This is exciting!
Hello friends and followers! I just resteemed this excellent new initiative by @kaliju -- https://steemit.com/website/@steemfleamarket/offer
As @thedarkhorse commented:
Really I'm amazed we don't have something like this in place yet as it makes our steem have more value. Most important it allows a newbie to come in and sell some crap from around the house to raise steem quickly. Seriously how long does it take a newbie to earn 100SP without adding any capital? But to find $2-300 worth of random stuff to sell for most people is very doable.So, maybe not exactly "crap" but you get the idea.
I asked this question:
So, I just use the template (nice!) and the tags you suggest, don't have to post the link anywhere besides on my blog? Then just check @steemfleamarket and the subcategories to see what other people are selling?And the reply was yes, that's how it works.
How easy is that?
So check it out and if you like the idea then spread the word. Let's make this happen!
Well that wasn't meant to be quoted...lmao. I have a very broad definition of crap and that is anything you have/want that you don't need to live. So pretty much everything a person owns is crap. Some if really nice crap, but it's still crap.
Are you a George Carlin fan?
But seriously, I quoted you because that whole paragraph is what got me revved up about the idea. That word had more impact than 'stuff' which pretty much translates to the same thing the way I look at it. And what a great idea, turn that extra stuff into Steem, I can do that!
And maybe more seriously, I should have asked before quoting you like that. Should have, didn't, sorry.
You can quote me anytime so consider that permission for the next time you might want to. If I've posted something it's already out there.
Carlin can be funny, but not one I've seen many times.
Thank you, that is very nice of you. (I will try not to make you sorry for your permission!)
People I've talked to directly about the flea market are saying they plan to watch and see how it goes. So that means that other people are going to have to step up and get it started. I'm going to be away from home for another week but when I get back I am going to test the waters.
I was thinking of this Carlin 'bit' about 'stuff'. There are several versions of it but this is my favorite -
He was so spot-on! Reading this thread, I was gonna go look up a George Carlin video about stuff, but you'd already supplied it. Very funny!
And thanks, @donna-metcalfe, for re-steeming our contest for Steem Basic Income. 🍌
Sounds like fun! Thank you for sharing this.
