You purchased them?
Several unfunded bars have sold for around 5
BTC. I don't think that's an unreasonable premium for a 1 of 8 Casascius.
The most recent public sale is:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1171146.0 that sold in less than two days for 5
BTC.
around 5
BTC != 5
BTCSaying something was sold doesn't mean he got 5BTC.
Also, 5BTC less than 2 months ago would have been on target with my offer, but the BTC price has gone up since then. Issue is you are comparing cash sale vs bitcoin sales now.
If you want 5BTC, then stick to your guns and get it. Asking for 5BTC and then entertaining an offer of 3.5 is confusing. I was offering cash like everyone else, but if BTC, I would have offered more. (Not as much as mindtrip did though.)
I hope you get what you want.
I'm well aware but I happen to know that it sold for the asking price in this case.
I apologize for starting the thread out with a fiat value, I was simply continuing the conversation started by bithalo. I am all in
BTC personally and value all of my purchases and sales on this forum in
BTC. It is easier that way since the fiat value can fluctuate so quickly especially when trying to compare historic sale prices. This forum is one of the few closed
BTC systems and I like it that way.
I am not entertaining the idea of selling for 3.5
BTC but if someone is willing to offer 3.5
BTC perhaps there is some middle ground that can be found such as 4.5
BTC + shipping. Making a counter offer to an offer is simply good business.
I'm always open to opinions or suggestions. It will be interesting to see what the market is currently willing to pay for one of these, I might be way off base.
