If you're buying it to resell with a premium in the future. No
If you're buying it to support the innovation and future projects from Basorexia. Yes

Not sure why I'd even start to care about or put thought into other people's PMs. Guess what ibminer I wasn't included in the private (personal) messages between OGNasty and Vod so I don't care to pretend like I was?
Now go find a post I made that makes it seem like I'm lying or something stupid so you can tell me I'm contradicting myself and blah blah blah the ol' spinaroo.

Petition to rename the forum to apologytalk.org theymos please. A safe place for males in their 20s, 30s, 40s and up to come and feel comfortable offering their best apologies to each other for any hurt feelings.
Fucking pussies.

MagicByt3 has in the end done the right thing but there are so many things done wrong by so many people during this auction. Just a little snowball rolling down a hill turned into a huge snowball of death by the time this thing was over.
Two things to say here on this question by kryme

1. "Last edit: February 22, 2020, 01:28:52 PM by MagicByt3"
As the auction terms post was edited multiple times during this auction and was never quoted and left unedited by anyone I can not 100% say myself that this rule was in place before the feud started. Auction hosts should never edit their initial terms post unless it has been quoted in full by another member.

2. Communication by bidder and seller could have eased and avoided all of this nonsense. People that use bitcoin DO care about their privacy a little more than the regular person.. a simple PM reaching out with a kindhearted and reasonable explanation would have gone leaps and bounds here. Between buyer/seller or buyer/escrow/seller this could have been all avoided by just talking to eachother like human beings.
Every one went public and into attack mode from the very beginning. This doesn't just fall on one person, even I went on the offense in this thread aswell.

We go pretty strict here with how we expect auctions to run.. we have been doing them for a long time and a standard has pretty much been set for successful auctions and auction etiquette. Newbies to the Collectibles board some times think they are being harassed but it's just the older members stating how we guarantee that an auction goes smooth. As you can see from reading this thread this is exactly what happened.

Neither was your auction "normal" in any sense. If you want to save face here and sell anything else on this forum I suggest you and TECSHARE come to some sort of compromise and YOU take the words and the trust of some of us that things are going to be okay here.

Things went public too fast rather than using and discussing options between the three of you. This drama was not necessary. I would advise you to even use any popular auction host here in the future rather than your format/understanding of how things work here.

As this is a privacy thing for TECSHARE and you have broken your ability to keep PMs private I now wouldn't trust you to not release the txid in spite.
This just keeps turning into an even bigger auction fail.
I will send the funds myself to a public escrow address shared here by minerjones just to stop this from continuing further.
Horrible auction from start to finish.
Funds to be returned to me when TECSHARE receives bar and escrow released.

This is actually fair and I support you MagicByt3 in your slight skepticism after reading that if true. If it was your chosen escrow (meaning you sincerely trust the escrow) then I could see you being a little more trusting. However with TECSHARE asking for his escrow choice and then you being refused the escrow address is a bit alarming.
Even though I trust both TECSHARE and minerjones with easily over 1BTC I also strongly believe in "verify, don't trust".

Your fight here should be about blockchain transparency and nobody would be arguing with you. I have always seen the escrow'd address while on both sides(buyer/seller). This seems odd.

At this point I'd rather buy silver off this guy than OP.

I have consistently through my time here used various different escrows across the forum and never once have shipped my item to the escrow. It is always direct send. I have been the buyer and the seller for many high priced items.
Saying "you and I both know this isn't how escrow works" is completely wrong and shows your inexperience and stubbornness.

In your case if TECSHARE opted to have no tracking and USPS to ship this item then I would actually state to the escrow that in the event of a mailing mishap, due to no tracking and a cheaper form of shipment, that the buyer (TECSHARE) accept full responsibility for the item and shipping costs. Escrow terms can and should have input by both parties, aswell as suggestions from the escrow in the case of any disagreement.

There are many suggestions and explanations to teach and share here but I read how you took criticism and gentle explaining for the auction bids this last week. No one here wants to continue to assist you when you are a disaster waiting to happen. You have tainted a unique bitcointalk.org branded collectible and it will never be worth anything more than spot in resale value.

Good luck with future endeavors. This one didn't quite turn out. Maybe PayPal buyer/seller protection is a better fit for you.. on a different forum.. on eBay.. on Etsy.

BTCC Mint has "clean coins" mined directly from the block to the physical coins..
Now reimagine the definition of clean coins to include those which have been sold by the US Government.

Longshot but would be a very interesting concept.. and you've already got the name for your coin series.
**I have zero artist ability to make coins but we have some very talented coin artists here.

If you don't know what I'm referring to:
Lone bidder purchased 3991 of the 4041 BTC auctioned by U.S. government on Tuesday.

Also coins have started to move. Approx 800 left in wallet.

I'm going to take you on a wonderful journey filled with the power of deduction and brain power!

So we have these Crypto Stamps from Austria Post.. people keep posting pictures online of theirs and talking about these crazy 4 digit, 5 digit, EVEN 6 DIGIT numbers??? Black green blue yellow red what? My brain just hurts thinking about all of this information. Let's deduce!

Here is one! Lets take a looksie.


Interesting, lets take a closer look.


Maybe this is what they're talking about?

Ahhh silly alamj... acemax this is just a unicorn head, definitely not four digits.. hmmm what could they be talking about...?


THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!

Damn wrong again. This appears to be some sort of maze.. I've seen these before on the backs of my cereal boxes.


What about here??

Mmmm this can't be it! This looks like one of my favorite scratch n' sniff cards.


Waitaminute.... is this.... is this the only spot on the card with 5 6 whole digits???

Yes, yes acemax with the power of deduction we have solved this puzzle all by ourselves!

If you need to start a sentence with the part I bolded you probably have no real reason to be making a post. If you open your eyes you can see that I made a statement and then further down the page quoted Vod. Your TDS for OGNasty is showing ibminer.

Are you admitting in the bold that you are abusing children?
I re-read each of your accusations here and initially I thought you were claiming that OGNasty was actually abusing children (and that you had some sort of actual evidence). What I realized after was that you sincerely believe OGNasty calling you a pedophile on the internet is your definition of child abuse.

You type in a way that is very deceptive and furthers your agenda while it in itself is a very weak argument. You're going to call some random people who you think are OGNasty's neighbors and say "hey this guy called me a pedophile on the internet and he won't call the cops on me"

You're delusional and pathetic Vod.

The good thing about Collectibles people versus Meta/Reputation Scam Busters is that we actually do things to make a change in the world.
Charity auction right now for the recent and on going fires in Australia here.
In the future I will suggest our next one be for victims of child abuse because this word "pedophile" is tossed around too easily on this website and we are all guilty of letting it happen.

Take your apologies and shove it, words on the internet mean nothing, DO SOMETHING to educate / help heal the abuse.

An apology makes these alleged sex crimes against children go away Vod? If your research and allegations are true then you go to the fucking authorities. You don't ask for an apology and say you'll let it slide this one time. Children are not to be fucked with. ANYWHERE ANYTIME.

The heart on this guy...
I was going to write up a big congratulatory block of a post but my nomination and geophphreigh's gesture after winning speak louder than anything I can say here.

The Collectibles board is quite a unique space on this forum. I could argue that MANY of the well known aliases on the forum would never be able to meetup or connect their real name/face to their alias in fear of meeting up with somebody they may have "wronged" in their time here. The community we have in the Collectibles board is quite special in that we are active at conferences, exhibits, and local meetups. It is pretty special and I am very happy to be a part of it. Thank god none of the WO newbies were nominated

Congratulations on your win geophphreigh, well deserved.

Alamjob it's simple reading comprehension.
He is charging 0btc for 0x MJB coins. Which means he has 0 of them for 0 dollars.

Basorexia has gone from creating beautiful digital cards for members to now being able to produce beautiful physical cards. I'd say he's doing something right as he has some of the largest names in Collectibles lining up for their cards.

Basorexia your transition from digital to now physical is a joy to watch and I hope you keep on innovating. Love to see what you're doing. You don't need suggestions and ideas that will make you "bigger and more famous than Casuscius"
And on that note acemax, we all know that you are alamjob239.

I'll let you edit this before I red tag you for lying.

Proxy bid for alamjob239
$100 PayPal



Jk 0.26BTC for me.

Very valid question that I have also wondered about. I figured the 1 seat coins would have have fewer transactions due to needing dust to buildup to even be worth sending. Seeings how this is 50 seats you would think there would be more payouts.
