We all know of the casascius gold bars; the 1000, 500, 100 BTC versions, but more numerous then those are the EMPTY bars meant to be loaded individually. Of these non-denominated bars, there are TWO TYPES; 1. The normal 'plain' Casascius storage bar 2. The 'plain' bar with the PUBLIC KEY printed on the front, as-well as Casascius.com/2factor printed above the stamped 'gold plated bearer bar' text. EXAMPLE of #1 http://www.ebay.ca/itm/CASASCIUS-PHYSICAL-BITCOIN-GOLD-PLATED-BEARER-BAR-UNFUNDED-BRAND-NEW-/171229005380?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27de0b4644 EXAMPLE of #2 http://imgur.com/a/s3TLr#0 9/10 times when a bar is sold, it is #1, with #2 almost never appearing for sale or being mentioned. I believe this is a sign of rarity, and would potentially put the value of such bars much higher then the others. Clearly, the value changes depending on condition and dramatically if it has been redeemed previously. I'm more interested in what the valuation might be of identical bars, in the assumption thet they are both brand new, unredeemed, and in the original plastic cases. Has there even been a public sale of a #2 recently? I think this is a matter that is best settled here. Are any production numbers or estimates available? |

He told me he is not selling anymore (if I remember correctly).
I am not selling via escrow, I just don't do that -- amagi doesn't do it, no shop does it, and I am basically a shop, well kind of. Selling a small handful of coins doesn't make you a shop, especially with a 0 trust rating. It makes you a random guy on the internet like the rest of us. Let me ask you this, instead of giving that 5% discount, would you be willing to put that towards paying someone to do escrow? Basically I pay spot price to the escrow, they take 5%, you get 95%. It's the same as if you were selling directly to me except a lot safer for me. The cynicalism on thse boards never ceases to amaze me... This guy is a freaking VIP and Hero Member... That VIP part means he's DONATED 50 BTC to the board....and you say he has no trust? I'm just about tired off all the suspicion here... |

Its the .5 BTC cas coins with a S2 I believe hologram that are rare with a total mintage of 45. There are a lot more S3 if I'm not mistaken.
The markup was too high from what i recall, even direct from casascius. Correct. Im talking about 0.1 BTC, with total mintage of 798. due to my costs and the need to leave a bit of room for profit, They would be priced certainly at no less then 0.5 BTC each. (my cost is above .3 BTC each, not including getting them here from Europe, plus risk of lost package. If anyone is interested, let me know. |

Forum user Elianite has agreed to reserve three graded coins and is sending 1BTC deposit to address in my signature. Elianite will post transaction ID in this thread and I will confirm deposit as received.

These coins are actually rarer then the 25BTC coins; with only 798 created by Casascius.
I have a connection to acquire up to about 20 of these coins. Is there an interest for them?
I plan on ordering some according to interest and re-selling.

I'm posting this for my girlfriend who is an artist. She made two beautiful abstract bitcoin paintings that belong together. She doesn't have any bitcoins yet, but she'd like to give this a try. If this works, she will make more bitcoin paintings. Let's show her what the bitcoin community can do  Here are some photos of the paintings:    The dimensions are: 40x50cm each The materials that were used are: acrylic paint on a canvas on a wooden frame with a thickness of 1cm The paintings are sold together. Bidding starts at €80 and the price excludes shipping. Payments in bitcoin are preferred. When there's more demand she can make more paintings (but it's limited because making them costs a lot of time). doe she have any website to display her other works? Any idea what sipping to Toronto might be like? |

As a new user you probably want to st least put your username on a piece of paper in the same photo as the coins.
I did a reverse image search; the photo is original. |

you're Asking for trouble with paypal.
Paypal can be alright if he uses the 'send money' option and says its to family. Paypal will have no record of the word bitcoin or anything, and I dont think it can even be reversed. Don't take my word for it though |

If these coins start trading hands willy nilly to anybody with anonymous middlemen, in tact coins will begin being emptied and the guilty party won't be reasonably identified. It will destroy the secondhand marketplace for Casascius coins, as the seller will no longer have any liability and will blame the middleman, regardless of if the seller is being dishonest and pinning the theft on you, you were dishonest and stole the coins, or the buyer was dishonest and stole the coins and then complained it was the middleman or seller.
This idea will end in tears, as the buyer of a compromised Casascius coin will have no recourse but to call you and the seller scammers without being able to identify the guilty party beyond a reasonable doubt.
The middleman/broker will have to take responsibility. As far as the buyer is concerned, they are the seller. To me, that means that as soon as the broker receives and inspects the coin, the seller should be paid and be finished with the sale. The broker asserts that the coin is legitimate, and if it's not, simply returns it to the seller and refunds the buyer. I think that's the only way to protect the actual seller. That also means that if the buyer isn't happy with the coin - it's not as described, or it gets emptied sometime after the seller gets his payment, the broker will have to pay for a refund or replacement, and that might be an unacceptable liability. ; you got it right! everything in your 1st paragraph is exactly as I see things. If the buyer was unhappy with a coin, then that could cause some issues. One idea which I have been considering is if I sealed every sold coin is a special casing which would show tampering. After a buyer opens the capsule, a refund would not be possible (the grade could be altered, or worse, the buyer could have hacked the coin only to attempt a return). Another prudent thing to do on my part might be to take accurate photographs of the coins when I receive them, and have the buyer approve that they are a similar quality then portrayed in listing (perhaps this would be the point at which I release escrow BTC to seller; if the buyer declines the item and original price based on the photos, I simply return the coin to the seller and get the escrow BTC back). In order to make any return after that; they would need to demonstrate that what they received in the sealed but see-through capsules is different then the photos they approved. In the case of a coin being emptied after a sale...that would be bad (and the 1st case of it happening). I would likely be unable to accept liability for such a thing, but be completely open to a fraud investigation which could follow, and forward seller information as required. I may insert it into a buyers agreement that I cannot be held responsible if such a coin hack happens, which should prevent liability unless of-course there was evidence that I was actually doing such a thing myself (which would be fraud and a criminal offence). I believe such a thing happening at-least in the starting phases would be unlikely, as my subjects of brokered sale would be rare coins valued mainly for their collector value, many times above the btc value; making them undesirable targets for hacking.. |

Senior member/Donator scammed me... don't judge based on account age or status here...
+201.7 I've spoken with elianiate via PM off and on over the last few weeks. Yes we should all be cautious, but I'm really encouraged to see a centralized hub for these collectible sales. The 'collectible marketplace' thread was not going to scale well. With a solid m-of-n escrow service, I'd be very excited to try selling a few of my offerings here. Sorry for the question, but what exactly do you mean by 'm-of-n escrow'? I have not encountered the term before and a search gave no results. I appreciate your enthusiasm, and am happy to take advice you can offer in making the site brokering system more safe and trustworthy for buyer and seller. Ill be upfront of the fact that as a business I am trying to make myself a profit. While i see privacy of both parties being valuable in their own right, it is also true that I would prefer that buyers don't cut back-room deals with sellers privately, and thus avoid a brokerage fee i would otherwise fairly earn. Do you have any suggestion for preventing this to some extent? It will destroy the secondhand marketplace for Casascius coins, as the seller will no longer have any liability and will blame the middleman, regardless of if the seller is being dishonest and pinning the theft on you, you were dishonest and stole the coins, or the buyer was dishonest and stole the coins and then complained it was the middleman or seller.
This statement is a valid one. Perhaps it would make sense to keep sellers identities private initially, but release information after a sale is complete? Perhaps PGP chains of ownership could also be provided to buyers in some cases along with their purchases. I don't see how this could ' destroy the market' or have more of a negative effect then Ebay sales. Do any of you see a better way in which I could provide a brokered sale style listing of coins held by others, with the goal of replacing the sell-thread which Chainaw is moderating? I am obviously looking for a method from which I can earn a reliable commission while reducing risk. |
