This auction is for one Crypto Candle, new in original box

The candle is new condition and never lit, and the aroma is very nice. Box is in great shape also. This was a business that was around until I believe 2018. Each candle has a token encased in the wax. Once the candle was burned, the numeric token could be redeemed for .1 to 1 Bitcoin. The company is no longer around, and the website appears to be no longer active. There are still other social media pages active if you google "crypto candle," but they do not appear to be updated. A very rare piece.

Ebay has one that I can find with a listing price of $599.99:

I am not sure if the ebay candle is the same run that was used for yours, or if they are different? your post says it comes with a token redeemable for .1-1 btc, but on the ebay one it says this information
 " HOW MANY WINNERS ARE THERE?
For every 5000 candles, 1 candle contains 1 token that may be redeemed for 1 Bitcoin, 2 candles contain 1 token each that may be redeemed for .5 Bitcoin, and 50 candles contain 1 token each that may be redeemed for .01 Bitcoin."
Since the website is down I guess it doesnt really matter either way.

I think the website is down so redeeming is not possible.

I'm debating bidding on this candle in the hopes that the website comes back up.

I have no knowledge of multiple "runs," I am only seeing they created these one time. The Ebay candle it NOT mine, just one of the only other Crypto Candles I found for sale currently when researching.

Again, going off of research based on what I found online. The Steemit link has some good information: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@philnewton/crypto-candle-fun-or-scam

Thank you to those who have bid, and good luck!

Maybe because of the local laws at the time the business pushed this product out? Does anyone on here have knowledge, or participated in this? It would be interesting to hear from someone who possibly won? Maybe a new thread needs to be started  ;D
A cool collectible with yummy smells, nevertheless. Great eye candy for the office, as they are good looking pieces.

TNM holds current high bid at .015 (Thank you!)

It's absolutely a skam-a-roo.  I remember doing a deep dive on this candle a couple years back and read over all the rules, it's completely geared towards never having to make a pay-out. I can't remember the exact details but it was obvious, and yeah the registration in the B.V.I's certainly doesn't hurt that narrative.

I should have traded you Spokan, good luck with the rest of the auction, this is a cool piece.

I have received a PM from jackpotato that he would like to cancel his bid.
