"Rarible Proposes No-Fee Bored Ape NFT Marketplace for ApeCoin Users"

https://decrypt.co/107761/rarible-no-fee-bored-ape-nft-marketplace-apecoin

I'm not a Bored Ape owner, follower or fan, but I have tried out Rarible.

And my Rarible experiences have been spectacularly underwhelming.

Neither the android app or the website will connect to my Math 5 wallet.

I found a way to display the NFTs I minted on Huddln when I started playing with the contract addresses on my NFTs.

Huddln doesn't publicize (or maybe it's in the fine print of the platform terms and agreement? You know, the one most people don't read and just click "I agree"to.) the fact that they list member NFTs on Rarible under "Huddln media assets" but don't allow the creator/owner of said NFTs full access to it; meaning, no changes to the NFT can be made.

I guess they want to make sure they get their commission when YOUR NFT lands a buyer.

(Back on topic: Rarible.)

The "No-Fee" thing is not exciting anymore.

There are plenty of sites that guide beginners on how to setup a wallet and mint your NFT for free (e.g., Curate, Voice, Huddln, diamond.app, Creary, etc.).

But...

They have a limited customer base ,(the site members), may pull a "Huddln" and list your stuff on Rarible without telling you or make damn sure that only rocket scientists and Rain Man savants can figure out how to transfer your tokens to an off-site wallet or exchange.

That's assuming that their tokens are listed on a reputable exchange in the first place. And no, those obscure, non-English exchanges with funky sign-up procedures don't count.

You may have better luck with Rarible than I did. So, by means give it a shot

As for me, I like listing my NFTs on OpenSea.

It has a huge audience. And since I use the Polygon Mainnet, there's "No Fee" when I mint and list an NFT.

Imagine that?

To be clear, I'm still quite active on those other NFT/social media sites. But the majority of my sales are from my collections on OpenSea.

May you and yours be well and loving life today.

In Lak'ech, JaiChai
