Ive noted your comments on other users threads. Your defacto move is to de-rail a thread with trolling, unprovoked aggravation and name calling.

I have no reason to entertain such Indolent remarks.

As I said to Minerjones, just because it's the first time you hear something does not mean it's made-up. Perhaps it is a term invented or coined. I don't appreciate you calling me scammy, uncalled for and ridiculous. I don't sell used cars, I sell physical cryptocurrency. 

I plan on doing nothing with these coins aside from raising awareness for XMR within our community. We are bitcoin collectors, but I think it may be time for us to diversify and give the underdog (XMR) a try.

Not honoring a winning bid is incredibly scammy by you... as Scarce does not have a reserve option (believe me i've tried) so none was stated in the auction.  They do have a start this bidding at a price you are happy to sell it at and auction from there, but greed stopped you from taking advantage of that option as you were worried it'd get no action.  The fact the the item is in Chris' possession at Scarce and he is allowing this is AWFUL and strike 2!! (Strike 1 being extending an auction at the conference because someone important didn't like the current prices at the time of the original ending)
At this point REAL auction houses will be selling crypto collectibles and the people bidding won't have to worry if Chris will make a good or poor decision on that given day.

So disappointing to see such a lack of integrity in the space!

that was not an option when I last checked - it was for someone else's items - they decided to have me auction them on the forums instead.

their no reserve standing has had me not list a few items as well

what is this "start at a set price" thing? if someone wants a reserve they should uses that option at least.

Scarce should be involved with the escrow of the items on top of the funds. Scarce should have to physically have the work in their offices to host the auction that way the seller can't back out

In case you didn’t see Scarce.City is having a BAZAAR GRAILS auction that ends tomorrow. Some cool items including a Hero of Bitcoin Gameboy, Citadel21 Volume 1, 28 Days Later Opendime and a Cryptograffiti United Nodes of Bitcoin Note among other cool works of art.

Check it out if you haven’t seen it.

Hello, everyone.

Normally, I choose to stay far away from rumors and blind insinuations, but it now seems that it may be best to address some of the new accusations that are being thrown around about me and the company.

First, we are only behind on six (6) Spanish Treasures orders. That’s all. Six. (Full disclosure, there was a seventh, but that customer still owes $1,000 on their Spanish Treasures order, so we’re negotiating on the balance to get them sorted, and they should be straight by the weekend.)

Second, yes, we had a rough 2023. It was bad, but we’re almost through it all. (As I said, only a few more orders left to go out until we’re all caught up and in the black again.) Having a bad year is nothing to be ashamed of, and I’ve publicly stated that 2023 was rough on the business. That’s no secret. But having a bad year and being behind on orders does not make someone a bad person. A good person can go through a hard time. And as long as that person is striving at their best to make everything good and all customers whole, then they’re doing the right thing in my book. And that’s exactly what I’m doing.

Third, most of the people spreading rumors and accusations had never ordered a single Spanish Treasure and were never owed anything, so I can only guess as to their intentions and motivations for spreading falsehoods about me. (My favorite rumor is that my vehicle is leased. What an obscure lie to tell. It’s so weird. Maybe that’s why I like that one best. Gold star for creativity, rumor-spreader!)

Fourth, I’m truly sorry about Moonie’s struggles with us and PayPal. However, the idea that we actively stopped payment on any refund is simply untrue. The truth is that when PayPal charged that business account for the refund funds, the account didn’t have the full amount, so the bank didn’t approve the withdrawal due to insufficient funds. And after that unsuccessful attempt, Moonie told me that he’d still like the gold coin if I could make it for him, so I told him that I would try to get him that gold coin by year’s end. I mentioned that PayPal might still try to attempt another withdrawal. He assured me that if the withdrawal was attempted and received, then he would simply return the funds directly back to me, provided that I send him the gold coin. So I was working on getting him that gold coin made when PayPal tried the withdrawal again. At this point, I’m confused as to which I should have focused on—the refund or the coin. However, now that PayPal has made Moonie whole, the point is moot. For what it’s worth, I’m happy that Moonie got his refund. He’s a good person, and I like him a lot. To be clear, in my opinion, Moonie did the right thing by stating his case publicly, and I applaud him for it. (I still love you, Moonie.)

Fifth, it’s true that I took a personal loan of 1.0 BTC a few years ago. That member agreed to receive free products from every release as a sort of “interest paid” on the loan as long as the loan was outstanding. In retrospect, I should have focused on paying the loan off sooner. However, that person never once inquired about when I might pay it back, and of course, he was always happy to receive his many free products. However, again, it was my mistake to let that loan go so long, and I fully intend to have that repaid by summer 2024. In fact, I’ll be reaching out privately to that person tomorrow to make the arrangements.

Lastly, I want to readdress the first thing above. There are now only six (6) Spanish Treasures orders still outstanding. That is all. Of course, any outstanding order is bad for business, but it’s a far, far cry from the absurd rumors of Ponzi schemes and skipping town to the Maldives Islands or to wherever one flees with absconded millions.

The Bitcoin Penny Company has been serving the crypto-community for 10 years, and once we move past these last few orders, we plan to unreservedly serve the community for 10 more years and beyond.

In the meantime, if any of those six customers have any more questions or concerns about their orders, they may feel free to reach out to me anytime. I’m not hiding.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, everyone. And have a great new year.

Regards,
Chris@TBPCo.

So sad. I waited one time for a year to get my order completed. Eventually i swapped my order for another product. So if he owes you something he does not have maybe see if you can receive another product he does have. I know thats not an optimum solution but might give some closure. I feel sorry for the person with the 1 bitcoin loan. Thats a really cool person who tried to help a cool company. Hopefully Chris can pull it together and make it right. I dont think he set out to scam anyone. I think he just made bad financial decisions, not making excuses for him. I hope he responds here to discuss his plan for repayment. I think he could still fix this but it all depends how he responds

Just come back here after a very long time away!

Would like to know if anyone in the UK has some old mining hardware that they want to get rid of.

Just fancied firing some up again and teaching the lad all the crap we had to go through to make a buck back in the day!

Anything considered. I'm not looking for any ROI!

Thanks

Agreed. Donators should be refunded period at this point. I think this is the direction this is headed.
