HOW TO BUY OR SELL HERE...

[SatsLife]

For me as a new user in this forum for me was very complicated to understand the steps of doing it when i want to sell something "WTS". The information you shared is fully completed and i finally understood the steps and how to do it . Thank you mister

Thank you! Glad you found it useful. Looking forward to your WTS thread

Hi guy's, I've never sold anything here and after reading this I'm a little freaked out now. haha. Scammers and spammers give me a belly ache. lol

Is there anywhere else to sell physical stuff (from usa)? I sold btc on ebay for years until they shut us all down.

Scarce.city is another great place to buy btc items, but you have to submit to sell, you cannot just list anything you want. What were you thinking about selling? The forum is a great place for us collectors and the best place to sell an item. An escrow service here can help you sell/auction pretty easy if you are worried about scammers. Krogothmanhattan and Minerjones are both highly recommended.

Am I allowed to post some digital art, digital collections (NFTs), as a part of this > Collectibles > category?

Good question. If it's bitcoin related then it should be fine. i.e. rarepepes, raretoshi, etc.

If they are ETH or other altcoin and not bitcoin related art then I would venture to say no.

Only if it's possible to pay with Bitcoin, anything else needs to be in the Altcoin section. Example, if you are just posting a link to OpenSea, it will be moved.

This is Bitcointalk and you are in the Bitcoin marketplace section after all.

all the timers shown in this thread no longer seem to work right - the one in OP starts off ok but after a while it gets stuck in a one minute loop and stops working correctly.

does https://www.timeanddate.com/ still work?

I've also sent SatsLife a PM asking him to add a line about the EDITING of auction bids to head these off at the pass. 

I'm actually a bit surprised it's been so long since we've run into this in this fashion. In the "Old days" auctions were run in the "Auctions" subthread, where editing of posts is disallowed. Unfortunately, they can't do this with the collectibles section, as I remember it being requested long ago if the title had [AUCTION] in it, but nobody/theymos would make the change/mod... 🤷‍♂️

i am using the time and date one now but that requires them to click a link and go to another page - I preferred the embedded ones.

very helpful, thanks.

Updated under buying/bidding point 4

Hmm. This last one worked for a long time. I wonder what changed. Might have to get Cygan on the case again.

Hello,

I'm currently searching to sell a Casascius 1 bitcoin.
I have put my announce on "Collectibles" section.

I have been reached by one member (Koil). He has proposed to discuss directly about the coin on Telegram and directly proposes a price for the coin (after checking the pics).
 
I'm a bit suspicious because of your thread about it.

He proposed to use an escrow pretending that it's impossible to be scammed if we use an escrow from the official list :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.760

However after checking, the last post was from 2021 and said that a lot of escrows mentioned there were now inactive.
I made him the remark that the list was a bit outdated and he argues that :
"It's the first and only one official list. There is no other official escrow list"

Sounds strange to me. What do you think ? Can I trust this member ?

That list is outdated.

Thanks for the input.

However, that doesn't really answer to my question ...

Do you think I can trust the member (direct use of Telegram, provide an outdated escrow list, etc ..) ?

I would like to have the opinion of some members.

Thanks.

You can check Koil’s trust ….

Personally I wouldn’t do any deal off the forum. Like a lot of members have mentioned - minerjones is a very trusted member and does a lot of escrow work with collectibles. Perhaps it’s worth PMing him

Is there anything bad with my trust or something ? Because i have done around 10k last 2 months in this forum from trades?
Which i can clearly prove with proofs of payments and everything
Telegram, WhatsApp or any messanger is just the same like message here.
Scammers are everywhere, and you can't say that people in Telegram are scammers because that's just an message software
It doesn't matter you use telegram or any other message software actually with a newbie who can send only 2 messages per day makes the communication way better.
Also, how so everyone around claiming that Telegram is used for scams consider EVERYTHING around including the forum and the pms itself have been used for scams always?
I have done more than 10k trades with MiLkz and Heisenberg63 in TELEGRAM. All of them were successful.
Are you calling me a stupid person or the legit sellers like Milkz And Heisenberg bad because we all use Telegram?

as for bad about your trust? Not exactly, you do not have negatives - but you also do not have any positives - only a couple neutrals.

you realize the first person you mention states that their trades have been successful however they still recommend that people use escrow. And the second one, you actually opened a scam accusation against them.

So these two may not be the best examples for you to use as "successful trades"

The problem with telegram is that people will message someone on telegram claiming to be someone from here and they actually are not that person on the forums. If dealing with someone on the forums that is unknown to you (or maybe even if they are known) it is best to keep the deal/communications here on the forums.

I have many reasons to open scam accusation against many things and people but it is not also useless but a time waste.
As OgNaSty says in one private conversation, even the admin of the forum do not care bout it, why should i care to go against anyone consider i do not care about the forum at all.
Keeping the deal/communication here in the forum is useless just the same way that doing it outside the forums.
There was so MANY people scammed inside and outside the forum, and none of us, you, me or anyone can do shit about it.
P.S: By default forum restrict newbies communication with dms or posts per day it is more than obvious that everyone will look for faster way of communication. And consider the dead market of the forum which is like that from years, it is more than ignorance to call any other communication method a scam (telegram, icq, messanger) and etc.
Nothing else than useless topics that's repeating from ages, from people desperate for merit and re-sellers in the digital market.
This place is long time dead just because of the abusive trust system and the non-sense rank system also.
And not in last place the non-moderated scam reports.
