Title: Anacs Grading Service Request Post by: AT101ET on March 05, 2017, 11:26:56 PM Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone in the US would be willing to accept some coins on my behalf, ship them to ANACS and then ship them back to me (in the U.K.) once they've been graded. I've never personally sent coins to ANACS so would prefer to use someone who has experience with them. If you can help please send me a PM. Thanks Title: Re: Anacs Grading Service Request Post by: Lesbian Cow on March 05, 2017, 11:39:30 PM I imagine blazed would be a good source for what you need.
Title: Re: Anacs Grading Service Request Post by: HabBear on March 06, 2017, 12:16:16 AM I live near the ANACS facility, I could probably drop off and pick up the coins directly, saves you some shipping costs.
PM sent. Title: Re: Anacs Grading Service Request Post by: klaaas on March 06, 2017, 08:18:57 AM MinerJones (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=346731) can help you out

I have used blazed before to do this and it's currently going well, lol. I think I should have my coins back in 2/3 weeks Title: Re: Anacs Grading Service Request Post by: Blazed on March 06, 2017, 03:18:26 PM I can handle it for you if you still need...just send me a PM.

Yes, I would agree that Blazed is most probably the best option. thanks! Title: Re: Anacs Grading Service Request Post by: HabBear on March 06, 2017, 04:07:54 PM Actually, using ANACS for shipping and insurance is a risky move. ANACS will only insure each physical crypto-coin up to $100 (~82 GBP), this is less than the current face value of any Casascius coin! Let alone the numismatic value.
It's a safer move for AT101ET (or anyone) to use an intermediary for shipping if they can. In my case I can likely drop off and pick up the shipment from ANACS directly, so the shipping to/from me would be able to be fully insured at the face and numismatic value of all coins. To AT101ET, it's knowledge like this that I believe you're looking for, keep that in mind as you make your decision! I think most people prefer the direct shipping, as people send the coins with insurance and most of us send registered mail. So while this is a nice offer, I would imagine you would not want to be responsible if something happened while you are transferring the coins to and from ANACS. MJ, the OP specifically asked for an intermediary for shipping.

I'm just curious, but you have no trading history here, why do you think anyone would use you as an escrow for Casascius deals, potentially worth thousands of dollars? Especially when bitcointalk accounts are sold here regularly and there are plenty of very long term users to go with instead Title: Re: Anacs Grading Service Request Post by: owlcatz on March 06, 2017, 06:41:25 PM It's a safer move for AT101ET (or anyone) to use an intermediary for shipping if they can.

You clearly have no idea of what you are even offering, so my suggestion is to start over in Digital goods and start by escrowing some Amazon GC's or something. You seem to be casually inserting yourself into very high value trades and offering to act as escrow, which in my opinion, looks like you are desperate for any kind of trust here - IOTW, You may very well be well intentioned, but you are doing it wrong. ::) Title: Re: Anacs Grading Service Request Post by: HabBear on March 06, 2017, 07:03:17 PM You guys are hijacking AT101ET's thread with these comments.
Since I'm being called out, I'll defend myself, but only to the point that it benefits AT101ET's decision making.
For the rest of you, there's nothing casual about my offer to provide escrow services. It's a serious offer for people with serious needs. The editorial comments are just wasting people's time, they aren't constructive.

I didn't expect this thread to blow up like this.
Thank you for all the offers. I think I've made my mind up so will be sending a PM or two shortly. Thanks for the help. Locking the thread now. |
