yes I've seen the reserve 'update' of the rules
nevertheless even ebay allows bidding below reserve

fair point, no argument. Feel free to bid below the reserve, but bear in mind that under the circumstances, its down to my Girlfriend to have the final say under 150. Bids over 150 (except those from anyone I have banned, or from anyone labeled a scammer) will automatically be accepted no questions.

Hi guys,

just to warn everyone that user 'Chaang Noi' (who I lovingly refer to as Mr. Goat) is obviously attempting maneuvers to sabotage this auction.

I have given detailed reasons here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196368.new#new

I also want to point out that he is BANNED from bidding on this auction. Any post or offer made by him is invalid. I am glad he has however managed to 'confirm' that the property is indeed for sale and that we are the owners. That should give some new confidence to people for bidding.

I again ask that any non bid discussions be sent to the above thread in order to allow my auction to continue in peace.

Many thanks

B

I was not able to confirm you are the owners or that you have the right to sell the property. I was only able to confirm the address of the house in the photo and thus was able to get a rough value for the house you claim to have.

Please do not lie.

It would be nice if the op can confirm this to be correct. Had he done so a week ago things would have gone so much better.

Here I must agree. Generally, the mistake was setting only a week time limit for the auction. It's not normal to buy a house without even seeing it IRL and without having anough time to make a decision. It's OK only if you buy it a few times cheaper than the market price.
However, I think 'scam' is not the right word here. If one places a bet, the only thing he might lose is his time. Nobody is going to transfer BTC before the agreement is signed anyway.

At this point, after having the address and looking into the guy and the house his story seems to check out. He just has no clue how to run a BTC auction and I think the price reflects that. Next time be open about the address and be willing to give the information you claim you will give.

Anyway I am now comfortable enough to finally place a bid after all that hard work.

50 BTC.

Reserve is 150 your bid is not accepted.

Best of luck!

Shocking!

I assume you will still accept the 44.444 bid as it was made before you changed the rules correct?

I found the location of the house but not an address.

Schulstraße 200, 06556 Ichstedt. It's typed on the left from the map, on the same page where the link points, just one click away from the forums. You may also want to make 2 more clicks (on the map) to find out that the two houses next to it are numbers 199 and 202.

Read no thread @ start yelling "Scam!"

It's here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2061306

It took me 10 minutes to find. You haven't even tried to.

I can see now why you're in top ten most-posting users. I guess that's because you don't waste your time to read before posting.

I found the location of the house but not an address. I can hardly send my lawyer a map and say "this one" and then have my lawyer call up his lawyer and try to describe the map and see if its legit.

It is moot anyway as the OP refuses to either give me the address or let me talk to his lawyer until after the auction is over.

Quote from: bitcoin_bob on May 06, 2013, 02:20:18 PM

I could understand you are thinking this but I also said, you can call the lawyer...

...if you dont trust, call the lawyer, see it is true, and then make apologies on the forum.

i took out unrelated insults and ramblings but he has told me i am able to call the lawyer and have been trying to do so for days.

It is very unprofessional to try and auction a house with out giving an address or a contact with the lawyer.

I highly suspect this is a scam.

OK so we just passed the less than 24 hours to go mark.

Let me take this chance to remind people that escrow is accepted, the property is 100% free and clear freehold and water, electric and gas connections are present.

Photos of the property here;

There is a interactive map on immobilienscout which allows you to see local shops, hospital,s schools etc

Remember this house is a pretty, half timbered house in a traditional German style called 'Fachwerkhaus' A half timbered house built in the 1830s.

This can be read about here;

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fachwerkhaus

and here in english;

http://www.fachwerkhaus-kaufen.de/

I have found some comparative houses in the local market in this style;

for instance http://www.immobilienscout24.de/expose/65746689 (40,000 euros)

http://www.fachwerkhaus-kaufen.de/index.php/fachwerkboerse/fachwerkhaus-suchen/all

Local estate agent told us it would sell in the local market quite quickly (3-4 months) for circa 25,000 euros.

That at todays rate is 277BTC.......

As discussed previously the reserve is set at 150 which is just over half the value. This is a great chance for you to turn those bitcoins into something useful for yourself, and if you win, see you on the other side tomorrow!

No matter what, people are always going to warn people that this might be a scam, but I saw your reply and gave a very good explanation in using lawyers in order to sign papers etc.

So there should be no problem.

If you want to discuss there is a perfectly good thread here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/my-girlfriends-house-in-germany-196368 for all of this where I would be happy to talk about it until the cows come home.

Very well. My intention wasn't to crap up your thread but rather to post a legitimate concern. My reply is here.

British humour comes with something we call 'tongue in cheek' sarcasm. The title was suppose to be a joke reference to the fact that my previous auction attracted a gazillion spam posts, oddly enough, like the one you have posted now. Please don't spam my auction as requested in the auction rules.

Is the house in ichstedt at Schulstraße / Hauptstraße ?

I would offer myself as a escrow for this auction. I live in Germany and I speak german native. So I could check everything with the contract and the lawyer / notary

Thanks for the offer.

PM sent with the lawyers and notaries details.
