Title: WTS 100 trillion Zimbabwe $ notes

I already posted this in currency exchange but it also qualifies as goods.

I've been exchanging the 100 trillion zimbabwe dollar notes since January (bitcoin-otc irc, various threads here aka guerrilla marketing p.ex. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3433.msg48267#msg48267) and still have fun to spread the hyper inflation message.

to be honest, I used to give them away for free but since I discovered bitcoin, I charge the shipping costs and since I sold out my 2009 stash, I also charge the approximately value converted to bitcoin.

I started a 2 day promo at .85 btc a piece (what a discount from the 8 btc from January!) to help me convert some Z$ trillions into bitcoin fractions. And not to forget, I mail my Z$ notes with post stamps with pictured bitcoins. Beat this, competition! : ))

I purchased three notes to two addresses, all arrived as of today, promptly and unscathed. Thanks binford!

100 trillion zimbabwe dollar notes since January

a couple months ago 0.25 btc or so would buy a 100 trillion zim.  what is ironic is that since the zim is no longer issued, bitcoin is a currency way more inflationary, ... at the moment, and that shows as you've increased your price to 0.85 btc?

ha, great contrast though.

good point that Z$ gained recently if paired with bitcoin. and they have both limited supply ; )
and the Z$ as collectible revalued from 1$ do 3.50$ creating even more pressure on bitcoin

for the record I was not selling them in June. I had a break from march to august so I see my offer as a price drop from 8 btc to current levels (I do however experiment with pricing according to my competitors in thread 42000).
