2013 Casascius Silver + Gold Single MS-68

[wheelz1200]

Oh and just to be clear for the snipers, this closes at 1800EST not 1800EDT? Good 'ol daylight savings!

Exactly! You guys better bid it up real high now to avoid that scenario. I think a bid of 5BTC would be a really good idea.

Lol blazed you dont have a vested interest with a bid like that do you.

Oh My, a blazed auction featuring dazed, QS, TookDk, Cyclops, wheelz1200 - with TheAnalogKid to arrive shortly.

Will michael1 swoop in at the end?

My sniper rifle is loaded.

Haha you pretty much summed up a typical B-Dizzle auction 

I think there's about a dozen of us that just trade coins around in big circles. 

It may appear that way, but new collectors appear to be  coming into the space.  Shit, I am new myself. 

While 100% of my buys of physical Cas coins have been from just a few well known names, that is not the case with my sales.  The slight majority of my sales have been to newbies/junior members - many of who say it is their first Cas coin purchase.  Of course the cynic could say these could be alts of the same regulars, but I don't think so.

IMO the appeal of the Cas coins to a collector is very similar to that of old currencies which were minted during significant historic events - they are not being made anymore - if anything the supply will diminish - and they symbolize, in physical form, a time period/culture.

Sorry to derail your thread B-Dizzle, but as we have all pointed out, we have no where to discuss this stuff (which is absolutely ludicrous at this point).

If nothing above makes sense it is because I just returned from the pub.

Oh, and I bid 3.27

Cheers all!

There are plenty of newer people buying coins all of the time. I also notice some older accounts that randomly buy them. Casascius coins are an excellent purchase for multiple reasons. The values seem to only go up, they are easy to sell and get liquid, and they are part of Bitcoin's history.

I agree and plan to buy myself a gift in the near future of one of these beautiful very collectable coins.

Auction could get interestin now since  Lesbian Cow just got back from the pub and put a bid in.
Ahh there's nothing like buyers remorse after a drinking session, been there.

Ha, if I won this coin for that low bid there would be no remorse at all.  I believe this coin will go North of 4 BTC but we'll see.  The sniping in effect is awesome as it makes the end very dramatic.

I have now switched from cocktails to just, you know, blazedout...

I think cocktails would be a cheaper night but the Casascius coin will last longer than the hangover from the cocktails.
Good luck!

Ps, funny username but i would be a bit reluctent to try seach for you on google by entering that username, who know what might come up.

No I ignore forum time and set it to something easier... EST time zone. There should be no confusion that way. GMT -5

Cool!:) I'll pm u now

Lol, this has nothing to do with forum time. You misunderstood my question.

This has to do with the difference between the time references. EST is Eastern Standard Time (non-summer). EDT is Eastern DAYLIGHT Time (summer). Not zones. Not "local".

You realize it is 2240 GMT right now, right? By your own statement, GMT -5 is .... 1740!

But whatever, your auction, do what you will... nice sale

I live in the EST time zone...I go by that time. Right now it is 7:00 PM EST. Not sure why this is confusing as every single auction I have ever done is always based on EST.

Well since you posted that... notice how it says Eastern Time? Not Eastern Standard Time? There is a difference.

Either way, this doesn't matter anymore as you've called a winner. Possible my comments confused or neutered snipers, for that I apologize.

All I'm trying to say by all this is you've been inaccurately using the acronym "EST".
