1OZ SILVER MAPLE LEAF / CHECK BEST PRICE IN OP

[rpietila]

Wow, 1 maple is going for "Special price" .528 as we speak! Soon I will start giving them away literally...

...no, not really Quite the contrary - the rising bitcoin price is giving me so many other things to do that I must cancel this offer in 12 hours!

So order yours in post #50 while it lasts.

No orders from Germany anymore, sorry, let's give the others a chance!

4. You PM me first your name and address and the total amount of coins, the total price, and your message in satoshi. How? The message is a number from 111 to 999, which you decide, and add to the sum in satoshi. Eg. You want to order 25 coins at the price of BTC0.724. You calculate your amount payable as follows: 25*0.724 + 0.500 + message*0.00000001. Assuming your message is 337, this evaluates: 18.1 + .5 + .00000337 = 18.60000337. This is of paramount importance, as this is the way how I will be able to connect you to the incoming funds.

This is not such a bad "hack" until we have a working pay-to-contract scheme that produces a way for the buyer to prove payment for a specific order while still allowing the merchants wallet to be offline.

Guy's been reading the old MPOE threads, it's how you used to pay for options back in 2011.

If anyone thinks I have invented anything at all as regards to Bitcoin, he is mistaken.

Whatever I do, some great mind has been doing before. Except this, as far as I know:

Thank you molecular, always happy to serve!

Now, as you can see in the OP, I lightened up the load and sold 4500 of these in wholesale. Did not make much profit, but want to invest more in bitcoin...

Hello rpietila,

I'm considering getting some silver and gold games going on at taabl.net. We've had a few private coin lotteries but I wanted to try and keep a steady stream of games as part of the site.

Your price is great, of course, but for smaller quantities which, with the uncertainty of bitcoin rates is the only thing I'm brave enough to do, shipping kind of kills it. Is there any cheaper shipping alternative? I don't mind slower and will even go as far as say uninsured (but tracked) is fine for a handful if the shipping price difference justifies it.

You may have shipping for a special BTC0.300 for this time if you follow all the other procedures laid out in the OP. Remember this cost pays for handling also, as I don't make that much profit per coin, they are so cheap!

I measured the density (and weight) of some of my silver coins. The ones I received from ordering here among them:

I measured the density of my silver/gold coins...

nelisky,

I could manage to ship a single 1 oz silver coin to most countries for €5.05 including insurance up to €100 and tracking. Of course I can't sell my silver for spot price like rpietila does (I payed 7% VAT and premium on it). Using a USD-Price of $29, a premium of 10%, handling of €5, shipping €5.05 I could currently get a single coin delivered for €34.65. These are just thoughts, of course, but maybe we can work something out? How often and what quantities are you planning to have shipped?

[nelisky]

@rpietila: Thanks! I only saw your post now, is the offer valid for today and for quantities 10~25?

@molecular: well, I'm always torn about this. I want to hold on to my BTC, I want to put my BTC to use, I want metals for myself, I want metals for TAABL.net. I guess I'm a little schizophrenic, but aren't we all? Anyway, I was thinking of getting a couple to test the waters, but now I'm thinking of 10 to 25 rounds. How often I would buy again depends deeply on how well the lotteries are received. Do you have those many that you want to part with? I'll reach some sort of decision soon as I wanted to place an order today.
Also, do you have any gold for sale?

I'm actually not in the process of selling my metal. I'm content with what I currently have. I thought the issue might be to ship single (or at least very small quantities) of coins to people as prize for some games on taabl.net. I thought I might be of help somehow (and make a little profit maybe) because I seem to have good shipping options available. I could've maybe stored (or bought) some silver from rpietila for this purpose and provided shipping service.

Why is 0.3 BTC too high a shipping price for 25 rounds? The low price and VAT-exclusivity of rpietila will surely outweigh any shipping cost at such quantity, no?

It isn't too high at all. As I mentioned I was thinking about much smaller quantities when I first asked about it, and your offer would be great for that. I have changed my mind and am just waiting for confirmation that the 0.3 BTC is applicable today and for the specified quantities.
