Auction End Timer: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20180211T235959&p0=263&msg=Silver+Garlic+Bread+Loaf+Auction+End&font=cursive&csz=1 (https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20180211T235959&p0=263&msg=Silver+Garlic+Bread+Loaf+Auction+End&font=cursive&csz=1)

Hi everyone, as I mentioned in my thread requesting feedback for the project (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2881839.0)

I'm not really sure how to price these, so I'm just going to open these up for auction, and I'll use the data collected from the auction to determine pricing for any future pieces. Each piece will have a certain level of individuality to them, so if you see one you are in love with, there is no guarantee I'll be able to make an identical, so don't delay!

Auction rules So I'll be started these off at their silver spot price. Please bid in Bitcoin increments, however I will accept Garlic, BTC, LTC, ETH, or most other exchangeable alt coins at your converted bid rate after the auction has ended, if you have any questions, please ask. The minimum bid increment is 0.0005 BTC. This auction will run from time of posting until Sunday February 11th at 11:59:59PM US Eastern time. To winners in the US, these will ship free. If you are outside of the country, I will charge actual shipping cost (under $5). Ideally I'll have them shipped out to the winners on Monday, so I can get your feedback as soon as possible. Any bids within the last 10 minutes of the auction ending time will extend the auction by 10 minutes. EX: a bid at 11:58PM on the 11th will extend the end time to 12:08AM, a subsequent bid at 12:05 AM will extend the auction end time to 12:15 AM.

Since these loaves are in different styles and weights, please double check which you are bidding on. Loaves A, B, and C, will also corresponds to the number tamper proof hologram sticker they will receive (A will get number 001, B 002, C 003).  I will receive the tamper proof holograms on Friday the 9th, and will upload pictures then. These are just simple 0.75 inch circular tamperproof hologram stickers with the Garlic logo centered, and the number. Functional, but nothing fancy.

I have no problem with international bidders, but please make sure that you are aware of any laws or tarrifs that may apply on the importation of silver. I will declare them at silver spot value through for customs.

Please use this example bid format ( A @ 0.006 BTC )

Please double check these photo collections for details on each bar. Each is the shown weight in 999 Fine silver.

I'm more than happy to use escrow with any mutually agreeable escrow agent, however I do ask that you pay any associated fees. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask. After the auction has ended, I'll give these a final shine and send them on their way to the winners.

*Edit* The tamperproof hologram stickers have arrived.

the stickers just barely missed the mail truck's loading time today, they will certainly arrive tomorrow though. And as promised, will provide pictures then.


highest bid here:

As promised, the holograms arrived today, so I'm posting the pictures. Like I said, simple, but effective. On a side note, if I go and get fancy holograms made for use on the silver garlic bread loaves, I will get in contact with anyone who has purchased one, and ship them the new hologram as well. That said, I'll probably just stick with these holograms until my next creation.

So beautiful.

Happy to pay in garlic if you prefer; it is tasty and as a root vegetable can stay fresh for several years

Current highest bid, and much appreciate  :)

I'm happy to accept just about any payment type. I'll convert some into BTC, an assortment of alt coins, and more metals regardless, so its all the same to me.

With that mix of payment options we could work a complex, but fun, deal as I have all those things.

Good luck with the rest of the auction, hope to see you at the finish.

Am I the only one who has never seen a garlic bread meme until now? I didn't know it was a thing until Garlicoin.

I've been active on multiple social medias for nearly a decade - what did I miss out on?

Current highest bid. Something else I forgot to mention, at the end of the auction, as I mentioned somewhere, I'll do a quick repolishing so they arrives as shiny as possible. I'd also be happy to apply a layer of renaissance wax onto your pieces if you'd like to keep them from tarnishing. Personally I prefer the metal without wax, and don't mind polishing whenever I feel like it, but if you want your piece to be presentation ready at all times, and prioritize that over the hand feel of the metal, I'd be happy to do it. I don't know how well the hologram would adhere to the wax, so I'd leave the bottom unwaxed.

You could always get lucky and get the pretty iridescent tarnish that comes from silver oxidizing without other contaminants present. The picture attached I believe is done chemically, but I've got a handful of silver coins that have tarnished similarly naturally.

In relation to this, the pictures below are related to something I'm working on. Hopefully I'll have results in the near future. All done properly, safely, and legally.  (also, before people give me flak about the lack of ring stands, everything was very stable. The heating mantle was cast to fit the bottom of the flask so it fits like a glove, and its solid)

*edit* I should probably mention that is Silver Nitrate, before I get people sending me PMs asking me how to make meth

Best line ever? :)

I figured I should nip that one in the bud before it turned into an awkward situation. You'd be surprised...

New highest bid, and as per the rules of the thread, the auction is extended by 10 minutes. It will now at at 12:09:59 AM EST time.
