Title: Uk group buy, Choclate Casascius Coins?
Post by: dave3k on June 17, 2013, 08:33:27 PM
I am trying to gage interest in a group buy of these Choclate Casascius Coins.

Mike made them available to order for all, however they ship from the US ($151 shipping for 500)

I have tried UK suppliers, but no luck. (ether high start up fee or minimum order)

So, how many people would be interested in 100 for about £35 - £40 in bitcoin plus UK shipping? (maybe a bit more with customs)

I ordered a bunch for Halloween in the US last year.  There are a great conversation starter!

I do like the look of them, just a BIT to much for just me!  ;)

I think shipping from the US to UK was horribly expensive (I think Mike mentioned it); something like 70$. So, what about we find a supplier based in europe and ask Mike for permission to use the templates?

Would be great, however I am failing to find a good supplier, hopefully someone else can.
