Bitcoin Forum

Dear forum members,

I have cleaned out in my house and stumbled over a complete bitcoin magazine set.
All magazines are sealed and in mint condition.

SOLD

Including world wide shipping.

Escrow is always welcome.

Kind regards,

Nice set. Are you selling them as a complete set or will you take offers for individual ones?

Took, nice find.  Is it an extra one or your only set?  Wondering myself how much these go for dont see too many around.  Either way good luck and a great find for a lucky buyer.

Interested, but have no clue what to offer for them.

These are still technically for sale from the Bitcoin Magazine store.  Currently retails for $4,449.

These sets were in demand last year (or perhaps a little longer), getting 1 BTC or more.  But not so much with the price rise.  My guess is something between $2-4k for a second hand set like this is appropriate.  

It would be a shame to split them up. So they will be sold as a set.

Thank you so much for that link. It pretty much define the market value.
There is a good chance that I will accept an offer in that range, 2-4K usd.

Thank you :)
This is my only set, when it is gone then is it gone .

Fair enough...nice to own as a set. Goodluck! :D

There was a time where the collectible community had a sweet spot for gambling  :D ......
Would anybody be interested in a raffle?
E.g. a standard raffle, 16 tickets, and each ticket could be 0.025 BTC.
Shipping included of cause (they are rather heavy).

0.025 is a pricy ticket in todays money, I would also like to know what ticket price that would make you buy a ticket.

....

Also let me know if raffles are outdated and should be left alone back in 2017  :D

0.025 per ticket would mean 0.4 btc
which is kind of high imho

maybe something like 0.018 or something ?

Thank you for all the offers, I have added a price for the collection in the OP.

are u open to offers?
If u ran an auction ... it would definitely be sold then :)

If you are open to offers, I would bid 0.15 BTC.

I am always open to offers. I also agree with you, if running an auction with 0 BTC starting bid then would they definitely be sold.

Thank you sir, I have noted down your bid.

If you are open to offers, I would bid 0.16 BTC

:)

Where are these located by the way?

These come in sealed plastic correct? So you can't even enjoy reading them without hurting the value if collectors expect a sealed set.

Thank you for your bid, I have noted it down.
They are located in Denmark.


Yes, they are all in sealed plastic bags and in mint condition.
This is definitely a collectors item.

Outstanding thanks!

FYI - https://allthingsdecentral.com/products/bitcoin-magazine-complete-collection has the complete set for 2k, or ~0.22 BTC.

They will definitely accept 0.22 BTC from you.
However I doubt you will ever see your magazines if you order from that company :D

For those who are actually interested in purchasing this set, I have fixed price in BTC (0.25).
If your economy is based on dollar - now could be a good time to buy this set due to the low BTC rate.
Keep in mind; shipping is included in the price.

If you have not traded with me before and have concern about my ability to deliver - please inspect my trade record (trust) - and escrow is always welcome.
Thank you.  

I'd have to agree- wrote up a post about that company here- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2859480.msg29349777#msg29349777

saw some at a flea market last week guess I should keep an eye out for them in the future :)

Absolutely! Issue number 1 goes for around 200-300 USD in mint condition.

Take a look at what it goes for here  ;)

Nice, I haven't seen a number one in a long time though, seems like a year or two. I do buy and sell comic books now and then and I have noticed some magazines starting to become collectible the last ten years. Mostly stuff from the 60's or 70's that might have someone like William Shatner on it or another big TV star. 

Even TV guides are going for around $20 now with someone notable on the cover.  Use to get them for .50 to $1.00 all day long. These btc magazines have become very collectible early in life, good sign :)

I’m curious to know which has more collectible value, the mint uncirculated/reprint issue (as sold at the link above) or a mint first print issue that was actually shipped in the mail to a real address. (As long as both are still in the original, sealed plastic sleeve.)Since neither is specially marked as first print or reprint, the only difference would be an actual shipping address stickered  onto the sleeve. (Or was it stickered onto the issue under the sleeve? I forget.)

Regards,
Chris

I bought issue 1..do not recall label inside..but good point.

first issue ( original) always sells for more.  CGC graded or the like also command much higher prices as they eliminate all the unknowns such as re-print, missing pages/marks and of course certified grade.  good examples are 1 issue of Fantastic Four, Spider man and Superman ( Action comics) all in re prints as so few originals survived. Having an address label can be a plus it would depend on the collector. I prefer a label myself,  Confederate stamp collectors prefer used confederate stamps as it gives them more appeal being used during the war.

I just looked up CGC and it seems as if they only grade sports illustrated and playboy magazines exclusively unfortunately.

I was hoping to get mine graded... are there any other reputable places?

Let me know if you do find a good place..would love to have my #1 graded as well

Unfortunately I don't have any other magazines other than my #1 issue... maybe someone else can give it a go and report back here with some pictures?  Seems like it is quite a long process though... :-\

The magazines are sold - congratulation to the buyer for picking up this amazing collection.

Thanks to all of you for the interest and debate.

It is a long process, the last three comics I had graded took about five weeks total.  Some times they can have a deal too like 3 for $99  etc

here is a magazine CGC graded that Ive had my eye on a while but I would not pay that ask.

This trade is done - the magazine has been received by the buyer.
I am closing this thread.
