RE: STEEMIT AUCTIONS - CAN IT BE DONE? LETS TRY & FIND OUT!
I think this is a very interesting idea. The only question in my mind (atm) is in regards to shipping and shipping costs.
Working for a company that integrates shipping solutions for mainly US customers, I know that this should offer a base of shipping options for clients and Steemit would need to have a way to pay for that shipping in some way through the system (all Prepaid shipments auto-transferred from account to account perhaps?) with rating/shipping options that provide the most affordable services. On top of that, these services are not free, so there are always contractual costs involved.
Yep, at this stage using the Scratch Dutch Auction principle, it needs to be clearly defined as to where the item can be shipped and how etc.
More work for the seller.
For digital goods it shouldn't be a problem, for hardgoods, well, lets see if this idea can be made into a perfect idea and work it from there.
I definitely see the potential to use this existing platform for charities/causes, will it work out for hardgoods? Lets find out.
My initial idea was "sale of properties" but that at this beta phase would be too much in my opinion, however, I am willing to try if I see that people out there can think out of the box as far as the way business gets done.
At this point it's ALL thinking outside the box.
Definitely!
When speaking to a mate about this idea his response was:
"If people can make millions using F...book to sell stuff, then there is no reason why you can not do it on Steemit too....."
I see a potential for more than just a "Classifieds " tab as the platform uses cryptocurrency and that just opens up boundless opportunities to all of us here.
I completely agree with that assessment. Even the other platforms are using it in some way, why not try to make our own and try to make it better. That's like I keep thinking of a Steemit gaming network where the Steemians can go to play video games or RPG-style group games (D&D style).
Sounds like a good one.
Hopefully you'll get the concept up and running and all the gamers here on Steemit shall kick in!
