Official BTCC events/auctions/announcements, will obviously still come from "BTCC_Official" account.

I'm posting here as "BTCC_Official" so that people know that "bobbyclee" is indeed me:

Thanks for participating in the auction everyone. Congratulations to the winner zanzibar! We'll post payment details in the original post shortly.

Yes, the auction ends ~11 more minutes from now.

Hi, the auction ends in six hours.

Only 24 hours before the end of the auction!

The reason we start at 15 BTC is because we sell regular Bitcoin Blocks at that price on our store.

We figure that some of you may specifically want these 2 blocks, which is why we're putting it up for auction.
(If it doesn't auction, then we'll keep it!  )

thanks,
Bobby

It is pricey.... But who can say that they own the block right after Bitcoin's Second Block Halving ever!
It's a piece of Bitcoin history that you can literally hold in your hands!

You literally cannot buy something like this even if you had planned for it.

And together with block 440,001, it's the perfect pair of Bitcoin History for 2016. 

Remember, you can always be rich... and now, you can be famous.

thanks,
Bobby

Update regarding Product A:
This block, number 420,001, also has a very special "coinbase" message that's mined into the block.  You can see the coinbase header message in the TX link above.  Here is the message:
Welcome to 12.5 BTC blocks! BTCC & Bitcoin Forever!

This "Forever" message is both directly hard-coded into the coinbase header of the block, as well as being laser etched onto the back of the physical Titanium block.
