Title: Where to get Casascius Bitcoins in Europe?
Post by: minimalB on January 02, 2012, 02:26:14 PM
Hi,

I'd like to buy few (1 to max 5) 1 BTC Casascius Bitcoins in Europe.

Does anyone have any idea where to get them?

Is maybe anyone here willing to sell them?

I can pay with paypal or skrill (moneybookers)

Thank you.

Bye.

Because shipping cost is over $55. And then i would have to pay 20% tax extra on top of everything.

Cheers!

I ordered two for delivery to the UK and shipping was nowhere near $55.

Customs left them alone as well. After all they are only little circles of brass.

Sorry, my mistake, $55 is from memorydealers.com.

I'll try Casascius, and thanks for the info about customs. Good to know.

Cheers!

They ship the "physical bitcoins" without the "digital bitcoins". When you receive them, they send the digital bitcoins to the addresses. So the extra 20% would be on the physical coin value only (which is not much).
