The game is called:

Sell your unwanted Xmas-gifts on STEEMBAY + get extra payed for doing so.

Simply by using one of the first working marketplaces in the cryptocurrency world.

How does it work?

1. Prepare the item or service you want to sell as if you want to publish an article
2. Include shipping details, good pics and a nice/fun description (Possibly add, that you are happy to accept Steem in a reasonable exchange ratio, too
3. use steembay as first tag and the language of your choosing as second tag (english is standard, "fr" for french, "spanish" for spanish, "tk" for turkish or "deutsch" for german. The bot will then run in the language of your choosing )
4. wait for the steembay bot to log in
5. start the auction with a comment as indicated in the initial botcomment ( start 0.01 as example)
6. Get upvoted by @pollux.one if you did everything right ( the upvote will be worth around a dollar )
7. It would be nice if you resteem this, so that more people get the chance to participate (but thats not obligatory)

Limitations? Yes.

• You have to have a reputation of at least 40 to participate. This keeps spammers and cheaters out of the system.
• To be voted and to take part in this game it should be an unwanted Xmas present.
• The game will end when this post is payed out.

Comparative advertising is frownd upon, but most of the time it's worthwhile and fun. So let's have a look at ebay vs steembay stats:

On ebay:

• you have to pay 10% of your rewards
• you have to pay 0,30 $ for each post (exceeding 30 / month)
• you have to pay 0,50 $ Cents for a Subtitle
• you have to pay a lot for using more than one pic
• you have to pay 2 $ for a bold Title
• you have to pay 0,10 to 0,40 $ to set a minimum price
• additional advertising that is really expensive
• millions of possible buyers around the world but daily decreasing numbers
• paypal as system to transfer money (which is even more expensive)

(source ebay)

On Steembay:

• You should upvote the initial bot comment // no further fees
• No costs for each post + an upvote worth around 1$
• Subtitles are free
• Using more than one pic is free
• A bold title is free
• A minimum price is free
• Free daily advertising in our Report (vote this up for more visibility)
• 500 000 of possible buyers daily growing
• The steem blockchain and currency as payment method, which is free of charge and faster than any other system right now.

We only need to invent a beamer or a drone transporting system to make shipping faster and cheaper...

and for the steem devs ... a nicer and working sorting system would be a nice thing to have, too!

have I yet mentioned how much I like our new logo?
