[Auction] PokéBits RPG Bitcoin Browser Game

[PokeBits]

Interested.  However, isn't it against google adsense's policy to incentivise users' actions?
Just wanting to be safe before I bid.

Yes it is, if adsense finds out they will eventually just close the account like they did to all faucets earlier last month.

It's not a faucet.

It's an actual game, all you would have to do is label the currency as something else if you're afraid of Adsense. I've been with them near 10 years now and have used them on GPT sites in the past with no issues.

Not to mention most 'faucets' they send junk traffic and have a high bounce rate and low time spent on the website.

Pokebits has a low bounce rate with upwards of 30 + minutes spent on the website at a time. Is there potential for it to be banned in the future, possibly, there's no real guarantee.

If unsold by the 20th, I will be moving the auction to Flippa.

There's a legitimate bid placed based on terms you set.

Are you setting a buy it now on flippa with this auction still ongoing?

No I'm not setting a Buy it Now, I want everyone to have a fair chance at bidding if they have placed a bid.
Starting bid is $1, I started it low to allow users who have previously bid here to be able to bid and have a fair chance.

From now on bids will be placed on flippa : https://flippa.com/6530925-pokebits-com

I will not be bidding on flippa. Also leaving negative trust, not trust worthy behavior to end an auction early because you are not happy with the current bidding prices.

Indeed an uncomfortable action. Transferring an auction is OK, but all the current bids must be transferred too. To start the auction from scratch isn't the most trusted thing to do when you're not happy with the current bids.

So please close the flippa auction to prevent further complications and continue with this auction thread.

Moving auction is a bad move. I am also interested but will not bid on Flippa. I also think you will prob get adsense banned pretty soon just like faucets do.

so my bid here is invalid? I dont have a flippa account and I dont know that company.

please tell me OP

OP just wasted our time, I'm assuming he thought someone would jump at the BIN. I have seen this before on this forum, its important to mark people that do this with negative trust. If you want to run a reserve auction it needs to be stated in the OP, or else it is a no reserve auction.

In all likeliness Adsense will be banned within the next 1-3 months, which is why faucets sell for so cheap (usually 1 months earnings or less), because you never know when Adsense is banned and as soon as it is banned, it is no longer profitable to run.

I didn't move it to Flippa due to the bidding prices, I moved it because of the Escrow.

I paid money to list it on flippa, I'm not just going to throw that money away to continue the auction here.

If it makes anyone happy, the script itself is still for sale, you just have to develop your own website.
I was selling the pokebits script in the digital goods section for 0.0945.
This comes with the entire script.

If you feel the need to leave me negative trust, then do so. No on lost any money bidding, maybe a few seconds of time. I moved the auction to Flippa due to the fact I had received messages asking for escrow if they were going to buy, and the only website I had an account already on was flippa.

If this warrants negative trust, then so be it.

[PokeBits]

What I didn't realize is that the users who bid on this thread were going to whine like little girls because the auction was moved to another website where they would have to bid again.
Oh the horrors.

This user is extremely unprofessional, I would highly suggest avoiding his auctions. He sent me this message:

Welcome to having negative trust, you want to play that game, I can too bud.
Don't be such a tit because the auction was moved, and furthermore, don't try to form your opinions about why I moved the auction because you're wrong.

Also left me this feedback:
"User is a little girl who cries about having to bid on another website and showed his ignorance when trying to formulate his opinionated reason as to why I moved it"

When I first created the auction, no buy it now was set, users were notified on the forum of the auction move.
All users said they were not going to bid at Flippa, therefore I added a Buy It Now as since no users from the forum said they were going to bid, I have no reason to not add a Buy it Now.

I've never used escrow on this forum and know nothing of, or how to, do forum based escrow.

After an auction is started and several bids have been placed you cannot just decide to cancel all the bids and move the auction. That is not trustworthy behavior in the slightest.

Is there a binding contract on bitcointalk forums that states an auction cannot be moved to an actual auction website?

A binding legal contract?  No

However it's considered dishonest, and you likely alienated any bitcoin talk users from bidding on your flippa auction.

Dishonest?

Moving from a forum to a legitimate auction based website is dishonest?

I would perceive dishonest as A. not telling the users the auction was moved. and B. putting the starting bid way above users initial bids. Instead, I put the starting bid at $1, which was over $200 cheaper than all present bids, giving those users the option to put a lower starting bid if they wanted, or putting the bid they initially had back.

Someone has already bid on your auction.  Moving your auction elsewhere, when there is legitimate bid on the current auction is dishonest.    You don't have to agree with me, but as you have seen in the past few comments, plenty of people do.   I was planning on making a bid here on this auction, now I will not.   It's your call as to what to do with your auction, but you have most definitely lost several bidders.
