What were the shipping details for the package, if you remember? Might be able to narrow down the area they were stolen in to help with the search. There are only so many people that handle packages within the system from destination to destination. Obviously a longshot with the time since the theft, but worth a shot to possibly find the culprit! |

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… |

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
