Title: [Auction] 1 BTC BitBill 2011 beta v0.07 Intact/Funded
Post by: Josh on January 11, 2017, 05:59:18 PM
The 1 BTC BitBill was funded with 1 BTC on 2011-05-25 and remains intact, in same condition as the day it arrived. Original owner.

Auction starts now. Prior post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1746531.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1746531.0)

Starting Bid: 1.2 BTC
Increments: 0.05 BTC

Auction will be valid until Sunday January 15, 2017 8:30 pm Chicago Time CST
Bids Extend Auction by 15 minutes. (No Sniping)
Reserve price is 2 BTC, if auction does not reach reserve by end date, auction is cancelled.
Reserve the right to cancel auction or deny bids at any time, for any reason.

Escrow is required, via a trusted forum member to be agreed upon such as Blazed or minerJones. Max fee 1%, split by buyer and seller.
Buyer pays choice of tracked shipping rate, USPS Priority Small Flat Rate Box, Fed-Ex, etc, package can be insured if buyer wants it; will be packaged between cardboard, inside zip-lock bag to prevent bending or moisture, and padded.


This might be old info, but here's what I know about the numbers.

how rare BitBills are:
20BTC: 181 (132 intact)
10BTC: 143 (97 intact)
5BTC: 144 (107 intact)
1BTC: 589 (492 intact)

As you can see in the photos, there are imperfections. In fact, no 2 are alike, each being handmade. Hologram placement, the laminating process, private key slip placement, each one is definitely unique in several ways. I am the original owner, and have not handled or circulated the BitBill since I opened the package on or about June 20, 2011.

It is funded, and intact. I have never opened a BitBill, but I understand that they can be redeemed. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitbills

Here is a link to the images of the card. I can provide more photos via imgur if requested, but I can't insert images directly into the post.
