Steem Monsters - 2-Way Market Started!
As I said 2 days ago, I'm very impressed with the game that @aggroed and @yabapmatt developed call Steem Monsters. It is really cool and getting cooler by the day as they start to write the rules and distribute more information about it.
I've had success at having a relatively good tight market for commons as I have now reduced the spread from $0.03 sbd BID and $0.06 sbd OFFER... To now it is $0.04 sbd BID and $0.055 OFFER. That means the spread is only a $0.015 and it has been cut in half in 2 days.
I have now started the market also for the "Rare Monsters". You can see the prices below, but again I started with a traditional 1 x 2 market.
I Need Some Steem Or Steem Dollars (and willing to buy them direct from you)
With the recent price drop and the potential of this Steem Monster game, I am willing to buy some Steem or Steem Dollars to put some more liquidity into this 2-way market. If anyone wants to sell to me direct (and bypass the ridiculous costs of going through the blocktrades via other cryptos), then I will buy and pay using paypal to pay directly. I won't charge a mark-up and we will use the price that is listed on either steembottracker.com or coinmarketcap.com. I'm not looking to "game" the system, so we will use a reasonable price based on the going rates. Also in an effort to minimize the stress on both parties, while I am willing to buy a few hundred, I will limit each amount per transaction to say $25 per trade (pending both side confirming completion).
So if you want to sell me any Steem or Steem Dollars, just message me here or on discord and I will work with you directly!

Great post Dave. As soon as I get more time I look forward to sitting down and getting my head wrapped around this whole new steem cards game. As usual, people are always coming up with amazing ideas on this platform.

Hey @marjanko... here is a very fast rough estimate for you... It is not something that I did as a buyer or a seller, but to simply give you an idea of what I think things are at now... I didn't have the gold cards from that view, so this excludes that... Here you go:
75 steem on the legendaries... 46 epics roughly 20 to 25 steem... 150ish plus quite a few leveled up 40 to 60 steem.. 200ish commons and many leveled up 15 to 25 steem... I can't see the golds on that but they are at a big premium right now because the game is now going to have a gold only version... So those literally could be worth gold ;)
So totaling them all up I would say roughly 175 to 225 steem (without the golds)... but, I would also say that I could be being conservative because I am used to buying from people... I think they will be worth much more once people figure out how many they take to level up once the cards play... Plus another big factor will be that people will learn their powers and strengths soon and that will send them scrambling for sure!

Why don't you just buy on Bittrex, I use this all the time. I think some people suggested the same in the comments. Where did you get the 10% tax from? Maybe I've been missing something!>!?
steemmonsters are cool. Kind of addictive.

ok cool... yes quite a few have mentioned that... I will try to open a bittrex account tomorrow... that is awesome! And I didn't mean a literal tax, I just mean that the 10% toll that is taken by blocktrades both in and out is like a tax... I didn't know that bittrex could go direct to steemit wallets.
Thanks for the info, I will try to get started with them tomorrow!

Good to hear!
I tend to use Kraken to make my initial purchases. (I occasionally use coinbase but they charge much more); then I transfer to btrx then buy btc thn steem.
Its all a bit complex but we get there in the end.

@revisesociology ut ohhh I am using coin base and bittrex... Maybe I will look at karken next... Hell I don't know how everyone keeps up with all these passwords and codes...

Kraken has much lower fees, although you have transfer in from your bank which costs about £10, so I only use them when I can afford to buy more than £500 of crytpo.
I just have a handful of passwords and cycle them, occasionally expiring an old one and making up a new one.
Or you could get a password manager, also 2FA?

why not buy SBD and steem through blocktrades at least their price is also reasonable and ok
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
actually that is the problem for 2 reasons... First the way that you have to open a separate crypto account means lots of paperwork and hassle (since I'm not selling I have no need to do that)... And second is that I don't think 10% is a reasonable trading cost. In fact, it is one of the highest fees I've seen in the trading space in my 30+ year history of the markets... That is 10% to both the buyer and seller, which essentially cuts out a huge chunk of the market. In my opinion this is one major reason that steem has not achieved its potential. That is a very steep fee to trade for us common folks.

So is there a tutorial for how to transfer from Bittrex to Steem wallet? One of the reasons I like Steem transactions internally is that they're so easy to do (other than copy/pasting the long password). It's much more complicated to do transactions outside of the confines of Steem.

Damn, the bittrex wallets for STEEM/SBD are offline!

Bittrex wallet for SBD and STEEM is offline now. Blocktrades is way costlier which I learned when I made this tool. I also recommend buying on Bittrex and withdraw to your account on Steem by paying 0.01 SBD or STEEM.
