Hiya,
I have bought my first BTC via a UKBT and would like to order a couple/three OTC physicals. I can see that molecular is doing honest deals but everything is in BTCs. Is it bad form to offer local currency ? Otherwise I have to score more BTCs online with cash and then use them to fund the Casascius physicals. Seems a long way round...anyone ? Molecular ?
Sterling? You mean real silver coins? We could do that, I guess.
It's not bad form to offer fiat, but I honestly think it would be more straightforward if you acquired some BTC yourself (I would have to turn around and take your GBP or whatever you're offering right away and exchange for BTC. I'm trying to minimize SEPA as much as possible). You could use localbitcoins.com to find a local dealer and buy some for cash...
There's also substantial chargeback risk for me involved with using sepa. I did some auctions on ebay, but it's not worth it (no profit) because of the 9% ebay takes plus the %3.2 paypal takes (out-fucking-rageous, no?).
Let's stick to bitcoin if possible.
