Thanks for the feedback, Og. While we won’t be gold plating these, we have kicked around the idea of letting the auction winners choose their own color of professional powder coat. The spectrum of colors is endless! In fact, we’ll be experimenting on our prototype next week — Metallic Copper! (The metallic colors cost 2x more, but we believe the coolness is worth it!) That’s right...a giant copper penny!

I understand that you're frustrated, KY. However, I hope that you'll remember a few things.

First, you never bid on them. You never won them. They were never on auction. You simply bought them on sale like everyone else.

Second, these were never stated by any means to be a limited edition product. We only had a limited supply in stock. This was even explained to you by another customer of ours when you complained at the time...


However, as I said before, please feel free to refrain from bidding or buying from us, now and in the future. I won't hold it against you. If you believe that you were somehow wronged, and you wish to boycott any BP product from now on, then that is your right, and I respect it. I am sure that you'll find plenty of attractive crypto-collectibles to buy for fun and/or investment. There are many wonderful makers and products on this forum.

Yes, we've traditionally adjusted the prices of our standard products to reflect increases/decreases in BTC-USD value. However, this is a special project, and not one of our standard products. We promised our pre-order customers that we would auction the final six manhole covers at a minimum opening bid of 1 BTC, and we plan to keep our word on that 1 BTC minimum opening bid. Even if it means keeping some of these in stock a while longer.

Personally, I do, whole-heartedly, believe that these physical bitcoin art pieces are worth at least 1 BTC each. In the near future, these will be a very memorable part of crypto-collectibles history, and the resale/flip value will be much greater than the mere 1 BTC, in my opinion.

Please feel free to refrain from bidding if you feel otherwise.

Regards,
Chris

Introducing the NEW Bitcoin Penny™ MANHOLE COVER Physical Bitcoin!

This MONSTER record-breaking physical bitcoin was this year's TOP SECRET summer project, and after many long months of development and production, it's finally completed!

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Our Bitcoin Penny™ MANHOLE COVER Physical Bitcoin is a special limited edition art piece that was originally conceived to be the world's largest, solid metal, physical bitcoin. Abandoning all sanity in search of the perfect medium, we finally decided to create this spectacular beauty from a genuine, custom-designed, bitcoin-themed manhole cover, made of the strongest traditional cast iron, poured at a real municipal cast iron foundry, and top-rated for all US roadway structural and safety requirements. (In other words, you could totally use this manhole cover on your neighborhood street, if it weren't illegal to drop it there without city permission.)

We created 10 of these magnificent limited edition art pieces. The first four (Nos.1-4) were pre-sold to help fund this amazing project. The remaining six (Nos. 5-10) will be sold on auction to the highest bidders.

This auction is for No.6 / TEN.

FWIW, that second link was mine, and it sold on eBay for $300 (with free worldwide shipping) or ~.06 BTC at the time.

Good luck with the auction. Super cool bars. I like them a lot.

LOL The table base/legs are from a cast aluminum (aluminium, for our non-USA friends) outdoor patio set the wife bought on Amazon for $97, or something like that. Amazon sells a BAZILLION different table bases in all shapes, sizes, and materials. (Free shipping with Prime subscription too!) A custom made hardwood base should be fairly cheap, as well.

No silver version in the future for these beautiful beasts. No re-releases either. Our special project is limited to these 10 specimens only, and it will be our magnum opus when it comes to giant physical bitcoins. One legendary coin is enough for us!
