The page is really cool, I just made an auction for my PS Vita.
When I finished, I'm going to write a review.
Topic: [ANN] cryptothrift - Bitcoin and Litecoin Auction Site (Read 4950 times)
I havent been on the forum in a while and Im glad I stopped by. Otherwise I wouldnt have found this thread and the site. I agree with others that the community desperately needs a strong, well built, user-friendly auction and selling platform.
When I get some more time I am going to browse through and see if I can purchase something. I did notice a few of the prices were really good. For example, a Wolfenstein: The New Order download key for PS3 for $16! Unfortunately Im looking for it on PC but thats still an awesome price. Will post additional thoughts here after I fully use the site.

is this project dead? tried to contact the site in many ways [also here] but 0 replies.
Same. It seems like the owners have gone AWOL.
They usually come on IRC but when I go on, I cant find them.

We had requested account termination from Cryptothrift on 24.11.2014 due to their moderators' (cryptodude) hostile attitude and false accusations towards us. They haven't terminated our account yet. We are eagerly waiting for them to take proper action.

We believe that Cryptothrift should not be operated in cryptocoin industry or should hire more professional personnel to deal with their sellers.

Cryptothrift came through and issued a refund for the auction and I guess placed the sellers account under review.
They also said they may be working on a bulk relist feature in the future.
I really like the idea of a bitcoin auction site and I hope cryptothrift will be around for quite some time.

Not so fast on getting replies anymore. They recently made it where you can only list items for 10 days and then you have to manually relist each one if you want which takes hours. I don't mind listing something in the begining but I don't want to spend hours relisting every 10 days for stuff that doesn't really sell.
I emailed asking about a bulk relisting option or something and have not gotten an answer.
More recently I bid on a rental and the person renting it already had one bad feedback so I messaged the seller beforehand asking if it was a legit listing. They replied yes it was so I bid and paid and put the money in escrow.
I message the seller with all my pool info and then I receive a message back saying I needed to pay for the listing. I messaged them back letting them know I did pay and the funds were safely in escrow. They then messaged me back to release the funds and I am unsure if they did not know what escrow was or they were trying to rip me off so I contacted cryptothrift to ask them to contact the seller to to let them know the funds were safe.
After about a day there was no response from cryptothrift and they never bothered to contact the seller to explain how things work so I just went ahead and requested a refund.
Now though after another day there is no contact and no refund from escrow.
I know I have read things in the past here were the owners said they are family men and are good guyss but don't have a lot of time but some things need to get handled more qquickly it seems. Not sure if they need to hire someone or what but as it is now I just want my BTC returned in a timely manner and I think the seller should be warned or banned from the site.
Didn't want to really post here and make it public but felt I didn't have any other choice since message have been going unanswered.
Listed below is the listing I won.

Is there a way to add tracking numbers to completed listings so buyers know it was really shipped?
No, not at this stage. But I think this is a great feature we will look into introducing asap. Thanks for bringing it up!

This seems to be turning into a problem where people are selling illegitimate gift cards. It's tricky too because there are people selling legitimately attained gift cards such as those attained through special offers.
How does Ebay protect against this? What is being done by the Cryptothrift website to combat fraudulent sales?
My personal experience is that I've bought some starbucks gift cards and they worked really well until recently I was down to about $20 on a $100 card and it then showed up as $0 balance.
Also, I know some will cry out, "well if it sounds too good to be true..." But again this is tricky since there are vendors selling legitimately attained cards and they are being undercut by criminals. I tend to pay a few extra $$ when I see a long record of positive feedback because I expect it to be a reputable transaction.

Somethings weird about those starbucks gift cards. There is no way those sellers can sell legit gift cards for pennies on the dollar. $100 for $15 yea right.

We have found a fix/solution for this which we should be implementing very soon. eBay doesn't allow the sales of any digitally delivered gift cards, OEM or licenses. As legit as this sounds, it's not an option for us, a digital business working with digtal money for users who spend most of their time and money in the digital world.
We will be introducing a new verification system with a new Bitcoin business startup (name will be mentioned upon release), it will be optional for users to get verified and there will be different verification levels. ONLY verified users or users with certain number of positive feedbacks will be allowed to list digital gift cards. and ONLY verified users will be able to sell PayPal. Unverified users can list anything else just fine.
When you make the next update you should have it where adult stuff isn't shown on the front page. Maybe have another part of the site where those things can be shown after you consent to being of age. Lots of weird stuff on the front page today lol.
Yes, you're correct. I woke up this morning and had to refresh the page twice to make sure it's my site I was looking at
The listings were suspended... Not because it's illegal to sell them or because they don't give a good impression about the site. They were suspended purely because they were digital downloads from torrents which violates our T&C.
Will be checking what's the best approach to this. Might create a category for the adult industry and hide the listings from the front pages. This way only users looking for those items can find them.

Once the bugs are soughted i think cryptothrift will be really successful
Don't know if this is a glitch, but my item (bf3) was still active after llama bought it. and someone bought it again for $0.80. I only have one key.. which ive sent to llama.
Hi jayjay, no it's not a glitch, that was a step to troubleshoot the above issue by me to see if the link to pay would work. I've also offered LlamaMaster to pay for the item as a sorry :-)BTC-e code again?
