Hi

I set up a group buy from Casascius which can be found here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315526
 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315526)

I have been asked about a group buy from Smoothie and the Lealana coins and would like to gauge interest.

It will again be on a non profit basis, all costs will be split the same as with the casascius buys. (Basically as fairly as possible)

I will come with more details soon, just throwing this out there for now.

Litecoins are here

yes, both ltc and btc sets please.

I'd be interested in a few coins (LTC and BTC). Would like to see the current prices of the LTC coins.

Added to the OP

Yea but these are the old prices when LTC was at $4 and possibly lower versus BTC too. I'm not willing to pay a markup of 12 LTC (now $360) for the 5 LTC coin. You should PM smoothie for the current prices.

I'll do that now.

May be interested in the Lealanas also

I'll be in a for a few

I'd be interested, subject to pricing

Here we go guys, prices from smoothie added to the OP

need to get our order in before smoothie gets shut down like casascius :o

That's what made me speed this up ;)

Shall we put a deadline in for people wanting to join. I think 20th December is reasonable, gives everyone a week to say what they want

I'd be in for a few brass coins

I would be in for at least 2 brass 1LTC coins.  Thanks!

if i throw in for some coins can i simply go pick them up from smoothie ?

Sure, but there's not much advantage to just ordering yourself :)

I'd like 1: "4-coin Bitcoin set - 2.4 BTC each"
Shipped to Krakow, Poland.

depending on how much the price will change due to the BTC/LTC price drop I'd be interested in 1x 25LTC and 3x 1 LTC coins

Would you be interested in including someone from the US? :D

Again, no problem, but i don't know what benefits that would give you. You will have to pay postage back to the US?  :-\

I was thinking it would be cheaper anyway and faster.. no?

Not sure, Smoothie will be posting a pack to me and then i will repost everything to everyone. So your order would have to come from Hawaii to the UK and then back to the US. On top of that you will be paying your share of postage to the UK and then your postage needed back to the US.

I think it might not be cheaper or quicker  :D

I have updated the 2nd post to show what you would like. Where people have been a bit vague I have put what i have taken them to mean. Please update if it is wrong.

Just three day left, don't miss out on these like I know some did with the Casascius group buy

Interested in a few LTC coins, is the price still the same as the first page?

Prices are much much different now for two reasons:

1. Prices have plummeted since I gave the quoted prices in the OP.

2. I am overwhelmingly swamped with orders. Demand has been so huge I'm having trouble just keeping up.

If OP is still interested in this group buy I will provide an updated price list. Just PM me. I apologize I don't have much time on the forum as you can tell.

Given I have not received any payment for these coins for this group buy I can't consider the order valid given that the prices have changed a lot since it was posted.

I consider an order as valid when I get payment. That quote is long past due and outdated. Once again I apologize in trying to keep up with the volatility of price movements.

I'll grab a price list tomorrow then as i plan on ordering on the 20th. :)

any news on the prices yet? If they are significantly higher I'd probably be out.

If the prices don't increase over 8 LTC, please add one of these to my order:
1/4 oz 5 LTC - 7.5 LTC each

I really wanna buy the 3 coin set, but I think holding onto some alts would be better. I could always buy these coins again

What happened to the price update?

Waiting for an update from Smoothie. I think he's a little busy.

Smoothie got back to me with an apology for the delay and an updated price list. It is in the OP and only slightly more to be honest.

Please get your exact order that you want in by 10pm GMT Christmas Eve and I will put the order together. :)

Well, half the LTC-price means double the premium ;)

Sorry, but I'm out for this one.

I'm in for "1 oz Gold 1 BTC silver - 1.25 BTC each" x 1

Cheers

scotjam

Same, gonna give this one a miss I think

Cool. :) If we are the only two buyers are you still good for this? Are you in the UK?

with more people pulling out, how do we do the postage split?

I'm still up for just splitting it if you all are. The only thing i can envisage is the fact that if you include the cost to send it on from myself then it might just be worth posting it to yourself in the first place. International postage at the moment is 0.09Btc. Split that between 3 is 0.03. Then from me to you needs to be cheaper than 0.06 to be worthwhile.

Surely there must be a few more collectors out there who don't want to miss out on these coins the same way they did the casascius ones ;)

Yup - I'm in (and I'm in the UK)

scotjam

I'm in, but I'd like to make a change, instead of a set, just these two coins:
1 oz Gold 1 BTC silver - 1.25 BTC each
1/2 oz LTC batch #2 - 18 LTC each

confirming my original order, thanks steelboy.

Am I too late for this?

Not at all. What are you after and where do you live?

Hi steelboy,

Sorry to chase, but we're now almost a week after the revised 24th deadline - has this order been placed?

Cheers

scotjam

Yeah, fair enough. I was hoping to get a few more people wanting to get involved but if it's just us then no big deal

So

Scotjam - 1 Gold 1oz 1BTC

Lazerdye - 1 Gold 1oz 1BTC
                1 x 1/2oz 10LTC Coin batch #2

Dozerz - 1 LTC Set and 1 BTC set

BTCapparell - 2 x 25LTC coins

If there is anyone else then please respond by 6pm GMT. I will PM Smoothie shortly after that. I will confirm prices if slightly changed too

Order has been sent to Smoothie for pricing. :)

Cheers mate - appreciate the update (and sorry to chase)

scotjam

I have send out PMs to you as reminders. It would be nice to get this moving. (I know you are just getting me back for being slow over christmas ;) )

Cheers

scotjam

Paid and PM sent with tx id :)

Any update here steelboy?

Thanks

scotjam

Actually yes. I received an PM last night. It has been posted. :)

He said USPS is the safest but the slowest method and estimates another couple of weeks. :) Wheels are in motion. ;)

Great - thanks mate

Shame - I would have liked to go in on this, even though the prices seem a little high.  Wasn't paying attention to the thread.  Hope you fellows who did get them love them.

Ok guys. The wait is over. I have the coins. :) You'll be pleased to know they look great.

Some bad news is there was a customs charge of £42.35 so this will be split between us as agreed. (Royal Mail handling charges is £24 of that as there was 3 packs in total.) That makes is 8.47 for each of us.

Postage to each of you will be worked out for each case. I am going to be away this weekend so if you are happy to wait until Monday for me to post them I would appreciate it.

I used royal mail special delivery before 1pm last time and had no problems. If you are overseas then get in touch and we will work it out.

Send me a PM and we will crack on. :)

did you get my message steelboy?

Just want to let everyone know that I've had a rough couple of days. Nothing too serious but enough to keep me unable to get this done. I will be contacting everyone tonight with postage costs. Sorry about the hold up.  :(

Just a quick note to confirm mine has been received - looks beautiful - thanks steelboy! Leaving you a positive trust rating now.
