Very generous ^_^

Did you create this but not sell it? Or was it returned from a previous owner?

For privacy, will not be publishing ownership history of the item.  I warrant that I have the authority to conduct the sale.

Sorry nope.

The money goes directly to eff?

As I understand it, the remitting of funds is straight from PayPal to EFF after a delay to allow for returns and such.  Also I understand eBay and PayPal forego their cut and remit 100% without fees as EFF is a charity they've approved for their "eBay Giving Works" program.  This is the first time I've ever done this so I'm going by what I've read (besides getting assistance from EFF to ensure the auction was properly registered as benefiting them), if anyone knows differently feel free to chime in.

Cant realy see cuz on a phone. The money goes directly to eff?

I would appreciate it if you kept your giant bids off of this auction and let us have a chance. ;)

If you want to donate a large amount still do it though  :P

Aw that's a shame. I would of started the bid at $10K if it were a 1K redeemed gold coin in the original capsule. So.. if those ever come up, let us know!  ;D

It says not shipping to the UK. Is that right Mike? Any reason why not?

Strange, on the ebay website it says it doesn't ship to the UK like steelboy has pointed out. But on my phone app it says it ships to GBR  :-\

Nice piece of history, how many of these were ever made?

I have a bunch of bars and coins, maybe it's time to sell some. No 1000s though unfortunately.   :)
