[Auction] MS69 1 BTC Gold/Silver Casascius Coin (ended)

[SaltySpitoon]

Hi all, I've decided to go the auction route rather than waiting to find a price I'm happy with, especially since I don't know what that price would be. Full disclosure, I purchased this Casascius Coin from Blazed recently for the price of 2.2 BTC in a strange turn of auction events. I'd prefer to have the BTC to reinvest into my Silver/Gold business so I'm placing it up for auction again. In the spirit of not being a jerk, I spoke with Blazed and offered a portion of any profit I made on this sale, however Blazed defered that their portion be donated to MinerJones' family who recently lost their home to a fire.

The starting bid is 2.35 BTC as I have that offer from Lutpin from my previous thread bid increments of 0.01BTC please. I asked Lutpin if the offer would stand if I placed the coin up for auction, and they agreed. The auction will end at 9PM US Eastern Time. For reference, the time of this post is approximately 4:45 US Eastern time, so the auction ends 28.25 hours from now.

50% of the profit made on this auction will be donated to MinerJones' family. As it was purchased for 2.2 BTC, if the ending price is 2.5 BTC, they will recieve .15 BTC, and so on.

The winning bid includes free Priority shipping with tracking number to the US, and signature confirmation if you would like it. If you are outside of the US, you are welcome to bid, however shipping terms will need to be negotiated.

If any bid is placed within the last 5 minutes of the auction ending, the auction end time will be extended by 5 minutes.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Very generous to share the profits with MJ's charity.  I didn't realize until fully reading the post.

I've been thinking of ways to help out MJ's charity anyway, so I figured why not. The other people who are auctioning and raffling things off for MJ are giving all of the profits to the charity. Since I can't afford to do that right now, I don't think it would be right for me to plaster the ad with a Charity Auction tag or anything like that, as it would just look like an attempt to bolster attention for my auction.

Thank you very much for your bid  

The price is still low enough that someone is going to get a hell of a deal.

There is one hour remaining in this auction. The current highest bid is

2.41BTC

Just a reminder, anyone that bids in the last 5 minutes of the auction will extend the auction end time by 5 minutes and so on. Get your bid in by 8:54PM EST (54 minutes from now) if you want to avoid doing so 

This coin is still a steal!

10+% price increase in a week is pretty solid.

10+% price increase in a week is pretty solid. 

Still quite cheap for what it is. If you check out the recent sales, a MS69 1BTC Gold/Silver Cas Coin should be priced between 2.75-3BTC. However tis the nature of auctions, and I dont care all that much. Anyone who gets this is going to get a deal and I'm ok with that.

And remember, at this point 50% of every bid increase is going to charity, so if you feel like it, you are welcome to bid up to what the coin is worth, or even higher if you would like
