Yesterday I announced my delegation project to help support promising new steemians to reach the magic 500 SP mark.
I am hoping to support at least half a dozen people in the first wave of The Little League of True Steemians project.
And I would like to support more. But for that I need to buy more steem.
I currently have around 8,600 SP and I had set myself the target to reach 10,000 SP by the middle of May. But now I want to accelerate that by the middle of April if possible.
So I am in the market for buying more steem. And I prefer not to use the exchanges.
Do you have steem that you would like to sell - quickly and cheaply?
If so I may be able to help.
I regularly buy small amounts of steem - usually up to 100 steem at a time (maybe larger when I have got to know you).
I do not aim to profit from the trades. For me it is purely to avoid the costs and delays of using the exchanges.
I use Coinmarket Cap and the BBC to get exchange rate information. The only fees are those taken by the specific transfer system and they are passed on at cost.
Trust of course may be an issue. There are no hard and fast rules but I generally look for some form of mutual acquntaince or referral.
Usually it can be worked out.
In the UK the money transfer is generally done by Paypal, BACS or Amazon Gift Card and for those UK trades there are generally no costs involved.
For other parts of the world I commonly use PayPal, but can also look at Western Union and TransferWise.
If anyone has steem to sell please let me know in a comment below or via Discord @pennsif#9921
Let's push decentralisation a little bit further, and take a side-step round the exhanges.
