Title: Casascius 10 BTC Silver Round - Auction
Post by: HardBTC on April 01, 2015, 02:48:01 PM
10 BTC Casascius Uncirculated Direct from Manufacturer





============================================================================================

Please note this auction follows on from an initial post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1008150.msg10940000#msg10940000 which wasn't a formal auction, so has been closed down, apologies for this slight misposting. The decision to market this coin was made quickly, 'on the fly' so to speak, to help raise funds for Chris Ellis'  ProTip (http://igg.me/at/protip) Project , hence the slight 'mispost' .... Sorry.

Many thanks to all for your assistance so far, especially to Blazedout419 for your advice, appreciated.

As this is a new thread, I will say it again  ;D

I can vouch for David. I have done many many deals with David over a few years now. Through Ebay, or paypal invoice, or coin trade, or BTC payments, or bank transfer, or face to face. Never an issue.

HardBTC was listed on Mikes Casascius site as a recommended reseller (may have been the first one listed from memory)

I daren't imagine how many Cas coins were resold by David. 100's ... maybe even 1000's.

He's just been working on other things more recently

Why not post this auction from a main account then? I mean, ANYONE can assume nick such as HardBTC and give links to original website and groups to prove they are "legit". Real David may have no clue until irate buyer starts knocking on his door. ;)

HardBTC are a legitimate company.
Will be interesting to see what this goes for. There's only a select market for these. I can't remeber the last time one of these sold at auction but I guess we'll soon find out.

So am I, will be interesting .

Hoping to raise a little more than the going rate on this auction, as I'm donating a very significant proportion of the proceeds to the ProTip (http://igg.me/at/protip) Crowd fund

ProTip (http://igg.me/at/protip)  is a great project, happy to be helping out with the dispatch of some of the  'perks' on offer.  Some of which are already enroute and ProTip is releasing test code already.

Many thanks for your support and  comment, appreciated.

Hi all

Regarding Escrow,  OgNasty has kindly offered his services as Escrow agent on this auction, and accepted with thanks.

I now have a request from another bidder that maybe another escrow agent maybe added to in addition to OgNasty.

I'm happy to add any other reputable Escrow agents to the auction from which their services may be called.

Sound good to OK to all bidders so far.

Rest assured only reputable escrow agents will be considered.
