Title: Small Loans
Post by: Dirtyduke on March 10, 2012, 06:27 am
Whatever happened to the loaners that used to be in the money section.  I'm in a bind right now with the banks not being open for a few more hours but I need to buy something now since it's the last one.

I've been considering offering loans, but as far as I can figure, I'd have zero way of enforcing payback. How have other people gone about this?

It's all pretty much on an honor basis.  You can get a decent loan if you have good history.  If not you can get a small loan.  They expect to lose some money but, that's why their rates are so high.  Very understandable.

There's a guy on here now trying to get a 275 dollar loan with a 290 dollar payback on Wednesday.  Ain't gonna' happen.  Nobody's going to risk that much money for a possible profit of $15.  He's living in Disneyland.

I tried it recently, out of 10 loans, 7 repaid on time. 1 is taking a while but I expect I'll get it back. 1 is due to repay tomorrow. 1 stole 15 BTC.

To larsson72- you're a cunt and I hope your particular choice of drugs brings you a good dose of karma  :)

Larson72 did not pay you?  He took out a loan from me as well and he has been MIA ever since.

If you would like to message me about members that have screwed you over I could add another section of my ledger for you.

Just a thought.

I've had some luck asking for and giving micro-loans lately. 1 BTC and under for people like me who occasionally miscalculate the conversion with fees, or just find themselves some % of a BTC short due to fluctuations.  I would happily continue doing so, but anybody who scammed me for 4+ BTC at this point would just remove my faith in the borrowing community.  Sorry to hear some of you have lost much more.
