I’d be down for a set as well if you haven’t hit your limit yet!

For a contrary opinion, I've sold a few small-value items through Scarce.city, worked directly with Chris, and had a good experience.
The criticism about reserve bidding, and sellers backing out, is very legitimate. Oftentimes over the years I've had sold something at auction that went for much less than I expected, but those are the rules, and the item gets to the buyer regardless. But in this situation, I'd blame the seller more than the auction house. Taking all items in first for inspection, as an alternative, would increase their overhead greatly. The liability alone of keeping things secure while in escrow would be very challenging. Maybe this is something they can do as they grow, or figure out better guarantees for both parties in the meantime.
I just see people coming in and throwing shade at their whole operation from various angles, and just wanted everyone to take a step back and see that scarce is doing something interesting and unique, and giving exposure to bitcoin and collectibles in an industry where just staying afloat in the last few years has been a struggle.
The lack of communication was the main concern for me. Once I was in finally contact with Chris and James, they were very professional and helpful about my issues. |

I have purchased a few items from scarce.city and the experience was definitely less than pleasant. Bought two pieces of art from the Plan B Lugano event in Switzerland on October 21 and just received them 1/10 and 1/11(yesterday). While they seem professional and nice enough people, the communication is definitely lacking. I had to reach out multiple times within a few weeks of auction end to ask about shipping. Only got responses when I was the one reaching out even weeks after they were supposed to initially ship. They had procured an art shipper before the event but then weren’t happy with their pricing. I paid nearly .05btc for shipping as they said we would get refunded any difference and I was sure that I’d get a decent chunk back. Nope lol it actually cost them $1400+ and nearly 2.5 months to ship them. And the icing on the cake is that one of the pieces has a one-piece hand carved wooden frame that came broken at all corners  I’ve purchased some items after that as they were things I really wanted and couldn’t get elsewhere, but the shipping is different due to it not being an event. They have assured me that my issue was specific to that event due to it being in Switzerland, but I don’t plan to bid again after I won the few other items I really wanted. Hearing about the items not being honored after auction end is sketchy as fuck though and should never be allowed Funny how OP posted to try to garner attention and has been silent since… |

the first XRP physical bitcoin.
I would change this wording as it’s not a physical bitcoin, merely a shitcoin |

I’m playing devils advocate here… you bought a buyer funded coin without the full public address with either 1) not doing the research to know that smoothie doesn’t give out such information or 2) knowing full well that was the case but expected a different result.
Not saying one person or the other is right. But I don’t hold smoothie at fault if this has been his policy for the entire time he has produced coins. I’m not an OG in the space so I’m not sure if it’s been a consistent practice he’s had or not, but if so then I’d say it’s your own fault for either of the two reasons above. If that hasn’t always been his practice, then I can definitely see the frustration.
Just my two sats as I’ve seen a few threads like this

The hard part is you cant send to the winning coin until the end I think - after the first sweep, everyone could check to see if they got swept funds, if they did not they could sweep as they now know they are not the winner. So maybe every time - sweep funds to an “skam” account and whoever ends up being last one holding a balance, they win. If anyone peels/sweeps their own coin prior to the end would be out of the running then.
After reading yours again - I think we are saying the same thing @minerjones
Well... they wouldn't necessarily know since no one knows which address goes with which coin. So we would only know that one coin got swept, but not which one I respect your ideas fellas....but will that mean that my coin could end up with no funds? No disrespect to your ideas...but I would prefer the way we did it the first time...one coin will have a large amount of Sats and the rest have a low amount...this way nobody know who has what and at least everyone will have some Sats in their coins. Again, I respect your ideas and I am for whatever Frank or the majority decide...but these are my two Sats on it as I want one of these coins to remind me of what this mother fucka did to me and others. I think you’re mistaken if you think the SBF losing coins have any BTC on them. Only one coin has the BTC and the rest are rekt ALL the SBF coins have SATS one them ....just that one has more than other...none are REKT...or swept unless the owner decided to do that. Incorrect - only one SBF coin has any funds. The rest are empty When the fuck was that decided? I was not aware! It was stated in the official sales thread that everyone would fund with .001 and the winning(non-rekt) coin would have .04 |
