The "What Do You Want to Buy/Sell for FTC?" Thread
-
In terms of myself I would like to buy anything that I would get online and particularly Amazon. So things like water filers for jug in the kitchen, toothbrush, books. Things like that.
But I would also love to buy coffee and lunch for when I am out and about in town and don’t want to have to remember to take my wallet with me everywhere (since my FTC works on my phone) and it would mean I wouldn’t have to queue up for at the ATM. I would also like to pay my suppliers in FTC.
In general I think it is important that we get in to Food and essential utilities; these are key to our success. I think another good thing we could try is getting in to the corner shops that top up electricity meters, particular those on low incomes in the UK. It could be good for them as well.
If we can get merchants to accept FTC for life’s essentials we are golden.

It would be cool to be able to pay for services with FTC. Things like VPN service, Grooveshark, and whatnot.

Thanks to everyone for their awesome input. Looks like a lot of it focuses on material needs/services. A few of the needs and services could be met in the short term. While others might take some time. I especially like the recurring idea of having things you could buy on Amazon/DealExtreme/Cheapo Chinese websites for FTC.
It looks like a lot of these companies offer drop-shipping services, so starting a webstore is a realistic possibility.
So, I was eating chips/crisps the other day and I thought to myself - wouldn’t it be cool if I could buy snacks for FTC?
With Halloween just around the corner, there’ll be tons of stuff on sale Nov 1.
Does anyone have any interest in buying snacks from Canada? We are famous for having Ketchup and Dillpickle chip flavours not available anywhere else. As well as an assortment of Nestle chocolate products, like Smarties, Oh Henry! and Wunderbar. I could put together sampler packages so people can try different things.Mmmmmm…

[/quote]Would this be international shipping or to customers in Canada. The Marketplace will be open by then so you could run it through there, no?
-
:D
That’s what I’m hoping for. I’d ship internationally, although shipping costs could get high depending on customer patience [surface is much cheaper, but takes 4-6 weeks etc.] All this talk about snacks is making me hungry.

[/quote]No Smarties in the US? :o
Is that because the Blue ones send you all loopy? :) -
Great, now I really feel like having some smarties!
-
I’d love to buy my smarties with FTC :D

[/quote]ROFL! +10 FTC to you sir, although I don’t even like Smarties ;)
[/quote]Why, thank-you sir.

Awww, yeah. I found something kind of cool today.

These bad boys come in resealable bags. Largest size available.
Less weight on packaging than standard 75 gram boxes.[glow=red,2,300]50 FTC[/glow] + Shipping
Anyone interested? I’ll do discounts on bulk purchases.

[/quote]Awesome! First order in.
Anyone have any requests for other snacks they’d like to buy? I went around the store today and the selection is huge. I’ll wait until the market is up to do a bigger listing. But one of the things I thought would be cool is a goodie box with all sorts of things to try out.
One other thing we have in Canada which I haven’t seen in Europe, Dentyne Ice chewing gum. It lasts much longer and the flavours are awesome.

I do a little with mobile phone unlocking and may be able to offer unlock codes for certain models in the future, I have no idea if there will be any demand for this but once the market place is up and running well I will see what I can offer. This could also be expanded in the future to offering boot repairs for certain bricked models but this would have to be a postal service as JTAG access is required, Also other direct unlock services by post if there is any interest. I’m sure there are other services with phones i could offer too but its 3am and my brain is ready for bed :)
I guess this could be a first, crypto currency phone unlocking.
No IMEI changing tho guys, so please don’t ask :P -
