Hi all, I'll keep this short and to the point.

I have purchased two ASIC miners from Obelisk during their pre-sale (Batch 1). Each unit costed me 0.311 BTC. Have on order 1 Decred and 1 for Sia. I'm offering to have an auction here.
Thanks for your consideration.

You will receive the item brand new/unopened from retail packaging. I'll also give away 250$ coupon code to the buyer. The units haven't arrived yet but i'm looking to get a buyer lined up.

Power supply included.

When does the aucion ends ?
Can you provide a picture of the miner with a paper next to it on which your username and today's date has been written ?
Are you willing to accept escrow ?

Thank you !

I will provide a picture with written info if the unit arrives in time. Auction duration = 7 days. Escrow is required.

Bidders please specify what model (Sia or Decred).

When making an auction thread it is always required that you provide some basic information needed to run a successful auction, for example if I started the bid at $1 then it will be a successful bid because you didn't add the minimum bid for the products.
Description:
Starting bid:
Minimum Bid increment:
Buy it now:
Available:
End date and time:
Payment methods accepted:
Additional information: If required

Starting bid: 1$
Minimum bid increment: 1$
Buy it now: 0.15 BTC
Payment methods: BTC, Ether, or Zcash.

$1 then ... :D
When the auction ends ?
In 7 days ? Seven days from what ? We need a specific time here.

Let's set the end date to July 27 at 12:00 am. Although i do want to reserve the right not to sell in case of complications.

That is not how an auction works, once an auction starts is a contract and you have to fulfill your part of the contract, no one forced you to start the auction at $1, you should have started with the amount you want so you wouldn't take much of a loss.

Then why auction it with $1 as a starting bid ? You should have thought about all these aspects, and their consequences, before putting the auction thread up.
Don't pull rules out of a hat as if you were a magician. What's the next one going to be ?


Sometimes, you don't want to. When you start an auction, it's not a good idea, because you want it to be the most detailed as you can.
That way potentiel bidders can bid with confidence.

This is a forum, therefore i'm not contractually obligated to complete the sale. (Escrow is required if we do come to a deal to prove legitimacy)
I'm simply trying to weed out scammers, and people who are not serious.
Thanks.

I chose $1 to get the auction started and get the ball rolling. The next rule i propose is serious inquires only.

Yes, this is a forum, and it has its set of rules.
Before posting your auction, did you bother reading the Auctions - Guidelines and Tips! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=287020.0) thread, which is here sticked at the top of the auction section ?


Pretty much same here. Oh and add "time wasters" to that please.


I bid $2 then ! :D
Seems pretty serious to me, it's twice the starting bid. :o
See you on July 27 at 12:00 am. o/

Just for clarity sake, is it 12:00 am GMT ? 12:00 am but which timezone ?

If you must know, the time stated earlier only applies to me. At the end of the day the auction ends.

My attempt of selling these ASIC's was such a fail... lmao.
Oh well, cheers! Take care.

Would you seriously consider bidding on an auction whose OP looks like yours ?
Would you ?
