I know simple machines is just a generic forum tool. And I know that people can put their location if they want. However, I think most people just never get to that.
I'm just saying it would be nice to have a thread-turned database (minus negative connotation) of the geographic locations of users. This of course should be voluntary. But there are just so many more transactions that can occur locally; something too big to mail, any sort of service, etc. What do you think?

Screw it, lets try this. You get a nice one of these: for .45BTC, in your mailbox in a few days.

Yes, getting BTC with real money is a pain in the ass. Bitinstant used to not be too bad. I could set up a deposit at my local bank, and the fee was only like 3%+$1.10. Now though bitinstant has contracted with some company "Zip Zap" it seems. There are no more bank deposits. The easiest way to do it now (I think) is via Moneygram at your local drug store, Wal Mart, etc. The fee is like 4% I think. You need to provide a name, address and phone number (although there is no verification). You tell them how much you are "sending" (its like paying a bill-you are supplied with a sheet that contains all acct numbers, $ amounts, etc) in the form of paying a bill, and then are sent to the cash register to pay. Cashiers in my experience have no idea how to perform the operation. They ask "how much are you sending without fees"? I say there are no fees. Confused, they ask again "how much are you sending before fees"? At this point I have to ask for the manager who 90% of the time knows how to do it off the top of their head. You'd think somebody would come up with an easier way to get BTC for cash. The demand is there. Shit maybe I'll do it.

Hi,
I have an iPhone running the latest OS. I hate blockchain. Is there any mobile alternative? The app store has nothing, but is there a site that caters to mobile wallets?
Thanks

If India wants to act as a private entity in the BTC market I am all for that. Although it seems like any government [barring third world countries] could pool their resources en route to controlling the BTC market. What I think is most valuable about BTC is the fact that they are not tied to ANY government, crazy revolutionary organization, etc. They are tied to the world's people.

If this doesn't wake people up I don't know what will

Up for sale is an EXACT copy of a 1933 Gold Indian Head coin. A real one (made of gold) is worth over $1,000. My friend gave this to me as a gift. At first I was literally speechless; then he laughed and told me it was a copy. Where he got it, I do not know. It even has a proper patina on it, indicating that its old. Its cold and heavy like gold, too. I am not passing this off as a real gold coin, even though I'm sure I could. I am not advocating that anyone who buys it does the same, but when you buy it, you own it. I am asking just
0.5BTC. That includes expedited shipping anywhere in the US.

The first picture is what the real coin looks like. The second and third are my coin, obverse and reverse. They truly are indistinguishable.

8 Bitcoins, 8 Days...eh...neh

ITEM SOLD
Hey everybody,
I have a 1963 Proof Set from the Philadelphia Mint. The Half Dollar, Quarter, and Dime are 90% Silver. It is still sealed in its original packaging-these babies haven't seen the light of day since 1963. I also have the envelope as well as information card from the mint. Although,  they are very slightly damaged due to old age and whatever else (note in pictures).
What makes this Proof Set different from any other year is that it (1963) is the last year the Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar was issued. After that and to the present day it is Kennedy on the Half Dollar. I bought this a while back from a guy who sold Mint Sets-that was his thing. He didn't know much about dates, so I bought this one for the same price as any pre-'65 (90% Silver) set (Yeah, Buddy!)
What I STRONGLY recommend is that you send the Half-Dollar to be Certified. It is in literally mint condition (maybe that's where the term comes from? haha). Certified its value would soar-its a Proof and its flawless. Any certified coin like this with a high score sells for A LOT more than if the coin was not sent in for certification.
Why don't I just get it certified? It costs money-money I don't have. But hopefully you do, make yourself some money.

I am asking 2.5 BTC for the Set and everything else, mailed to you.


Thanks!

if you lowered price and quantity i might be interested

Hey everybody,

The price of silver is rising, and its something most Americans have but don't know how to invest/sell it. Silver comes in the form of a lot of things - silverware; especially spoons, fine serving dishes/cups, jewelry, coins and a ton more. To know if something is really silver it MUST have either a "925", or "Sterling Silver", or "Sterling", and in some cases "SS". Also, US coins and foreign coins have historically been minted in Silver. Until 1965, every dime, quarter, half dollar, sometimes dollar coins were made of 90% Silver (note: if you have old coins check to see if they are a key-date before melting!). As far as foreign coins go, I would research online.

Anyways, my service is this: all of that Sterling Silver and Silver coins I can turn into a nice, custom-stamped silver bar for you. You can choose a purity of 90%, 92.5%, or 99%. Higher concentrations are more expensive-I have to add pure silver to achieve purity.

I will charge $5 USD (plus all shipping charges) for each ounce melted down. Weigh your Silver before you send it, you will receive back every last gram.

So, hopefully you let me consolidate your precious metal for you, making it something sell-able or investment-worthy.

Thanks all!!

P.S. I am in the USA

45 cents is what they cost at the post office. Why would I buy from you?

These things are garbage. They have a "Titanic" one, a "Nazi" one, a "Soviet Union KGB" one, one with dolphins or some shit. Not silver, not gold. Maybe dipped in the THINNEST layer of either. But these things are "clad". Basically, you want me to sell you a piece of metal with about $1 worth of gold on it? What if it has the Titanic on it?

Up for sale I have a vintage St. Pauli Girl Beer Bar Sign. It is about 3'2'' x 1'3''. On the left, it has the St. Pauli Girl who existed early to mid 1900's on a mirrored background. The right of the sign has a chalk board to right bar specials, drink specials, etc. There is a solid wood frame around the entire thing, and the sign is bordered by a beautiful inlayed border that reads:
"GERMANY SENDS YOU HER VERY BEST (bottom) ST. PAULI GIRL BIER-IMPORTED FROM GERMANY"
I have done some research on the sign and its definitely not a reproduction. There's a stamp on the back thats the address for a beer distributing company that existed in NY, NY until the 70's. If I had the space to put this thing I'd be happy to keep it, but my 1 bedroom is not quite big enough/the setting for it. It would go great in any backyard, home bar, game room, etc.

*The base price is 2 Bitcoins. That is just for shipping. Otherwise, please send me a message with your best offer (any offer), and I will consider it. Thanks!*

PLEASE DISREGARD. PURCHASE WAS NOT FINALIZED, LOOK OUT FOR ANOTHER POST. SORRY TO REPOST BUT I CAN'T DELETE

Hey everyone,
I'm seeing a lot of things for sale here in the marketplace with the Bitcoin logo or some kind of Bitcoin reference. Things like money clips, tie clips, physical bitcoins,  shirts, etc. Can anyone go to Cafe Press, make their own Bitcoin shit and sell it? I have to believe SOMEONE owns the copyright to the symbol and all things related. Am I right?

"I am no longer offering a reward." HAHAHHAHA. Just admit you're wrong, its no big deal. This stupid argument had me so confused. At first I was like "ok, I'll always use UPS when I ship bullion, then I settled for Registered Mail, then I didn't know what to do! I'll go USPS Registered Mail. Sending things like bullion is why such a service exists. Support USPS too-they're not doing too well financially and they were one of the first US government institutions (founded by Ben Franklin). That, and they are an institution which exists to SERVE the people. They have my business everyday, whether I'm mailing a letter or
$1,000,000 in Gold Bullion (via Registered Mail lol).
