Right.. as the delivery date of these beauties approaches (current estimates given are 2-3 weeks), I have decided to hold one unique, one off auction that I will not be able to repeat. THIS is your chance to get a Kialara Moon Series 3 Bar Suite, a 2 Bar Set, and a 1 Bar Single.

So, this auction consists of 3 individual auctions, but in one thread.

This auction will run in the style of BitAddicts ABC format (thanks for the great idea there, BitAddict), with the Suite being A, the Set being B, and the 100k Bar Single being C.

There has been a reserve price set on the Suite only, the Set will sell irrelevant, as will the 100k Bits Bar.

The reserve price has been given to minerjones, Lauda, and Lutpin. One (or all) of them will confirm once (if) the reserve price on the 3 Bar Suite has been reached.

Note that the "Hammer Price" includes shipping, there will be no further costs to pay*

*I am NOT responsible for any taxes and import duties you incur when having these delivered outside the USA. I will cover shipping only.
The 3 Bar Suite will be shipped by courier for extra safety and security, as will the Set. The Single Bar will be shipped via a tracked, signed and insured method (USPS).

Now all of that is out of the way, lets get to the good stuff, shall we? :D

This latest series from Max Mellenbruch sold out extremely quickly, and for good reason. In my opinion, this is his best work yet. I am thrilled, and cannot wait to see the completed products. Please note that because they are still in production, I only have what images that Max (Kialara) has shared.

There is, and will only be 21 Suites. Ever. 2 are being kept by Max as far as I know, which reduces this to 19 Suites available. This is likely one of your only opportunities to obtain a Suite of the 2 BTC Bar, 500k Bits Bar, and 100k Bits Bar with matching numbers.

There will only ever be 79 Sets as well, most of which will never see this forum or the secondary market. These are his most valuable pieces yet.

Each of the three bars houses a piece of our actual MOON – sourced from world-famous meteorite NWA 5000. The ‘two bitcoins’ denominated piece contains a larger and more rare, crusted section of the meteorite.

Included in each bar: One troy ounce of .999 fine silver (NWTM), colour-filled with 24k Gold Select, NWA 5000 lunar meteorite sample roughly 4mm x 4mm x 3mm, stainless steel enclosure with mirror-finish, two large & two small mineral glass crystals and steel retaining rings, public & concealed private bitcoin keys behind newly-sourced, tamper-evident holograms. What pictures have been shared, look simply amazing.

Escrow through a mutually agreeable person is also welcome. You pay any and all associated fees. I reserve the right to request upfront payment from newbies and users with little to no trade history. I further reserve the right to invalidate any bids that I deem to not be honoured, and also refuse members with negative trust from participating if their history is shady.

Cheers and good luck :)

Can confirm I've been given the reserve and will watch the thread to let you know once it's reached.

I love the colorization on this coin.  Very well done.

I will update this twice a day going forward.

C @ 0.05BTC

A) 4 BTC

I need to make a correction in the OP of this. The timer is still correct, but I have put 19:59:59PM EST, when it is 23:59:59 EST. Apologies for the error. The timer may be "correct", but this was supposed to end at midnight GMT, and 8pm EST. Not changing the timer, this was my error.

Edit: Oh man, I really screwed this one up. I am not changing anything, the timer does indeed end at midnight, EST time, so that makes it 4am GMT. Apologies for this guys. Screwed up there.

Again, I don't want to change anything in the auction when a timer has already been added, so I just need to put the correct info there along with the usual no sniping rule that I have used in every auction I have ever done. There will be no further corrections, everything is now as it should be.

<- idiot.

Lolz. Damn time zones and lack of sleep.

B) 0.5

Wow.. let's see where the market goes with this

C @ 0.075BTC

Please check bid increment and correct if you would like, I don't believe it's valid.  ;)

my bad, corrected  :D

digicoinuser is correct.

icey, your bid is invalid. The next valid increment would be 0.025 more than the current high bid, so it would be 0.075 BTC for "C".

Thanks digi :)

Edit: bah, bad timing! Your bid is now valid.

C - .15BTC

Round up for today so far. Will update again tomorrow/when necessary.

High bids -

A) TheNewAnon135246 - 4 BTC
B) TheNewAnon135246 - 0.5 BTC
C) therealNano - 0.15 BTC

Have a great day/evening all.

A: 4.1BTC

As a precaution due to you being a new member, I have sent you a PM asking you to please provide proof of funds.

Thank you.

---

Edit: lemmerk has sent me valid proof of funds with a signed message. His bid is valid.

4.2BTC

A: 4.2BTC  :P

C : 0.2

A) 4.3

This should be fun and definitely a unique opportunity to get in early!! . I can't imagine selling my To the Moons just yet and suspect the same from many of the buyers.

High bids:

A) TheNewAnon135246 - 4.3 BTC
B) TheNewAnon135246 - 0.5 BTC
C) chronicsky - 0.2 BTC

Cheers.


Totally understand where you're coming from bud, but this an opportunity to set the market going for these bars. In a way, this auction should benefit all holders of these new bars! This should be an interesting week.

A) 5 BTC

Strong bid there, Branduardi!! Wish you the best of luck.

I will go ahead and say that this is not far from the reserve price.. this is looking like it will sell.

Good luck everyone!

chronicsky, you don't want this, you've got enough.

0.25BTC

Market is not pricing these rationally at the moment -- the Kia originals have x7 the supply..

C) .275

Another discussion about what is rational and what is not? Great, that didn't crash an auction in the past or something.

Min bid increment 0.025BTC on C, current high bid is 0.25

Fixed in original post

hahah! i can't stop myself when they are so cheap

---

0.3 BTC

Give it time!
They still haven't released... when people see how good they are- the demand will get pretty high and people will miss the chance.
The price for original and rest went high after 2 or so years..
gold went 15-20x after a year or so
Give it a year and we shall see :)
compared to original , there are only 250 of these , out of which 100 are taken in suite and two bar set - which actually makes it around 150 only :)

Exactly!  These are easily Max's most detailed/creative Kia's yet (w/low mintage all around).  There is a reason the perfectionist artist is making sure everything is perfect with these..happy to wait until he's happy with them!

High bids:

A) Branduardi - 5 BTC
B) TheNewAnon135246 - 0.5 BTC
C)  chronicsky - 0.3 BTC

Many thanks to everyone helping whilst I have been away the last 12hrs!

B @ 0.525

---

Damn this is an auction and a half. Nice to see the suite being auctioned off (Just posted in the Kialara thread regarding this). Will be interesting to see where it all ends as well. I'll try my luck wit the Set as I believe that will also be a very sought after collectibles bundle. Anyhow, best of luck with the auction!

Thanks H :) This is certainly one massive auction, and a little risky as well - but might as well start setting the market prices for them, eh?

That 2 Bar Set is still way under-priced, it cost more in BTC when ordering than what the current bid is. So if you get this for 0.525 BTC, you got a bargain and a half.

Appreciate the good words my friend, and hope you are well!

---

A) Branduardi - 5 BTC
B) Hhampuz - 0.525 BTC
C) chronicsky - 0.3 BTC

Cheers!

Sorry. I skimmed over the rules.

This auction will end later tonight/early morning, depending on where you are :D

I guess people are loading their snipers. Pretty surprised nobody is bidding on these beauties.

In the OP the auction end time is 19:59:59PM EST, but the countdown timer link is set to 11:59:59PM EST.

Which is the correct end time?

Yeah I screwed that whole thing up as you will see in my later posts.

Go with the countdown timer. Will correct OP.

Cheers!

Someone was talking to me! Booooooo:(:(:(

Congrats green!

Whew! Thanks rusbit.  ;D

PM sent, Zepher.

Congrats greenplastic and rushbitcoinuser

Interesting to see what these went for. Would this set the market price for these bars or do you think that the price may have been slightly higher than other auctions since this was the first public auction of its kind?
Congrats to the winners BTW!

Hmm this went for way less than I expected, would of loved to place a couple of bids but I was out at the end of it, oh well. Hoping you didn't take too much of a loss Z! Will be looking forward to the next auction if you make one!

Congrats to the winners.

My personal thoughts?

The Suite will sell higher once in hand, and that's if you can even get your hands on one. ~7 BTC

Sets... ~1.5 - 2 BTC

Singles... ~0.5 BTC.

I was actually attempting to set market prices here, and I have absolutely no problem with the results here. But I think all will sell for a little higher once they are actually delivered.

I personally know of 6 Suites that will never see the light of day on this forum, along with the 2 that Kialara himself kept. That brings the total amount to a maximum of 13 Suites that may come up at some point.

Sets... Of the 79, at least 20 will be the same as above.

Singles.. Obviously no idea about them. I possess another ~10 which I will sell slowly, along with a couple more Sets.

Cheers


Can happily say I didn't take any loss here bud ;)

More to come? Sure, Sets & Singles. Auctions? Likely not.

Was this the *first* ever auction for the Kialara Moon bar?

Was this the *first* ever auction for the Kialara Moon bar?
[/quote]

Auction ? Yes!
there have been 1 or two sale here and there of it, am not sure they got sold or not though...
For auction , yeah it was first and one of it's kind.. Don't think we might see one like it anytime soon, if ever...
There was though the full kialara set auction which had 100k bar along with option to upgrade to two bar set or suite!
