Title: Casascius coin selection eBay has gone to shit!
Post by: Possum577 on December 19, 2014, 11:23:02 PM
Three months ago you could find many loaded Casascius coins available for sale on eBay. Today, there are maybe two. But there are a ton of copycat coins. The copycat coins (e.g., Cryptolator, Lealana loaded with BTC, Ravenbit, Serp, Titan, etc.) all look nearly exactly like Casascius coins and the sellers always include "Casascius" in the product title, which proves the owners of these copycat coins know they're merely weak substitutions to the real thing.

Where are the Casascius coins, I can finally afford them!  ;D

I have an opened silver with gold B,  1 BTC casascius coin, if you are interested.

Don't know why I opened it while I was drunk one night. Stupid stupid decision.

I'm sort of passively looking for a Casascius bearer bar, I did a search for them and tons were sold 6 months ago at a reasonable price even! Not much on the market now. Has the Casascius market dried up?

I've seen some decent Casascius coins on eBay here and there, but yeah it's definitely not throbbing right now.

When you spoke of copycat coins I know you were mainly just talking about follower companies in the physical Bitcoin scene, but eBay is Ripe with counterfeit physical Bitcoins. The main ones I have seen repeatedly for a good while now: Titan BTC, Lealana Litecoins, the Silver Bitcoin Specie, and, somewhat strangely I feel: Antana Bitcoin Statistic coins. Loads of those for $1 or 2 Location: China. Buyer Beware, but if you really know what you are buying they are easy to spot. I would say overall though it hurts the resale value for the real coins, say- a real Titan 1 coin. No average person (light/beginner BTC enthusiast) thinks of buying the same coin they see all over eBay but for $500 more.

I would probably trade it for another crypto coin, unopened (obviously probably unfunded). Hm with a lot of interest above it might be worth auctioning.

2011 series 2, any all-Silvers, that's probably it.

I would like to see one of these Doge coins that someone was talking about recently.

I will get back to you on the brass .5's.  I don't have what I need right now to give a price.
search casascius silver ms-65
it should be the only result

Its been peeled back and the coins are gone from the coin. The sticker is only partially messed up as I was careful to pull it back and I pushed it back on so it looks completely fine at first glance in my opinion. Gonna think of a reserve price and probably auction it and have someone trusted who generally doesn't show interest in funded coins (through forum post inspection) to tell them what the reserve price is.
