What are f you all talking about, I was willing to pay 0.8 for the coin no problem with escrow from Miner Jones/ Og Nasty.
There was no rule of newbie dposit 0,2 so
Now Anduck gets 0.75 congratulations to you guys!
You're right there are no rules at all for this board. We self govern. You could not fulfill a 1/4 of bid deposit to validate yourself hence you were politely excused from the auction. At the time there was still two hours left(three now counting extensions), you could have gone to your safety deposit box or wherever you keep your cold wallet if you really really really wanted this coin. There will be future auctions and there will no doubt be Cas Silver Halfs around, I recommend you be able to fulfill whatever is asked of you because it will be asked for again in order for your bid to count. This was a 4 day auction. You had time if you were watching. An auctioneer taking a lower bid while there are higher unverified bids out there goes to show you the importance/value we place on trust and ease of transaction here. There have been trainwreck auctions for a long time in here and its just a cover your own ass kind of thing now, nothing personal against newbie/unfamiliar bidders but you will be asked for things like this. I did several bids, nobody complained. Then when it seemed like I would get the coin, the rules were changed. I wanted the coin and would have paid 0.8 for it. But sometimes it goes like this. From now on it goes like this. Why so hostile, I just wanted to buy a coin. Keep your skirt on jeez. But I won't bid on y'alls auctions anymore, don't worry. Feel free to PM Lauda multiple times daily if you have any more questions. They'll be able to assist you in the future. Grown ups are trying to do business here still. |

And then here is where the newbie bidder unable to prove themselves causes another problem, hopefully greenplastic knows that out of respect for his valid bids and someone possibly bidding him up that his bid was lowered, but now the current winning bid is what he had bid up to previous...
This crossed my mind also. That bid by greenplastic could have been kept valid, but it was on top of an invalid bid, so was lowered to a minimum bid after last valid bid. Can't really choose both to keep it at bidded value and lower to minimum. I think more fair option was to lower it to last+minimum than to honor "maximum bid" at 0.75. No longer an issue.  lol phew, it almost looked like a worst case scenario train wreck of good and proper intentions by Anduck aided by me lol |

0.72 BTC
0.725
Because we have been having this topic of newbie bidders and trying to establish how we want to self govern here I would say that because greenplastic was bidding over someone that can not provide a safety deposit to confirm his bids were official that either you move greenplastic's 0.75 BTC to your minimum increment overtop of comit's bid (the actual last valid bid) or let him take the first bid and replace the problem bidder. (in this case it is the same bid) Don't mean to derail auction but its going to mean that the auctioneer's need to nip these issues quicker. |

Also can you run this like killyou72's recent poll and only tally the first 3-4 votes while disrespectfully spelling people's names wrong

Yes it should be allowed. CanaryInTheMine could have just came out and bid 1btc each for coins #1 and #2 but he tried this proxy bidding out to maybe get them for a little bit cheaper. It then turned into somewhat of a game with the 0.XX9BTC bids. Amusing to watch but like I said he could have just came out and bid strong immediately if he really wanted to. Nobody wanted to press him once it got to 1.0BTC so I wonder if that was the height of his proxy bid terms or not.
Disclaimer: Trusted long term members should be able to do this no escrow, if you're a newcomer you'll probably need to escrow your top end bid.

As a thirsty potential buyer and long time collector of random things, why the hell would you part with these things. They're so damn rare and likely will only go up in value from supply/demand. I've got to agree with a lot of the other OGs here and encourage you to think twice of selling.
Otherwise I'll happily take one or two off your hands!
Kialara is also working on protective clear cases for the bars so they'll be able to be displayed and admired out in the open without fear of damaging them. |

Tough to find a buyer for all, but you are pretty much guaranteed to sell them individually due to others filling their collection gaps. Either way, impressive set you've gathered
Thank You - Maxed out couple cc to just complete this Set. lol This brings me back to when you could use Circle and your credit card for bitcoin payments. I bought a roll of 20 100k BTCC chips.. when they came I was so impressed that I said fuckit ima max this cc out with a roll of the 500k.. but they stopped offering that service in between that time. |

It's not like you're completely tired here!!! LOL
Proxy day added by CanaryInTheMine, continue bidding. Lol mind sharing what your top limit was? |

Beautiful...what are the asking prices?
Are there prices yet?
Due to the rarity/sheer beauty of the King Kamehameha set and the CryptoImperator Set my ask price would of course be astronomically/emotionally too high. What I put these out here for was for someone interested, old collector or new, to do some research and hit me with a fair offer. I believe things like this take a little bit more of an intimate one on one discussion back and forth to come to terms that make both buyer and seller happy. At the very least we get some of the new guys to the scene excited about the beauties from back in the day and what they can look forward to coming out from the very capable coin makers we currently have with us today. |

Edit: #1- 0.75BTC
haahah better before the edit gp |

Protip: To make CI's head explode, request to become a second proxy bidder raising bid by 0.001BTC per each bid cast in person or by proxy.

Probably unpopular opinion but with these DT changes and quite a few of the new DT1 and 2 members being Escrow Agents, there needs to be more neutrals handed out than positives. An Escrow Agent handing out a negative would in part be losing them possible service fees as they'll just get picked over for someone that hands out positive trust for <$50 deals. (Which is also somewhat of a problem)
Don't mean to pick on krogothmanhattan but it's an easy example as his list was so large. He didn't ask for DT1 and it was just out of the blue forced on him.. takes a bit of time for him to revamp it now but we just saw what sort of temporary havoc it stirred up.
To be clear I like and trust most of these guys but when you're vying for people to choose your escrow service over someone elses I think negative ratings kind of taint your image.. which DT shouldn't be gamed to turn a blind eye and not call people out on their shadyness to further your chances of being selected as everyones top 1 2 or 3 escrow choice.
