Post an address so the rest of us can send you a small tip for your time and efforts

Edit: @L6E - Need to clear something up. You mentioned at some stage that the proceeds from those extra coins were going to charity. Is this the case?
If so, then am happy to give you a tip. If you are keeping the money from the auction of those 10 coins, I think you are doing quite well already

There was only 6 for sale anyway. All 6 have now been purchased. The remainder of the 10 or 11 they said they had, will be auctioned on the forum.

Fair?

This is what you call fair??

You exploit a flaw in the system to get the very first coin, somehow get "lucky" enough to get another one - you then go and sell them to private buyers at inflated prices to line your own pockets - and then you manage to get yet ANOTHER coin as well?!

You call this fair?? Right.

I have been trying, like everyone else, to get one of these coins at the allotted time. There is no chance in hell that a human is making those coins disappear so quickly. This is a script. End of. And until it is proven differently, my stance on that remains firm.

If you don't want to figure out the BTC wallet, and you still want to sell these on the forum, then your best bet is to deal with Blazed, who has commented above. Speak to him by PM, make a deal, post him the coins, and he will make you a cash payment in one form or another. I cannot think of anyone else on the forum who will give you $. I think all of us will vouch for Blazed.

Get us some pics later on, and shoot him a message. Sure you will be able to work something out!

There is no way in hell that watch weighs 500g. As you have said, more likely 50g or so.

This is an obvious scam, be it a "legitimate" one. Reel people in with a great price for a great looking product, but don't mention the cost of shipping.

Notice how the cost of the watch was mentioned instantly, but it took several requests to get the OP to mention the price of shipping? This is because they are trying to delay making it public to make their offer seem attractive for longer. The OP makes very little money off of the actual watch here - the shipping is where he makes his money. Notice that even at $32 for shipping to the UK, that insurance is not even included in that? It is "optional", and therefore adds even more to the cost.

So, how much for the added insurance then, OP?

A breakdown if you were in the UK and wanted to buy 5 watches.

Watch x 5 @ $6 = $30
Shipping x 5 @ $32 = $160
Insurance x 5 @ = $ ?

Not such a bargain now, is it?

ikydesu - you have tried this at the wrong place. Most bitcoiners are not stupid, as much as you wish they were. Not many people are likely to fall for your pathetic attempt at this "legit scam". Either do things properly, as in charge ~$20 for a watch with real shipping costs, or don't bother at all.

As for me, I am no longer interested in these. I am not prepared to deal with a user that uses shady tactics like this.

To everyone else: If you are going to deal with this user, make sure you use escrow. Yes, he has admitted to being okay with that, but don't let that lull you into a false sense of security and deciding to send the money straight to him. Check his trust. Stay safe.

LOL!

So... $6 per watch, but you want $21 $32 shipping PER watch on top of that?! Hahahaha.

Good luck with your sales. I am not paying those prices, and I don't think anyone else will either.

Edit: thanks cryptoheadd

Yep, here as well. Now some people have managed to get 2? This has really turned out fair... 

Yeah, need to be cautious

OP, if you will accept the use of escrow (I will pay the fee) then I would like to take 5 of these please. Again, how much is shipping to the UK??

Thanks

I would have liked to order a few of these as well, but checking OP's trust has made me a little wary, so I will go the escrow route if I do make a purchase.

I know the amount is insignificant, but better safe than sorry. How much is shipping to the UK? I'll take 5 of these if the price is economical.

Thanks

$5 to an address supplied by Rmcdermott927.

Locking until digicoinuser wants to confirm receipt.

Thanks

Winner winner crypto dinner! You got a steal here digi

Will shoot you a PM shortly.

Thanks to all for participating. This auction went for $25 worth of bitcoin. I will donate $5 to @Rmcdermott927 for his chosen charity.

Thanks,

Just one hour left on this.

Current high bid is digicoinuser @ 0.035 BTC.

Welcome to the forum! We all love Casascius coins, so you have come to the right place!

As others have suggested, please upload some pictures of your coins (along with a note with the current date and your forum username) to Imgur and make a post with the links. One of us will then show the images for you.

As for escrow, usually the seller and buyer would choose a mutually agreeable person on the forum to act as escrow in a deal - not a company. There are a number of people on this forum that are trusted to act as that third party - such as Blazed, OgNasty, and minerjones, to name a few. Nearly all deals made on this forum are in bitcoin, and not fiat currency such as US dollars, unless you are able to arrange a face to face meeting with a trusted forum user from your part of the USA.

If someone sends you a message asking you to meet for a face to face deal, make sure you do some due diligence to ensure they are legit. You have some valuable coins there, and you are new here - be wary of scammers.

Have you ever used a bitcoin wallet before? As this would likely be required for you to sell these (as this is how you will be paid). If you then wanted dollars, you would send those bitcoins to an exchange such as Circle or Coinbase for example, where you can cash out into US $. Bear in mind that registering with these entities requires AML/KYC checks - so you will have to prove your identity and link a bank account/debit card to cash out. It is a lot easier if you had all of this set up already.

May I ask how you obtained these coins? Did you buy them on this forum, direct from Mike Caldwell (Casascius), or did you use somewhere like eBay?

As for the values of these coins, here is a rough estimate.

Your Casascius All Silver 1 BTC coins are not worth 3.5 BTC in current market conditions unfortunately. Ungraded Silvers have been selling for around 2 BTC each lately, maybe a little less depending on the quality. Some high graded ones have even gone for less than that recently. 2 BTC is ~$1,430 as of the time of this post.

Your MS63/65/65 Casascius 2013 0.5 BTC Brass coins are worth around 0.7-0.75 BTC each, maybe a little more depending on a few factors. If those coins were graded by ANACS a good while ago, then they could potentially grade higher if sent back. This would increase the value of them slightly. A rough estimate of value for an ungraded 2013 Brass 0.5 BTC in US $ is around ~$500 - $550 each. Again, we need the pictures to give you a better idea of value, this is just a rough valuation.

All in all, you have around 8.1-8.5 BTC worth of value across your 6 coins - which is roughly $5,750-$6,000, for all of them. Getting cash is going to be hard, unless you put them on eBay.

If you know how to use a bitcoin wallet, this will be much easier for you. If you don't, selling your coins on this forum will be difficult, unless you find a trustworthy member in your area who will meet you and pay you cash for them.

Hope this post helped!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures

Cheers

Yep, me as well. No luck from here either. Think we might end up having to fight at auction for one of these 

High bid. This ends tonight. Currently very short of the $60 goal

Not at all "disturbed" man. You are just not going to get any useful responses in this section. The goods section is a lot more suitable and you are likely to get more responses from other members. Just trying to help

I have decided that should this auction go for $60 or more, then half the proceeds will go to Rmcdemott927 to donate to his chosen charity.

Please see the OP for more details!

Thanks!!

This is not the correct section for your query. You have posted this same thing twice here today.

Try "Goods", this is not a collectible.

This should be fun.. wonder how many of us are going to be sitting there ready to snipe them?!

Well, there wasn't anything special in the packages received today - just some shirts and pens - but not even one poker chip

Guess we'll see what arrives tomorrow then..
