# Offline ATX Meetup

#### Weekly Bargains, Garage Sales, and Community Events

The Telegram-native OTC community hosts recurring structured events, including **Weekly Bargains** and **Garage Sales**.

These events serve multiple functions:

* aggregating liquidity at predictable times,
* enabling price discovery for illiquid assets,
* lowering negotiation overhead,
* onboarding new participants through guided interaction.

Garage Sales often include:

* NFTs,
* RWAs,
* experimental or exotic assets,
* bundles that would be impractical to trade on conventional exchanges.

Despite their informal presentation, all settlements during these events remain atomic and trustless.

#### Offline Meetups as Extensions of the Community

ATOMICS community meetups function as **offline extensions of the Telegram OTC marketplace**.

These meetups:

* facilitate high-bandwidth negotiation,
* accelerate trust formation,
* enable complex deal structuring,
* and often culminate in on-chain atomic settlement via the protocol.

Crucially, physical presence does not replace cryptographic enforcement. Meetups enhance coordination efficiency, but settlement guarantees remain protocol-enforced.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://atomics.gitbook.io/atomics/welcome-to-atomics/readme/community-and-marketplace/offline-atx-meetup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
