I appreciate the consistency you use with putting all of you coins in airtite capsules with the black foam around them.
As a creature of habit, I tend to package my coins with consistency (I use mylar flaps with inserted description on opposite side.
It's hard to break habits, especially when you have so many lying around.
I try to keep the collection presentable. I am working on my new eBook that will categorize over 200 different coins. Its been delayed unfortunately since im just too busy. It WILL come out though. |

Have these been unlocked? any cords/headphones included?

Any problems with it?
If not, i may well be interested if you are open to negotiate.

Why does this seem exactly like goldbits's offer?
except its noticeable that the writing style is very different.
I dont think I want to roll the dice again and send money without escrow..

if I were goldbits i would just send first to blazedout. there's like 0.1% chance of him ripping you off. I assure GB that blazedout is trustworthy.

Just curious, lets say the the coin was graded at MS-65. How much would you guys be willing to pay for the coin?
A thousand bitcoins! Seriously though, beats me. Elianite was ready to pay 2.7 for this one. Go back 10 pages or so in the Goods and Auctions threads, let us know what you find  I ended up paying 3 BTC for an MS-60 |

I wont post the info about a small gold buying shop here publicly, because the owner will prob get a dozen annoying phone calls. If you absolutely insist, im willing to provide that info to one person who I can trust not to spread it. That person can call them and ask if they bought a gold buffalo on Feb 26th. They didn't give me a receipt. that's sketchy, sure. I forgot to ask for one. Im sorry people. we, people of Bitcointalk.org go as far as knocking on the persons door to get legitimacy of items and sales. We have done it to "companies" trying to sell us hardware, we have done it to people trying to sell here. if you want to take it that far, its not hard to track people down here.
Sheesh people. This is literally the most scrutinized marketplace ive ever come across. I regret even announcing that I bought the coin. Thought I was doing a good thing while taking a chance, but all the sudden im being suspected of this and that. You could virtually buy warheads on the international market with less scrutiny then on here from a 4btc sale. As for the wallet, I dont know when GB will move it. Looks like blazedout is looking to buy... time to get out the popcorn. |

proof of sale? who'd you sell it to? and why did they not do any tests? legitimate gold buyers would do tests, especially hole-in-the-wall shops.
you just made my paranoia notch go up by one buddy.
there was a magnet test, 'klink' test, electric resistance test, and standard inspection. no XRF. The first place I went ultimately turned me down since they felt that a 2015 coin was suspicious when taken into account that I got 'a good deal' for it on the net. Second place happily took it, albeit for 3% under spot. I dont have proof of the sale, and frankly I dont need to provide any here. Im just saying what went down. Take it as you will, with a grain of salt. I too wish GB used a reputable escrow; dosnt look like hes willing to do so in the future. its not my job to make you trust him. |

I sold the coin at a local gold buyer today. No XRF test, but all the other standard stuff.
I thank GB for a successful transaction. I can now vouch for the coins legitimacy, and I would personally do business with GB again without worry.
GB did not scam me; I of course cannot directly vouch for his future offerings.
I would ask anyone to remove negative feedback left for GB; its not fair for him.
Thankyou GB

I realize some of the more watchful members may think it odd that i keep responding / explaining myself, but w/e. This in an entertaining thread and im having a blast what really made you just jump in all the commotion over GoldBits and us and just say "Screw you guys, ima buying"? did greed/"gold Bug" kick in?
Greed. I PM'ed him and for some reason I felt I could trust him. I originally asked him to provide ID, phone verify, and get me info about the restaurant he mentioned he had. He declined all this (due to security of keeping gold at home), and suggested he will just wait till he gets the 'maplegrams' and have an easier time selling them at a discount to get rep. This is where greed kicked in (I wanted to take advantage of this bargain), and I said to hold on and that for the good price I can be flexible. I ended up trusting him. At best you are making it easier for GB to scam in the future by telling people about your successful trade, and at worse (and IMO more likely) you are either an alt of him or associated with him, also with the goal of scamming people via the GB account
What can I say; I made a gamble, and it (seemingly) turned out legit. I can vouch for the quality of the transaction, but not for the gold bars or future sales. I truly hope nobody gets scammed; everyone should make their own judgements. I cant prove I'm not GB or associated with GB. It is true this could be an elaborate scam. I can only wish I had the ability to plan that well. but I can say that is not the case. In this case the "buyer" happened to be near the "seller"
Actually, we were over 2000 miles apart. GB even paid out-of-pocket for express mail (~$50usd). Dont ask me why; I dont know. |

WTF???
I deal in alot of gold coins each year, buying and selling, and
those Alibaba clones look like a vending machine plastic coin.
They aren't even close.
Any collector with 6 months experience could spot that crap.
What a scam joke.
They actually even say 'COPY' on the reverse. not a scam at all. |

You got balls
Looks like they paid off A good warning for everyone. Its worth noting that the quality of the pictured coin is completely different then the real thing. im just sitting here waiting for the "..and the coin is fake" post
you'll know the final word within 24 hours. |

If you do sell it be interesting if the xrf test comes back good.
Do you know what kinds of places do XRF tests? how exactly does it work; would it usually cost me to go get it xrf'ed? I was thinking id just bring it to a local coin shop and see if they'll confirm it as real & buy it. and yes, its back in the capsule. |

the coin looks right, showing slightly under weight as it should be 31.1g but could be scales accuracy.
Changing my feedback to neutral, OP has delivered the coin as promised, authenticity still to be proven.
Not giving positive or completely removing feedback as lack of Escrow is a worry and could be a long con.
Will be interesting what price the maple grams sell at as Goldbits stated he did not have them in hand so selling at below retail price would be a concern.
Any chance of some clear face on pics of the coin and not angled shots.
Scale is showing 31.0, 31.1, and 31.2 seemingly indiscriminately. When set to OZT, it shows 1.00 or 1.01 as far as I can tell, its legit. It looks like I wont have time to have this tested today, but certainly tomorrow. |
