Like the idea, I think it would only work for small items thou. I’m not sure what it would cost to ship to Africa but I’m guessing to ship a fridge or something of that size cannot be cheap.
Thanks for the feedback, Shipping one fridge may be onerous but when you get many (whether 2nd or broken), put them in a Ship container the overall costs become low. If you're interested in a venture as such just PM me. Regards

The idea is great, honestly one of a kind.
I'm fairly sure that if you want to scam, you would do it some way which you can probably scam bitcoins directly instead of having to end up with some other person's junk, so i'd trust you with my old items comfortably since i don't need them anyways.
But the thing i'm worried about is actually the business model.
First, you have the shipping fees. Shipping from the US to africa will probably cost a fortune especially for a stash of old clothes that may weigh several kilos. That'll be the first setback. Then, you'll probably be purchasing BTC in Africa for a premium of upwards of 5-10%(zimbabwe and countries that have economic problems are worse), taking away from profits. Then sending the BTC to your client will probably cost you $10 in transaction fees.
All this hassle and cost for probably a couple hundred dollars worth of rewards, isn't worth it compared to selling locally.
Hat down Magnento for your kind words 7 honest review of this project, Let me address your worries that i've found legitimate. First on the cost of shipping issue, there is no need to panic about the costs because there are low cost maritime companies that can do the work cheap. On the Bitcoin premium issue, there is nothing as such in the country i live. It's not well known yet here so you can get it easily And the transaction fees are not up to $10. They are less per my experience. Regards

I've got you. Nevertheless why not try me by mailing one or two items to check whether i'll be reliable or not? You can come up on this forum to give a testimony about your experience with me...
I've even said that if someone want to come on the ground to get all the assurance i will be glad to host him/her.
Business-minded people build partnerships through trials and visits on the grounds.
Thanks for your feedback
The kind of service you want to offer is quite controversial if you ask me and its because of several reasons I will try to itemize. 1. The issue of trust, which you have right noted as to reason because you are a newbie on the forum, I think its just too early to start this kind of thing before understanding the way the forum operates and what is applicable for a service like this. 2. Who determines the value of those item, the buyer or the seller or the middle man which you are playing here and how do you propose that conflict be resolved. 3. You ask that something should be sent to you first to determine your reliability, that I say its a red flag because no matter how small the item would be, its has value and what if you don't sell the goods within a reasonable time frame, how do you keep explaining to the seller even though you didn't intend to scam. My suggestion is to set yourself up to buy these things you wants, do it with an escrow when you receive it, the escrow release the bitcoin and you can place whatever profit margin on it depending on the market condition. With this, you can make more profit and free yourself from even hassle of explanations to the owner as to why the goods is not selling fast or why the value has dropped from the agreed amount. Thanks for this thorough feedback, Lemme address it 1. On the trust issue i've already address it.. 2. THE SELLER IS THE ONE WHO WILL DETERMINE THE PRICE. As the salesperson, i can give him/her my view based on the reality on the ground. 3. For the timeframe this will not be an issue because Electronics coming from The west are very hot here because their quality. People are fed of buying China-made low quality stuff here. If the price is reasonable enough, they definitely go for it. Thanks once again for the feedback

Please fix your topic message - do you mean used or unused? Because if we talk about old things - electronics, clothes and so on - if it's old - it can hardly be unused. Gorgeous idea, by the, I'd like to be in touch with such a project.
THANKS Norinho for the feedback, We are talking about used stuff. Old things (either broken or in good shape). Let me PM you my email or whatsapp number for further discussions. Regards

An African proverb says:
"The fact that there is a well in the village doesn't prevent you for digging your own in your house"
Ebay is a centralized entity that imposes its rules on the users. Bitcoin BTCBTCBTC has come to set us free from any form of centralization.
I've appreciated your point.

Hello Bitcoiners,
My profile can indicate that i am a newbie but actually it's been a while i've been in the Bitcoin space spending more of my time on Reddit, Social Media & slack groups. I know how crucial it is to earn and keep one's reputation in this space. So this post is a serious one.
I want to help more of folks here get more bitcoins buy selling their used stuff.
Do you an old computer, laptop, smartphone, TV, electronics, Play Station, Fridge or any other home appliance that you want to get ride of?
Do you have an old car, van, truck, pickup or Motobike that is occupying your garage?
Do you have a stash of old clothes, dresses, rugs, table-clothes that you want clear off?
I have the solution for you: Send them to Africa to be resold. ( You can make a search and you will find out that anything, either new or used, that comes from US, Europe or Asia can be bought here).
Items can be mailed via post or shipped via sea.
You can even start a business venture on your own by collecting other people stuff and export them to Africa (I live here in West Africa & i'm not a "Nigerian Prince" ) to be sold. I will be very glad to do the salesman job for you here in Africa.
When The Items are sold the money will be sent to you in Bitcoins BTC .
PM me if you're interested for more details.
I know the value of trust so i will not play with it.
Waiting to start a new success-story with you

Hello everyone
Tell me please what channels of advertising are good today? What kind of the problems and difficulties are meeting you on the marketing way and promotion?
Hi AllaRaud, It is actually a matter which channels are good or not. It's about knowing who (audience or prospects and their demographics) you want to address and where they are(the places they spend their time on online).

Hi! We are in the middle of pre-sale in our ethereum token ABT. The biggest struggle is to get people to take their time to actually listen to what we have to say. There are so many different tokens, and all claim that they are the best because of different reasons. Right now we are trying to grow the interest for our token through our bounty campaign. https://medium.com/@febrero.daniel/addaps-abt-bounty-campaign-b0b50e713f6ePress "You can check your participation status here", and you can follow the progress of our campaign. Our hope is that by December when our general sale starts, our token will be well known! Do you have any ideas of other ways to reach the general clients? /Louise @ Addap's Hello Louise, I fully understand what you are going through. Getting your message to the right audience today is difficult in these times of Information overflow where attention has become a high valued currency. The Blockchain space too is saturated with the abundance of many ICOs going on at the same time. It's difficult to rise above the noise and get your message get delivered. Spending bucks on a flashy article on Cointelegraph or coindesk alone (as suggested) may not bring the intended results. That said you need to have and implement a good strategy and plan in collaboration with a Marketing professional. I can help you. i run a content & social media agency for blockchain-based projects. reach out to me via pm & let make the addaps' ICO a success. Cheers
