You can check if they have it there They request payment but do not show proof of having The Times from this date... Any feedback on these guys? I feel like someone is going to risk those 85$ + shipping and they're not going to get anything.

Newspapers don't make good collectibles anyway imo. I have 2 papers frim 9/11/01 that have not held up well. It's not silly when something has value. To me, it does, and to many other people too... And it has quite a high value that I, unfortunately, can't afford :) I think placing this in a glassed frame would help conserve it for quite a few years. This is a bit like Bitcoin itself: why do people value it? ;) Why not you search on google?if you only need the news,you can find this online for reading The article in question is a collectible... Unless you feel searching for the article online and printing it is the same as having the physical edition of The Times from that day, then you're totally right ;D ;) Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: Quickseller on March 04, 2016, 04:04:02 AM Nubbins has/had one for sale not long ago. He actually offered it to me as a trade when I was trying to sell my cas MS68 tenth (back when 68 was actually rare). I am not sure if he still has it or not.....he listed it as part of a lot and I don't remember if it was sold as part of such lot.

Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: arcticlava on March 06, 2016, 03:44:24 PM Do any libraries still have microfilm anymore? If so, it is only an image, but it could be reproduced and framed / sealed. Would be cool to put it on parchment or a scroll, limited edition copies, document and number them, and sell them for btc. ::)
Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: nubbins on March 06, 2016, 05:53:19 PM Funny things, these newspapers.
CLAIMS Charlie Shrem has/had one. He claims he'd been offered 8-10 BTC for his. No proof provided. A few random reddit users claim that one was sold at a conference in Argentina for 10-12 BTC. No proof provided. Shrem also says he saw one go at auction for 11+ (I think). Again, no proof provided. FACTS I bought mine on this forum for 0.26 BTC. Sniped monkeynuts, much to his annoyance. Many photographs of the paper w/ my PGP fingerprint on top exist. I sold mine on this forum for ?? BTC. I chose to sell it as part of a larger lot, disguising the price by parcelling it with other hard-to-value items, because I couldn't get rid of the fucking thing any other way. REFERENCES January 2014 Sale thread @ 0.1 BTC, no offers; @ 0.45 BTC, no offers; Shrem hijacks thread to offer his copy; still no offers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397557.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397557.0) August 2014 Auction, I win the paper for 0.26 BTC. Nobody besides monkeynuts even bothered to place a bid: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=727068.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=727068.0) October 2014 Sale thread, no offers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=833184.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=833184.0) July 2015 Interest check, no offers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1133907.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1133907.0) December 2015 Sale thread, I sell the paper for ?? BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1288536.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1288536.0). It vanishes into a private collector's hands. EDIT: Nubbins has/had one for sale not long ago. He actually offered it to me as a trade when I was trying to sell my cas MS68 tenth (back when 68 was actually rare). Forgot about that! We can add that to the list above. MY OWN HIJACK I'm interested in purchasing another copy; I know what they're worth (although apparently nobody else does), and most of you can probably make a reasonable estimation as to my ability to actually follow through on an offer once I've made it. I've reached out to a few sellers in a brokerage capacity to try to help them make sales, but so far none of the "sellers" have been at all forthcoming with even basic things such as proof of ownership. Serious sellers who want to actually get rid of a paper for its actual value, feel free to contact me privately. I offered a seller 5 BTC in a brokered deal a couple of days ago and he just didn't bother to reply. Talk about missed opportunities. Best of luck to all who seek these acidic, rapidly decaying items!

Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on March 06, 2016, 09:43:28 PM So this is just the NY Times from this date that's so collectible, right? Interesting. I didn't know it had become such a keepsake, though I think the asking prices that I've seen here are outrageous.

Don't, if you won't prove that you have enough funds to pay immediately.

Interesting. I didn't know it had become such a keepsake, though I think the asking prices that I've seen here are outrageous. No, it's the Times of London from that date, and the headline is embedded in the Genesis block. TBZ, does it work? ;D Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: TheButterZone on March 07, 2016, 06:06:17 AM TBZ, does it work? ;D Nope, pretty much right away, someone PMed to waste my time. Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: astrocity1981 on March 07, 2016, 07:09:46 AM I was interested and actually paid 80 dollars for one on historic newspapers they said it was in stock, but got a refund after a week claiming they had made an error and sold out. I tracked a guy who was selling one but wanted 10 BTC. I offered half that and got no response. I don't think I want it anymore. Lost a bunch of valuable comics in a flood don't wanna go through that again.

For all the times I've seen people "looking to buy" one, nobody ever actually goes ahead and does it. As you can see, even if you want to buy one of these, nobody can even find a seller. From the looks of it the floor price for one of these is 5-10 BTC which is extraordinary in itself for what is effectively only a front page that will probably be framed. Really, they are only going to get more expensive as time goes on and more rich people join the bitcoin gravy train. I wonder what the copyright length is one a physical object like that, if someone could make copies or artwork out of it..

Looks like some speculators have hoovered them all up. I'll just print myself up a t shirt for peanuts instead.
Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: nubbins on March 11, 2016, 02:25:08 PM Anyone hear from OP?
I tracked down a copy for him but he ghosted me. Yet another "buyer"... ::) Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: TheButterZone on March 12, 2016, 02:14:18 AM Tell "buyers" they can either put BTC in escrow until you find one to sell, or fuck off.
Title: Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase Post by: Quickseller on March 12, 2016, 02:32:04 AM Anyone hear from OP? What is your seller wanting to sell it for? I tracked down a copy for him but he ghosted me. Yet another "buyer"... ::) |
