what I like best about them is they are pretty close to where I am. So I can take a half hour drive and drop off in person. I actually used to work within half a mile of where they are.
lucky bastard. I'm too scared to risk shipping across the pacific for grading, so I'm going have to wait for borders to open and spend a 30 hours on plane. Get to visit Hawaii on they way though, so not all bad. |

Deal may be in progress - will update if/when completed.
would love it if you could post any details, obviously don't if you're worried about anybody's privacy/security etc. Interested in these also, especially loaded ones, but hard to find any prices. |

Can we bid in viacoin?
Unfortunately, I would rather own bitconnect than VIA. However, just for you wheelz, if you win I will make a legendary one time exception and accept payment in Stellar Lumens, the future of crypto  I lol'd |

Did we do it? It no longer shows up even when I search for "privnotes".
Nice work everybody.

Yeah, if the website is not going back, which I doubt it will if sales are not returning, it would make sense to just dump a list here of all the public addresses and QR code strings that match them, so we can just check here ourselves. We could add it to the master list of coin address stickied, and stop hassling Tim with random emails, lol

Are any numbers available for the number minted? Is there a max total that will be made, or just however many are ordered? Is it possible to know how many of the 12.5's were made?
No, we don't have an artificial cap for the 6.25+ BTC Bitcoin Blocks. However, in practice, there is a limit, as these blocks can only be made until the next halving to 3.125+ BTC. For the last batch before the halving, we sold 24 of the 12.5+ BTC Blocks. (Those serial numbers were: AA013001 through AA013024.) Hope that helps! thanks, Bobby super helpful, thanks! |

Probably a stupid question, but from looking at a coin in a picture there is a QR code which points towards a non functioning website?
Also, how do you tell the difference between 2FA and private key Titan's?
Any of the newer Titans use the 1st bits as the code for the hologram, so should be able to use walletexplorer.com or smartbit.com.au to lookup the coin Older Titans use some kind of code which needs to be entered into their website... Once this is done, it should show if the coin is 2FA or Private Key. And you could only tell the difference if you either peel or the website is up (or seller tells you it's 2FA  ) So the 2013's without a website you are a bit screwed. That sucks, but oh well. |

The certificate of auth also shows 2fa or PK written on it by hand I think, but would prefer to be able to verify. Makes buying a Titan a bit difficult

Yeah this is tempting, love the idea of having a virgin block all to myself! Also love I take a lot less risk than usual shipping to Australia!
Once borders open.... you can always use a courier.  Yeah I think I probably will, especially if I buy something like that 5BTC Cas/Lealana hybrid that came up a month or so ago. That or meet half way in Hawaii  Problem is I don't think Australia will be opening borders anytime soon, we have mostly beaten COVID, don't think the government will chance it given how badly lots of other places are doing. I wouldn't be surprised if we are still closed this time next year. |

I would NEVER trust DHL in the US..... NEVER!!
Mind sharing your experience? I used to work in the financial industry and dealt with lots of contracts that had to be sent back and forth. The vast majority of these documents had to be sent overnight. Of all the services we used DHL was BY FAR the least reliable. who was the most reliable if you don't mind me asking? I have never had a probelm with Fedex, but have not used UPS enough to form judgement |

DHL are a customs broker themselves and have an agreement with some countries' customs, thus their packages are either inspected by DHL themselves, or never inspected at all, or inspected very thoroughly by the country's government customs.
All these options do ensure that the package is never "lost" at customs office, and that's why I insist on DHL shipping only.
The downside of DHL customs brokerage is - they always charge an import tax (even when a country's customs do not charge), and DHL's import tax is always higher than the government's customs (e.g. you will pay 20% import tax for an item shipped by DHL rather than 15% for usual postal service)
Are you saying you have to pay a 20% tax on top of bitcoin? So a $10k Cas will cost $12k? It's just an example, the tax depends on item type and description (e.g. "flashlights" will be taxed 15% by the government / 17% by DHL, "sports equipment" will be taxed 35% by the government / 40% by DHL and so on) and on declared item price (e.g. 100 USD item will not be taxed by the government but will be taxed by DHL and so on). The physical Bitcoin is a "Books & Collectibles" category item which import tax is close to zero, also you could (and should ) declare its price as $1k instead of $10k. That sounds better! I was going to say! Screw that! |

Please note that the seller must accept a guarantor service, I will not send the money directly. i.e. I send money to a third party (trusted user on this forum) and seller sends the coin to me, once I confirm the delivery the third party sends the money to the seller. I will pay the fee for the guarantor service. For the safety I will record a video of receiving and opening the parcel, and inspecting the hologram. Also we could just have a personal meeting for the deal I live in South-East Asia, we could meet in some big hub like Singapore or Hong Kong airport. It usually works that buyer sends BTC to escrow like minerjones, then seller sends coin to minerjones ( not you). As soon as he receives coin from seller he forwards on the bitcoin ( minus 1%), and then forwards on the coin. EDIT: also note insurance is impossible on bitcoins, I use the above method to import into Australia frequently, but if it gets lost/ stolen in the mail after escrow forwards you the coin, you are shit out of luck, and will lose your bitcoin. a VISUAL help with Escrow explanation   Interesting Krog, that's more inline with what the OP suggested initially than what I said. The issue I take with that, as a seller, is you would be assuming a lot of extra risk in sending an international shipment. If customs does steal it, or DHS lose it etc, what happens to the escrow? Does buyer get back escrow unless shipment says delivered? Means seller takes postage/customs risk instead of buyer. I wouldn't sell under those conditions, not that I ever do sell, I am a buyer only, but I always assume the risk as a buyer importing it into another country, especially one with customs who like to steal shit. |

No problem, this method is acceptable too. EDIT: also note insurance is impossible on bitcoins, I use the above method to import into Australia frequently, but if it gets lost/ stolen in the mail after escrow forwards you the coin, you are shit out of luck, and will lose your bitcoin.
You're a risky guy if you send $10'000 items via regular post I accept DHL courier service only! Using DHL won’t cover the parcel in case of loss/damage etc. You can insure the package up to the value it’s worth but as per their terms, it’ll be excluded from their coverage. This includes: • Any means of non-cash payment (e.g. cheques, ready to use credit-cards, fiscal stamps, securities, negotiable instruments, treasury notes and the like) • Bullion and all precious metals • Money of every description (e.g. cash, bank notes, coins, currency notes) Bitcoin (even in a tangible form) is a commodity that won’t be covered. As BTC prices rise, most sales will be F2F or sellers will opt to peel rather than sell and expose themselves to any risk. Exactly. I think it safer not to say it worth lots of money, more chance of being stolen that way. Customs is notorious for it. |

I want to buy a Casascius coin, common one - not "error" or otherwise rare - because common ones are cheaper Please PM your offers. Considering the rarity and an additional shitcoin balance inside I think the adequate price should be about 1.2 BTC. Please do not PM if you want to sell 1 BTC coin for 1.5-2 BTC The coin must be in mint/new condition, however I could consider slightly damaged (not a peeled hologram of course ) Very difficult to find the brass Casascius in better than MS67. Higher grades are more common on the Silver ones, but they go for much higher prices. |
