Topic: Discussion thread for my upcoming German property auction. - page 2. (Read 5654 times)

bob - can an american buy the house?

also - what are the annual costs if you buy the house and do nothing?

i'd like to buy it but probably won't get around to tinkering for a couple years...

Please don't feed the troll. There is an 'Ignore' link to the left.

I would, but your mum is on a busy schedule fella.


Sadly not, other houses are in France that I have, and one other in Germany.

if you get pornstars to model in front of the house i might be interested

no german ugly horse shit though

If you have any land or a house for sale in Oberbayern, I'd be interested.

Good idea

And all, again, these are the reasons why Bob has made this alternative 'discussion' thread before opening the auction. To give the opportunity for excellent suggestions like this, so the auction can go as smooth as possible (and with as much trust as possible). Hopefully people with similar ideas in the future will be able to grab ideas from how this auction goes.

Are the other properties based in Europe?

Good morning!

The other house is still up for grabs, but I made a deal with a friend of mine who is willing to give it a shot, her property is worth a lot less than my GF's property and she offered it up for me to 'cut my teeth' selling on the bitcoin forums. If this works I will be listing a few other properties in a few other countries, but no point if they are going to drastically undersell just because of a trust issue.

Once this one is done more exciting things to come.

I see a lot of other people are already flaming. Well for one, the previous threads were about a different property. Two there was so much arguing going on, it was HARD to find the previous bid.
There was a lot of confusion which needed to be avoided. It's a good thing that there is a separate thread, but I just know someone will ask a question on the auction thread.

So, I'm wondering I know this is totally off topic, but where did the other house go? have you sold it? I know you were listing it on Ebay but I didn't hear any more.

However, I like the look of this house, and I think a lot of people will be put off by the fact of people flaming, which is a shame. Hopefully people can look beyond this and judge for themselves instead of other peoples personal opinions.
I wish you good luck!

It's different house and he posted discussion thread to avoid,flaming and separate discussions from auction thread.

@Bitcoinbob. Goodluck dude.

Reserve: None. Start: Wednesday 15:00 Noon, UTC. End: Saturday 15:00, UTC, or if the Buyout is reached.

hey, i would like to ask when will the auction end? i kind of maybe missed that in the original thread?

Suggest people quote the last bid in their current bid to prevent people from changing posts or bids after the fact.

Please point out where the 5 or so times it has been previously auction.

It's the 1st time this place has been auctioned. Previously he tried to auction his gf's grandfathers house, the auction didn't go very well, he wasn't used to what some might consider, the typical reaction, from a lot of forum users here.

As to me being an escrow, that is entirely up to the winner of the auction and the seller to decide, I just stepped up when no one else was able/willing to, and as mentioned, I'm happy to give whatever details required to the winner, if it is decided to use me as an escrow.

I'm not going to pay the 10 btc donation at these forums at this time, as £850 just for a green tag and to give people more confidence just isn't worth it when I'm not even sure whether I'll be used as an escrow.

Seeing as his previous auction (a few weeks ago) was cancelled, this is still the 1st house ever auctioned for Bitcoins.

And, to be quite honest, it's a house .. if you don't want an escrow, you can transfer the Bitcoins at the point of sale, where you've signed the legal documents, talked to the lawyer, have the house legally in your name, then transfer the Bitcoins.

But people complained a lot last time (one might assume that they've never brought a house before), hence why the escrow service is offered this time.


If you're basing validity to be an escrow on the number of posts someones made, then you will most definitely be scammed at some point or another. The number of posts someones made should be the LAST thing you base your trust on. I understand your reasoning, but honestly, the number of posts someones made should NOT be your basis of trust.

John was apparently approached, but was too busy.

Edit: I will donate the 10 btc for the tag if I can convince theymos to allow some kind of verification to be implemented for those that choose it to help give those (like myself) who are trying to legitimately assist in the Bitcoin economy, to have proper credibility in these forums. Otherwise I don't see the point of the donating tag as people can scam with that regardless, I'd prefer to give/have more verification for myself.

Yeah this is like the 10th thread about this ...

hasn't it been auctioned off like 5 times but everytime the offer is retracted after the auction ends?

I found the town pretty easily in google maps, and then the location using the plot map in the other thread.

Sadly, no Google Street View of this town.

I'd bid if you will allow John to escrow (the moderator). This guy with 300 posts will not suffice.

Try as I might, I cant find the house on google earth.  Or the town, or anything.

To give people a chance to see the auction, ask questions and to bid.

Wait until Wednesday.
