All right! The auction ended ~1.5 hours ago, and it looks like the results are:

Lot 1: Interestedbuyer wins at 0.54 BTC
Lot 2: Interestedbuyer wins at 0.54 BTC
Lot 3: Interestedbuyer wins at 0.54 BTC
Lot 4: rxalts wins at 0.535 BTC
Lot 5: rxalts wins at 0.535 BTC

If you see a mistake here, let me know.

Winners, look in your DMs for further info.

And that concludes my run of 14 coins for auction! It's been a pleasure, and I wish you all well in the coming bull run Wink

More than willing to confirm I have the funds available to purchase in the case of a win to you, minerjones or both. I am new here so I am not going to send .75 Bitcoin to you and trust you’ll return it if I lose, I don’t know you either.

Right, of course, that makes sense. You shouldn't have to trust me.

minerjones is acting as escrow on this auction. He has an incredible reputation here, and has been the handler for several auctions for me so far. If you want to bid make a 0.25 BTC deposit with him, then you can bid away.

This work for everyone? All I really care about is getting paid, which should be imminently doable with BTC. Didn't anticipate this might get complicated.

Happy bidding, all.

I am willing to make a deposit of 0.25 BTC with minerjones to satisy all parties.

As long as you agree to a non-refundable deposit of 0.25BTC for non payment with minerjones.... I'd think that was substantial enough.
You get the refund if you don't win.
The OP gets it as part of payment should you win.
The OP also gets it for non payment obviously.

p.s. love that you wanted escrow.... you'll do fine here. Welcome!

Welcome to the forum Interestedbuyer! OP is 100% right here that deposit made to MJ is the most fair and commonly used practice in this case should you wish to continue bidding!

Oh and Happy Birthday Austin! Grin

Okay. Newbs have to make a 50% deposit on any auction they are to be considered for. This should be sent at the time of bidding.
My BTC address should be visible on my profile.
Also it's my birthday today. Happy birthday to me.

0 day old account will need confirmation from OP before bids are accepted I would imagine. austinmcraig what's your policy?

I have no objection. What is the primary concern, they won't pay?
If for some reason a newb (or anybody) isn't able to pay, the item will go to the next highest bidder, or any bidder who matches them. That fair?

The worry becomes shill bidding. (NO, I'm not accusing anyone or saying that is happening)
I vet newbie bidders and don't allow any non-vetted newbie bids in the final 24 hours. If you can't find anyone the user has dealt with... you take a significant deposit. If they win, it goes against the total they owe you. If they lose, you refund it. If they win and don't pay... they lose that deposit AND the next highest bidder gets the option to buy. Just my 2 Sats on this.
