Post by: seek3r on July 18, 2023, 08:51:00 AM
To all the Squirrelbits-Lovers,

there will be a Squirrelbits auction @ Scarce.city in a few hours! First Squirrelbits item which is facing this platform!!!

Only reason I am selling this piece of art is because I now own it in multiple times. I bought it at the beginning of the year from Est2013 here in the forum. (Can provide the link)
Here are the details:
ITEM: Hodl til Death Slab
SERIAL: 13/21
FUNDING: Yes! 4444 bits (0.004444 BTC)

AUCTION: https://scarce.city/auctions/squirrelbits-hold-til-death  (https://scarce.city/auctions/squirrelbits-hold-til-death)

Extremely sexy squirrel bit piece, looking at these close-up photos might rate it among my top5s from Liquid.
Hope I find the time to register an account with scarcecity soon.

Good luck with your auction!

Haha, I never noticed this. It's actually cold Hold not HODL?! What is going on.  ??? :o :D Thanks for pointing it out - how did you even see this?
Is hold even still a word that exists in the dictionary in 2023?  trolol

I assume that the prolly intentional -slang- spelling mistake is the "psychopaths" part...

I feel bad for derailing seek3rs thread a little. But indeed there is a s missing. Didn't even notice, quite hard to spot unless you know about it.
Still, I find it even more strange to write HOLD instead of HODL.

It was always called "Hold til death". That wasn't a mistake but I can't believe I just noticed psychopaths was misspelled lol

 Nice looking slab and it looks like it went for a healthy sum of Satoshi as well!

  Congratulations to PeakDk! Nice win there and a fine piece of Squirrelbits slab to add to any collection!

Congrats to the winner. My first time trying scarce.city. Easy experience.
Need to look into it more, though - is it like an exchange holding my funds or do they have a decentralized system behind it etc.
Also, what I don't like - there is no "verify bid" pop-up before submitting your bid, seems easy to make a mistake by adding one digit too much.

Anyway, GG PeakDk.

Yes, congrats to PeakDK for winning the awesome Squirrelbits slab :D

I am not exactly sure how Scarce City handles their bids/deposits, but I do know they use LN for a lot of it, so would imagine they have some kind of open LN channel with a decent amount of capacity.

Maybe something to add for a future update/upgrade to their user experience on their platform... I know they are always open to improvement/comments to further the experience :D

They do have a Telegram group that is open to join: https://t.me/+Y8cTAoHurtowODhh

You can deposit 1 million sats on-chain without lightning and have access to unlimited bids for most of their auctions

Keep an eye out in your e mail, in the past it took a few days then they will e mail you the funds, you can download “wallet of satoshi” to redeem on the lightning network to send wherever you want.

You elected for unlimited bidding so you deposited the funds…

This is my understanding and what happens to me the first time.

If I remember correct, Mopar has a "verified" account. I'm not sure, but I think I've read his name as a bidder in some auctions in the past.
Maybe it's because of that or that he's been active there for a long time and it was introduced afterwards?!

Yes, some people do not need to make deposits when bidding.
I am not sure how they determine who does and does not ???

Interesting to know you can get verified and enjoy some priviliges. I noticed some accounts that were linked to twitter. Hope you don't need an active account there to get verified.
Maybe signing a message with a bitcoin wallet and posting it here on the forum would be a good idea for reputable accounts to get verified?

I didn't find any info on how they store deposits and escrowed frunds from their FAQ page: https://scarce.city/faqs
I also didn't find anything regarding fees. Or do they not charge any fees?
A little strange.

From what I know, the usual fee is 15% to the seller

My experience with Scarce.City is very positive. 
Both with my bids, my wins, shipping, money back and quick easy email-communication with Chris who is also very helpful.

I have only purchased a few things from their marketplace and not yet participated in auctions. Bought a couple of cool things and it was super easy. This is a great business imo. I had some kind of question (can't remember what now) but they answered immediately.

Gotta say 15% or even 10% is very steep, reminds me of ebay charges, which I despise.
That said, you can find some very cool items on the scarcecity and ease of use is definitely nice - glad to see a well working lightning implementation there.
So far only basic experience as a potential buyer, will try and see how the other side feels as a seller.

Any pics of that Hal Finney sword, pinky1234?

As a seller I thought the 15% fee was fair for the exposure and handling of the auction. They essentially act as escrow as well so that should also be considered.

Okay, sure escrow and especially exposure may make up for it. Maybe just used to MJs excellent service without high fees and obviously comparing that! Wish the forum had a little more activity...
Like I said, I should try it myself and see from there.

Post by: PreciousMetapsICT on July 25, 2023, 01:38:12 AM
The fee is actually 15% only over load value. So if you have a .1 btc lealana - and it sells for .15 - you are only paying 15% of the .05. So it’s way better for larger loaded items than it is for small load high premium items.
