I have one, which I am thinking of selling -- but I was going to get it graded first. Presumably you mention low grade/ungraded for price reasons?
Yes, price reasons...I'm the first to agree that a MS69 should command more than a MS68 and so on. Unfortunately I need to turn fiat into BTC to purchase these coins (since I burned through all the BTC I had). Anyone who is married can understand why I want a poorly graded or ungraded one...  I'm thinking ungraded in that you know it won't grade well so why spend the money/effort... not that it is perfect and hasn't been sent in. I can't believe I thought these were expensive a few years ago. Understood. I resisted getting my coins graded back in the day because I thought "They're new & in capsules from the creator, how different could they be?" (Plus, am I the only one who thinks slabs are ugly?) Then I stopped paying attention for a while -- but now that I've been looking through the forums again recently I can see how important the grading is to many and can make a big difference in the value. Ehh, it seems like such a chore! |

Can't wait to see them! I think you mean me to be down for #s 14 on the list, though, not doubling up on 13  |

Hi, those are beautiful. However--and I mean this genuinely--I have no idea what a Kialara Labyrinth is or why it would be worth what you're asking. I've never seen another thread here about whatever it is they are. Can you explain or provide a link?
They are a known thing, and there have certainly been threads here/been sold here. They are evolutions of the physical collectible bitcoin idea -- in the center is the round "coin" which itself is made of several pieces (key contained within), and that is then encased in a sort of nigh-indestructible bar/display case. The creator is now on his third wave of designs. The construction of these is epic -- many layers, lots of metal, tiny bolts sealed with loctite, I think they're pretty astounding to handle. Big fan! And the price is in line with other high-quality physical bitcoins. The Labyrinth design being sold here doubles as a game -- because, why not?! |

Is it the photos or the coin - all I can seem to see wrong is the gold wearing off in places - is that what caused the MS65 grade?
I've got one of these coins and the gold does look very faded on it, if I recall correctly it was a bit of a manufacturing defect. The user Gravitate produces microsoul coins so if you wanted more detail you can contact them I'll second that -- I have two and they both came that way new, looking kinda faded, and the gold is a little out of alignment in some places. I believe Gravitate is working with a different mint now. |

I've also had nothing but positive interactions with TitanBTC. I have redeemed a couple coins with no problems, and when I did once have an occasion to contact customer service they were extremely helpful & fast.
Their responses here seem entirely professional and reasonable as well.
And the coins are drop-dead gorgeous. It looks like most are sold out on the website, will there be more in stock any time soon?
Edit: looks like the "out of stock" message was just a glitch or something, as I see there is stock now. Great!

I'll try another (maybe) auction. Enjoy the dinner, family is more important  about the auction I think it isn't correct to accept other bid in this extratime from other users that didn't bid in time (8:00pm). But auction is yours and you decide. This also seems the most fair situation to me as well. The other parties had opportunities to bid during the auction and they did not. Now they are suddenly going to be given a chance? That does not strike me as a fair auction. I'll try another (maybe) auction. Enjoy the dinner, family is more important about the auction I think it isn't correct to accept other bid in this extratime from other users that didn't bid in time (8:00pm). But auction is yours and you decide. I disagree. I've had inquiries via PM from other parties who have not yet bid, and there is nothing wrong with watching an auction be extended and taking your time to make a decision of your own. Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly happy with the price and would be glad to call it a night, but I really would like to stick to the original auction terms. If no one else is interested, then there's nothing to worry about. Inquiries in a PM are not bids and should not be thought of as so. If they wanted to bid they had their chance up until 8:00pm. They did not bid so they should not be considered as bidders since they did not bid. I never said that inquiries were bids. It only meant that people were watching the auction. No, I reject the idea that one is required to bid early in order to bid late. The terms are as stated in the OP. They are not strange terms, they are fairly common. Just a few more minutes anyway. |

hephaist0s: is my 10.62 at 7:59:59 or Lairew's bid at 1:00:35 considered the last bid? Trying to figure out which is being used for the 30min. Does it end at 8:29:59 or 8:30:35?
Current end time is 8:40 pm EST and Lairew is high bid. Here's the thing: this auction structure is meant to be proof against sniping, since each bid adds 30 minutes from bid time, so everyone has another 30 minutes to consider. There is no reason to wait until the last minute except for the adrenaline rush and the terror of tempting fate. I literally planned my mothers birthday dinner a hour after the end of this auction so that it would not interfere with it. Unfortunately im going to have to bail out of this auction because of this rule. I do not have a means to bid while at dinner with her and I would not insult her by doing so anyways. Unless you would be willing to extend the end of the auction to be at 10:30pm? A hour and a half should be enough time for me to finish up and get back to bid. Otherwise all I can do is bid before leaving and hope for the best. I am sorry for the confusion, I did try to be clear in the original terms. I guess all I can suggest is to make your best bid now and see if it holds. My apologies if there was confusion. |

Bid needed is 11BTC?
Bid increments are .02 as per OP, but I'm sure we'd all rather rounder numbers as a courtesy. Newbie accounts need to prove themselves or be vetted in some way in order to bid, and at the last minute that is probably impossible. |
