thinking of putting a price on it, but wondering why the price bidding is lower than a bought "void" .5BTC brass coin....just dont know how to value this with not many sales.

watching for now

Good question.  There 'may' have been around 12 void coins made, but of them, there are likely fewer still around that didnt get lost, thrown out, etc.  Maybe 6 left, give or take.

There were 8 of these bars made, all of which likely still remain intact, due to the fact they're unfunded and they were made about a year or so ago.

They're both very rare items and difficult to price without other previous sales.  But for reference, bitguy101 was selling his remaining non 2FA bars for about $1699 on ebay, and they all sold.  The rarer 2FA bar (only 4 made) sold for $1999 each.

Oh wow, I came back to quite the bidding war!  Grin

The bar is still in the plastic wrapping. The assumption is that there are no finger prints or scratches with the protective wrapping still on the bar unless they are from Mike himself.

Considering that all of the bars sold for $1699 and are exceedingly rare that is probably around what I'm looking for. I think that 5BTC is a fair price.

You purchased them?

Several unfunded bars have sold for around 5BTC. 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 5BTC.

around 5BTC != 5BTC
Saying 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.)  Smiley

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 3.5BTC but if someone is willing to offer 3.5BTC perhaps there is some middle ground that can be found such as 4.5BTC + 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.  Smiley

Yes, I am sure it sold on the high end for the bar you know of.

I agree that it's great business.

I believe you will get what you want for the bar.  Smiley

I personally think this item is very cool because it is so rare and relative "unknown".
Congrats to the new owner!
