It's quite possible I will release far fewer than 2000. Only a few hundred have made it into the wild.
I had hoped to have these ready and on the market for the Christmas shopping season but didn't quite get them out in time. Because of this, a few hundred sold. I am sure I could promo the heck out of them if I felt like getting rid of them, but meanwhile, given that BitPay's got the St. Petersburg bowl for 3 years, the way I am producing them now, it's economically feasible for me to melt & remint what I don't sell, to become another coin such as the 2015 coin. When they are no longer available on the Bitcoin Bowl website, that might well be the end of public availability for this 2014 coin.

Bitstamp has weathered some storms, so I wouldn't write them off just yet...where one stodgy old banker closes a door, a younger slicker smaller bank says c'mon down, we'll be happy to take your money...green is green.
In fact, small banks that truly "get it" are going to start realizing they would be better off using bitcoin to transfer funds between their own banks than the overly costly systems we have now (like ACH).

  It's a record of previous transactions dated back to the creation of the first bitcoins generated in 2009. The bitcoins are like blocks (in fact to generate them you have to "solve" a block), the ledger is like a chain holding the system together and recording every transaction so people can't spend the same money twice (double spend). If the system were not public, than double spending and central authorities would reign supreme, and trust would be issued to a Paypal like entity to oversee it, unless more clever methods are devised (checkout Darkcoin and some other similar projects). Just my two bits anyway. |

I hope you cashed in the 25 BTC when it was over 1000.  |

WC, if you will hand carve another one of these (or one similar)  and share with us a video of the carving process from start to finish, I will give you this 2011 Error Casascius coin as my apology.  You speak of the "blatant act of abuse of the default trust system" having never done business with CITM, yet you left me negative feedback and we've never transacted anything. Don't you think you're being hypocritical? Is that the Hindenburg? Nice touch. Boom Goes the Hydrogen. Kialara's calling you out WC. The funniest thing about all this, Smoothie's laser carving jokes have now got him orders for lasered wood carvings. Honesty will earn you BTC...Kialara just upped that ante. |

It depends, I typically price Craigslist slightly below ebay because of the lack of fees from Ebay and Paypal, and lack of shipping costs, so it's probably closer to real market value, where Ebay has a more 7/11 convenience factor.

I will be getting these graded for sure.
I think Ebay and craigslist are great indicators for price...we have a market that is hard to get into sometimes for a newb, especially non-technically inclined people, so these coins make it super easy for people with no experience to "get into" bitcoin, hence the much higher price tags...plus the risk of selling on ebay warrants a greater price-point to weed out the scammers.

Ebay likes working with their best sellers...and if you do it right, they typically side in your favor, especially if someone is trying to scam...they've been damned good to me.
