your website to work properly.

All of the games work, have the cases + booklets and are without any significant scratches. Please tell me your offer or if you are even interested, thank you.

In order to get a quote from us you have to fill out our form http://junktion.io/sell-to-us

I have many steam codes waiting to sell. If you are interested we can make arrengement. I sold them but now I stopped selling them. If you want we can talk via pm. I can show you my ebay account for trust also can give free codes.

Is this only for US residents?

I took a look at your site and it is a little rough on the eyes, but that may just be my opinion. I am wondering if it is possible to discuss a price/bundle deal in PM or here in the thread publicly? I will be happy to fill out your form so you can easily have records, or do whatever you need to do for processing; at this point though it would feel like a whole lot of work to give you information that is already in front of you for an offer that may be very disappointing.

All games have their original cases, booklets and they come without any bad scratches - All are perfectly playable. The headset has it's original box, let me know if you are unwilling to discuss without your form, but I would highly prefer to discuss prior to filling out the form so that way I don't waste any of my own time. I am willing to accept any fair offer, by no means am I looking for retail. I just want something worth it to get rid of my old games and ship them over to you.

I emailed you multiple times, and nobody reached out  :-\ oh well

Everyone who filled out a form got an email back. If you did not you are welcome to private message us on the forum or email in yourself to info@junktion.io

What email extension did you use?

Really nice idea u got there. Site looks really pleasant . 
Keep it up

Interested in buying old reddit accounts? Fully loaded with post/comment karma.

We do not buy digital goods

I have looked at your website and noticed some really serious issues with it which even a small companies like mine don't make, such as you don't have your registered office address or contact details, no VAT/Sales tax, tax reference numbers, no details on how things are valued, shipping who pays? etc Love the concept and have signed up but you really need to do some work on your site.

 Would you be interested in a classic American car?

Do you buy kids clothes and do you buy new items in boxes? I have a few gifts from Christmas that I never opened. Do you pay for shipping to you as well.

Thanks

I agree, was just making an observation.  ;D

We do not buy clothes, but of course we buy new Items in boxes. http://junktion.io/sell-to-us

I agree with you. I think it is an industry norm to not use one. A business would not risk its reputation ripping its customers off. It is an extra step that can be avoided.

However, In crpyto there are tons of scams so I understand the skepticism. If our customers want to use an escrow or not is up to them. We will always ask.

crypto is the best thing that ever happened to me

This is the good idea and i think it is the future buying and selling system.

The loading speed of your site is too much slow but the concept of your site is really good ,
I still not try yet but soon i will give a try with you  :)

Interesting project.

Someone else asked already but didn't get a reply yet, is this only for US citizens? (I'm in EU).

Also, do you buy artworks (paintings)?

Can you please, please add me on Skype? (live:aliaarmelle)

I have a metric shitton of stuff to sell and I'm sure we can both make a lot of money. Thank you

please fill out our form http://junktion.io/sell-to-us or email us at info@junktion.io

Yes I agree. Its nice to feel secure everytime you are planning to enter an investment or a project. And adding escrow, will contribute in building a trust between your project and your invest. Because its means your transparent to the fund that you've collected.

We are still searching for a great escrow partner that will escrow almost all coins

Well thats good, if you could find a great and legit escow then probably many people will encourage to sell their things to yours and trust what services you have been offer. Because they will be, convince that the things they sell will be paid and secure thru your escow.

Now we are using online market place here its not necessary to paid the paiement in cash.So i will buy anything you own in exchange for crypto.

You can Pm us about this. Typically We would not be interested in digital goods

Right now we allow anyone to choose their own escrow. Until we find an official partner this is what we will continue to do

What if your customer doesn't have an available escow account? How could they been paid for the things that they sell? Don't you think its too difficult for them to sell , specially if they are just an ordinary people who dont have any account for an escow?

you are entirely right, I think it is due to the nature of the industry that people think an escrow is even needed. There are a ton of scams out in crpyto there and I understand why people might want one. Most buy back programs and services online do not use something like this, but if our customers find it a must have to do business we will gladly accommodate them.

Take a look at the newest blog post we did for an update on the project. https://junktion.io/selling-items-neo/

anybody from the forum successfully used this service?

To be fair: I do find the forum quite exhaustive when it comes to handling escrow and having a member here as the escrow agent.

Don't get me wrong, I feel secure and it definitely works. But the entire layout of a forum: starting shared messages, communicating individual deposit addresses of the escrow agent, release requests which need to be manually processed by the agent (...) is not really intuitive for that matter.

For someone who buys something every now and then it might be okay to have 1 or 2 chats going on in his inbox.
But for someone who sells stuff here on a regular basis it's a hell of a mess doing escrow with forum members while your inbox goes bananas. The fact that the inbox management still works like a messenger from 1995 doesn't make this any better.

I can't possibly understand why https://www.bitrated.com is not used more often?  ???
It works so much out of the box and especially sellers like the thread starter can build a serious reputation there. Connecting your forum account with bitrated provides even more transparency and transfers all the advantages this forum's trust and activity system has to it.
As much as I understood their implementation, it's pretty secure so that not even the company itself could run away with funds in their own system.
I don't pimp reflinks and I don't own the site or am related to it in any way. But maybe give it a try. They hardly want any data for signing up and it kind of makes things more simple.

All the best,  :)

People have indeed used our service. We have actually done a lot since my time away from this form. You can see our most recent blog post here.

The idea is very good, I think it will be like the Cybermiles project!!!

I think people have different ideas of how to bring e-commerce to the blockchain. The more people trying to solve problems the better. I stand by our solution being the best. I highly recommend you read this article.

Hey seOG, we never got around to fully conducting a deal so I figured I would take one final swipe at things. I have a GPU, MSI GeForce GTX 980TI Gaming 6G, that I am interested in selling. I have a thread up about it here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2997850 . There are a couple of links to check more about the specs and prices, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127889 , and https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_Auction=1&_nkw=msi+gtx+980+ti+gaming&_sop=1 . philipma1957, a very reputable user, has agreed to escrow this between myself and whoever purchases the card.

Is this something you are interested in discussing? I've had trouble with your website and forms in the past, so I would just like to go through PM or through this thread if possible.

Hey Bill, I remember you. I messaged you, and you never got back to me with the pictures.


That's not a problem! I would love help you out and hopefully purchase your items. https://junktion.io/sell-to-us Just fill out that form. It has everything we would need to know about the item.

It seems like you have a good amount of stuff for sale. Have you seen our rewards program?

https://hackernoon.com/the-junktion-ecosystem-cryptocurrency-marketplace-458a0d0c62e2

Can we use a escrow?

Yes, You can use an escrow no problem.

Send me a pm.  I am in Howell NJ   07731

I can bring tons  of good junk.

I did a lot of escrow for people.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=64507

just some of the escrow I used to do.

I am looking to do spring cleaning.

This would be a great project why didn't make an ICO and we bounty hunters can endorse it all over the world? One problem you will encounter is that your project wont be available nationwide right? So, you need also every broker in every part or let's says one broker per country..

This our most recent article. We do have a coin and will possibly look into an ico.

https://junktion.io/bitcoin-trading-pair-problem/

Such a relevant topic, I have been thinking of that for a while. However, what concerns me, if you buy/sell something big (e.g. a car, a house etc.) for crypto how do you clear that with the government if you wanted to?

We are working out the kinks, and are now beginning to launch a marketplace where users are able to buy and sell on their own. You can sign up here.

https://junktion.io/sell-on-our-marketplace/

I love your innovation and scope, i really also appreciate your idea, because viewing the site, i can say it is a very good introduction to the cryptoworld

Thanks a lot for saying that! you can join our discord to actually talk to the people making it! =)

I have a bunch of old VHS tapes some brand new in the packaging would you guys be interested in those by any chance?

thanks for this great and wonderful project. The problem you will encounter is that the project would be available nationwide, so you need also a a very good part or one broker per country.

I have some computer parts but not the latest. I have also a lot of electronic components.

Yes we would. You can fill out our form here: https://junktion.io/sell-to-us/

or sell them on our marketplace in a month or so here: https://junktion.io/sell-on-our-marketplace/

We would love to take a look =)

I have a computer motherboard. I damaged the CPU socket pins during one of the hasty upgrades. The motherboard cannot be used. BUT, it will be a great teaching aid. AND, I used to view pictures of 'A' name Celebrities during pre-upgrade times  ;D

Sorry, we do not purchase things that are broken.  :) 

I have several bitmain S3 bitcoin miners in original boxes...and several HP priliant servers ...Gen 8 plus many KNC miner controller cards...etc. Do you buy those items...

We sure do. You are welcome to fill out our form and get an offer on them. Our main focus is on our marketplace at the moment.

I see that philipma1957 made an inquiry within this thread that did not receive a public response. I am extremely curious whether or not anything came of this deal. I have been hesitant about whether or not to go through your entire process, since I have yet to see anybody successfully deal with you. There has been no trust feedback exchanged and from what I can tell there has not been a finalized transaction up to this point.

Philipma1957 would be an extraordinary review for your service to have, so long as it comes out positive. Them using your service successfully would go a long way towards many members diving at the chance to use your exchange services.

Please give me a little update regarding that, unless you'd prefer that I contact philip directly for their input. I have a lot of things I would like to liquidate, as phil said, spring-cleaning is afoot (albeit late).

Maybe he pm’d me .

I will check.

No pm or response to my post was made by op.

Quite an interesting flea market for Btc. I think almost every user in the community will find unnecessary things that he would like to give or sell.
Do you buy everything?  :)

we buy just about anything, but we are focusing on our marketplace at the moment. you can sign up to sell on our marketplace here. https://junktion.io/sell-on-our-marketplace/

I must have missed this. Did you fill out a form? You need to fill out a form in order for us to get back to you. https://junktion.io/sell-to-us/

It's a good marketing strategy to attract sellers

I sell highend branded goods. If interested, contact me.

... can't trust. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2661903.msg27547973#msg27547973)

You absolutely can trust us. You have not used our service. How can you even say that?
We are focussing on our marketplace right now and it should be out in a few weeks. We have made several deals with people and everything has been going smooth. we have began a rebrand for the marketplace. https://forra.io

I submitted some stuff to sell yesterday but I haven't heard anything back yet. It was for a large collection of Legos and a few other toys.

Do you still sell Legos?

Would love to use your marketplace to buy and sell but funds are tight right now especially with the crypto prices right now.

If all the community sells together. Things they do not use anymore and can be converted to other material. Or maybe property from electronic means. It could be old cars or old machines, etc. It is worth converting if the community we like.

We are still buying things but are super focussed on launching our marketplace that should be ready in the next few weeks.

I have to say for a relatively new account with little to no personal information about your self you sure want a lot of information from users like their real names and physical address. Im not sure why you would need either of these. If its for shipping you can calculate shipping pasted purely on a zip code.

Yes, I am having the similar concerns here.
It's kind of KYC policy.
But with a new user and a new website/company, I am not sure if anyone wants to provide all those sensitive personal information.
Btw, is this service only available in the US?

First off I dont think an address is required for KYC policy. Think of ebay, I dont even think they ask for an address to sell something.

While I can understand asking for an address for return shipping after a deal is made, requiring anybody to send you their address before you even commit to buying anything is very iffy to me. You basically then have a list of address where crypto users live and possibly have crypto funds held. Its just asking for trouble.

We don't keep them on file or even care about your address to be entirely honest. It's just for the following.

thanks for expressing your concerns. You can skip that part of the form, so I am not sure why everyone is complaining about it. We ask for the address to verify that person. They try to scam us or scam people on our marketplace we will ban them from using our service, and another reason why is to verify who sent the item. If you end up sending us something that person will have a return address on the package anyways.

If you are not comfortable giving out your address you do not have to. Unfortunately, a return address is required for shipping anyways.

Your reply doesnt make much sense honestly. You say the address is to verify a person but dont clarify what verify actually means. You cant verify someone by simply asking for an address. Anyone can put down anyone elses address so there is no real verification being done unless your shipping post cards with codes that users have to provide to prove they live there.

As for return addresses on packages, they are required but there is no reason to use a real address. You can use a PO Box or a mail forward service for instance.

I knew your name was familiar. Hey buddy, Its not an important feature on the site, as I said. You can skip it. https://market.forra.io/ is the real focus.

This deal would be hard for OP. People can take picture of the item and tell it's made of these or that but when it came to him, it's very different to what the seller had said. It's better if OP will do the transaction physically and not online.

We built a marketplace to avoid this. https://market.forra.io (https://market.forra.io)

I am glad to see your project failed, people can learn from your example that attitude like yours always brings only failure.
 ;)

lol. what? How did we fail? What are you talking about? We pivoted to a much better service as a whole. https://market.forra.io

Don't take into consideration the previous message, probably some sig campaign farmer or something.

You should def not ask for personal informations, they are right, so just delete them from you form and everyone will be happy. Crypto people tend to be a little bit paranoiac  :D
Anyway, nice project, I like it, I hope you will succeed :)

Thanks a lot! did you check out the marketplace we made?

Cool website and excellent idea! I'll try to find what i can sell haha

Thank you! that would be perfect!
