Auction has now ended.

Winning bid was yimfinity with 1.19 btc each and demo coin has been won.

Please note: We're into sniping overtime now: Each bid in the final 15 minutes adds 15 minutes until no bid has been made for 15 minutes.

Yeah - sorry - I was just thinking that I should have said something about that myself.

Current highest bidder is yimfinity with 1.13 BTC for all three coins

OK - Due to the cloudflare outage I will extend the auction until 11.30pm WAST - (1 hour from now)

New Auction end time is https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20190702T232959&p0=196&font=cursive

Bidding may recommence

AussieBTCs:
I cannot PM you so I must post it in the auction directly. (User 'AussieBTCs' has not chosen to allow messages from newbies. You should post in their relevant thread to remind them to enable this setting.)

I noticed you've bid on my auction and you are also of Newbie status.
Looking at your previous posts I'm a little worried - you seem to be selling off your own collectibles in other auctions for 'personal reasons' and 'health issues'.
Can you explain why you're bidding on my auction if these are your circumstances?

As per my auction rules at the top: "Excluded from Bidding: I may exclude/disqualify bidders, or require a deposit, for any bidders at my sole discretion. If you are a brand new account, or have issues in your trust feedback, please PM prior to bidding."

Auction has closed with no bids.  Guess I'll try again another time.

So it's been a few days now and it seems like no-one's interested?  

What is it that's preventing you from bidding?

• Is it the price?
• Is it that you're worried about authenticity?
• Is it that you don't trust me yet?
• Is it that I've taken crappy photos that don't do it justice?
• Already got plenty of 2011 Casascius coins and don't need any more?

I'm open to feedback!

My first auction on here so hopefully I'm doing this right.  I copied the layout coblee used, but my images aren't coming out.. oh well - here goes!

So while I'm asking questions..

What's the best way to SHIP physical bitcoins (like Casascius coins) internationally?

In my case i'm in in Australia and I'm guessing most of the people bidding here are in the USA or Europe?

From my experience - as I've sold a few on eBay a few years ago:
I have used Australia Post and DHL but unfortunately had a bad experience with Aust Post.
I sold one to a coin collector in Berlin and via Aust Post and it arrived fine - I forget how I declared it but simply as a medallion or something.
I sold one to a coin collector within Australia via Aust Post and it arrived fine.  No declaration for local stuff.
I sold another one to a coin collector in the UK via Aust Post and this one I declared properly and got insurance as well.  This went missing somewhere between Australia Post and Royal Post UK.
Australia Post refused to cover the insurance claiming it was a coin and I shouldn't be sending coins - despite the fact that the local post office guy said it was fine.
In order to satisfy the coin collector I sent him another one - this time via DHL and I packaged it up with a cheap $10 webcam and declared it as a webcam.  It arrived fine and the guy was surprised at first (and freaked out) but happy in the end.

It was a pretty nerve wracking ordeal and I haven't sold any on eBay since.
So I'm hoping you guys might have some better methods of sending and insuring your collectables?

ok - thanks the heads-up on telegram
Have reached out to minerjones via email

Yeah, I've already messaged minerjones on telegram to get details on his escrow and hope to use his services.
