Title: [Auction] 1 BTC BitBill 2011 beta v0.07 Intact/Funded (Ended)
Post by: Josh on March 23, 2017, 03:39:14 PM
The 1 BTC BitBill was funded with 1 BTC on 2011-05-25 and remains intact, in same condition as the day it arrived. Original owner.

Bids Extend Auction by 5 minutes. (No Sniping)
Reserve the right to cancel auction or deny bids at any time, for any reason.

I previously auctioned off a BitBill, which was successful in every way.

This is rather old info, but here's what I could find about the numbers.

how rare BitBills are:
20BTC: 181 (132 intact)
10BTC: 143 (97 intact)
5BTC: 144 (107 intact)
1BTC: 589 (492 intact)

As you can see in the photos, there are imperfections. In fact, no 2 are alike, each being handmade. Hologram placement, the laminating process, private key slip placement, each one is definitely unique in several ways. I am the original owner, and have not handled or circulated the BitBill since I opened the package on or about June 20, 2011.

It is funded, and intact. I have never opened a BitBill, but I understand that they can be redeemed. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitbills

The Bitbill launch was announced on May 9, 2011.
As of May 15, 2012, Bitbills are no longer in production.

Here is a link to the images of the card. I can provide more photos via imgur if requested, but I can't insert images directly into the post.

This is the blockchain address of the card, showing it is funded.

If you have questions, ask. Good luck bidding, and thanks for looking.

EDIT: Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking when I put March 15th, meant to be the 26th. Fixed.

1.40 btc

Wasn't there a newbie that said they had a full redeemed and intact bitbills recently? But went to the bank to get pictures and never came back..

I cant wait to see the ridiculous price this brings, I wonder how a 20 btc one would do in relation to the premium on a 25btc cas

I sold a Bitbill to greenplastic a couple months ago, everything went well.

A 20 BTC Bitbill would certainly be an interesting auction.

These ones are wierd to price.  Either way 1.6 i think is real good considering the amount of these that ever come up for sale.

I had one for sale a few months back and the premium was not crazy. The larger denomination stuff is pretty hard to move these days.
