I wrote that I am ready to sell for the price that people are willing to offer.
In Russia, this money is worth one price, for people from other countries they can cost more and represent more value.
You basically just said: I know the value of these coins but won't list it, then just hope some sucker will come along and offer way more for them. That is a pretty dirty way to trade and I doubt you'll get anybody interested. |

Guys you can offer their prices, I'm not going to get impudent.
Have you ever sold anything here before? As several people have already stated, you will get more interest when you put a price tag beside all of them. Why you need the money is totally irrelevant to a buyer. Spend a little time going through your collection, maybe edit the images to label each item and give them a market value. Look at all the other trades around here, they are usually negotiated on a starting price - not so the seller can get the maximum profit possible. |

It seems sensible not to ship a coin loaded with this amount, I don't know whether you can even get insurance to cover the loaded value. Besides, if you are plonking down $26,000 on an item, it's probably better to spend that extra 5% to buy plane tickets and pick it up yourself

Your negative reputation might stop you getting many sales. In reference to the boxes though, number 3 might work but the other designs have gaps all over the front? It would come down to personal preference, but I think most coin collectors like to store them in fully sealed containers

Now, I don't know much about BTC-E, but from your description it's basically an issue of waiting because you cannot access your email address? You've already mentioned that google will take a few days to verify you as the owner of the email address, because you forgot the password to it, but that doesn't seem like a long time to wait and is not controlled by BTC-E. What caused the passwords to be reset at BTC-E is worrying though, but it seems they're being proactive about it. Some people seem to be so careless with their money..

Just for clarity, are you based in the USA? I'd love to get a bunch of grams of gold tested, but think you're in another country

There is a possibility they will catch the thief. It is a very stupid crime. There is a very small finite group of people that ever had access to the lists of private keys. The thief is one of those people. Since there is such a small group of possible suspects there is a chance the thief will be caught.
They will seize all of the thief's assets so even if he sold the BTC there is a chance we might get paid back.
Of course, I am not holding my breath waiting for this to happen.
But in the mean time I am suggesting that any claim on any of the recovered funds will probably involve proving you have the swept or accidentally unfunded coin.
So my suggestion is to keep your coins and do not sell them to all of these people saying they want to buy the silver unless you are aware that you may not be able to make a future claim - the buyer will get any future claim.
Seller beware. Just a thought.
You're assuming they had proper security in place on the system they used to create the keys and disposed of it correctly. If it was ever connected to a network, anybody on the planet with an internet connection could have downloaded the information - not that it removes their responsibility. Also, if the system was sold off and not properly wiped - recovery of files could have taken place later and they'll never know the culprit. |

It's a safer move for AT101ET (or anyone) to use an intermediary for shipping if they can. In my case I can likely drop off and pick up the shipment from ANACS directly, so the shipping to/from me would be able to be fully insured at the face and numismatic value of all coins.
I'm just curious, but you have no trading history here, why do you think anyone would use you as an escrow for Casascius deals, potentially worth thousands of dollars? Especially when bitcointalk accounts are sold here regularly and there are plenty of very long term users to go with instead |

You're presuming that Alitin is planning to reimburse owners for the theft, I've not seen or read any such intention. The statement provided by the Alitin guys here is a deep, sincere apology and an admission that they've initiated an investigation on the matter and themselves.
JR has told me personally, that I would be refunded the "value of the coin" in bitcoin. bithalo has also been told the same. I've been told the same as well. I also provided photo proof of coins held. There's no judgement to who did it, but a coin manufacturer out of the game for two years has little incentive to protect their reputation with the amount of money to be made. It could be a gamble: Redeem 50 coins, expect 20 people to actively notice and complain, then pocket the rest. |

So, it's nice of you to come by and introduce yourself, but nothing you've written describes the technical aspect of how it could be stolen? It'd be nice if you actually shared your theories, instead of just alluding to them. Were the keys created on an isolated system? Were they deleted immediately after the coins were created, and if not, why would you keep them? It's all very well saying you've contacted the FBI, but plenty of people thought they were smart enough to outwit the authorities and it means little.

So, this is pretty serious for anyone who had Alitin Mint coins really, did they give any indication of how it happened in your discussions with them? I guess bitcoin going so high means a lot more incentive for coin manufacturers to dig out the old wallets that were hidden behind holograms, I can't think of who else could have taken them on this scale if they were properly secured?

When I get home later I will happily post my proof of purchase and the other 2 serial numbers. I just wanted to get the post up and hopefully some interest. I will, however, scratch out my name from the receipt as I'm not one to post my name on a public forum for the world to see.
Yeah, you never did post this either. Also, don't get so wound up by people asking questions if you're going to post in the trading forum.. especially if you're selling expensive gold bars that have plenty of counterfeits in circulation. |

Err.. you're a big vague on the detail? Makes me think you're just trying to subtly advertise the website that is linked in your post. Where do you live or will need the car? Do you want a small engine or a big people carrier? There are plenty of ways to buy cars in the EU, so you have a confusing question.

Hi,  I have hotel voucher worldwide with 40% OFF if you intersted, just PM me with Name of Hotel, Check In Check Out day, Name, and email. I will send FIRST this voucher to your email, and then pay me with bitcoin If you are being scammer i will void this voucher :p Trial for moderator just PM me Wow, so many alarm bells are ringing that you should stay away from this offer. You cannot get 40% off every hotel worldwide, they all offer different discounts or none at all. You can find these kind of vouchers on places like secretescapes.com, lastminute.com or a dozen other voucher sites. That, or he might be selling you someone elses reward points that are hacked and stolen. So many things could go wrong with this random internet "deal" |

Because it's anti-semitic to not allow jews to live off of your work through parasitic, fractional reserve usury. The picture even looks identical to Krugman:
-snip-
Well, pointless antisemitism aside, do you not understand that transaction fees for bitcoin are also "fractional reserve usury"? Granted they are much smaller than traditional networks like visa or amex, but you're still paying a fee which defeats your whole "sticking it to the man" philosophy. |

I don't know anything about your history or why you're doing this, but how would you define bitcoin if not a financial instrument? As far as I know, it is commonly referred to as crypto-currency and many people trade it for goods and services.

Nobody wins except the arms manufacturers and a few executives at the top. You can bet Israel already has plans in place to neutralise the systems, but they're not going to show that hand until it's absolutely necessary. Iran will probably end up reverse engineering the systems and figure out all the technology needed to build it themselves in future

This has been going on for over 14 months. Todamont bought an unfunded titanBTC coin from a third party, threatens to sue, protect himself with a gun, and accuse titanBTC of securities fraud over a dozen times within 24hrs on a single thread Don't come near my fucking house Tim. I have a gun, and I never fucking sleep.
Yeah, below are some of Todamont's previous posts, take note of the dates. In reference to Titan bitcoins: Any chance of getting some of these "unloaded"? I'm building a collection of physical bitcoins and I'd like to add yours, but don't want to tie up any actual bitcoin value in them right now...
About two factor Titan bitcoins: I got one of your coins at the conference in Austin. I'd like to convert this coin into a cold-wallet with my own generated private key. Can I just buy one of your holograms?
If someone gives you a physical coin loaded with bitcoin, there will always be an issue of trusting the giver. What I want to do is remove the layer of trust, but still have a nice physical coin for my cold-storage.
I don't see the problem with selling stickers. Those silver qallets are priced at 3x or 4x spot value of silver, not a very good deal.
Apparently, this person never trusted physical coin manufacturers, yet still collects them.. There is no issue with selling stickers and this is why:
You have to trust the person you get a physical bitcoin from, sticker or not. These things *cannot* be used as a regular currency or exchange mechanism, there will ALWAYS be a factor of trust required when transferring them, and there is no way to get around it. The utility of physical bitcoins is as a cold-storage wallet, and little else.
Anyhow, I'm redeeming mine and putting a sticker from a different company on it, because I don't trust Titan to hold the bitcoins, or anyone for that matter.
Here he is asking a question to someone who is selling redeemed titan coins: So you are willing to sell it, but not willing to disclose the price you want?
Now, individually and without a scam accusation, these posts might seem harmless. However with Todamont not posting for a year and popping back on when bitcoin is at record highs.. is suspicious. |

Nothing new here ? SpectroCoin is a scam website who select victims in order to scam ?
It may be true, but I find it interesting that people are so eager to believe total newbies who sign up and post a scam complaint without any other history here. That these people are willing to store $50,000 to $100,000 on an exchange that is relatively unknown. It leads me to wonder how these vast sums of bitcoin were "earned" in the first place, was it really investors or could the bitcoin be stolen? That doesn't mean the exchange deserves to keep the money, but proof of the source of funds is usually required by most legitimate financial institutions (as a comparison). |
