ONE-OF-A-KIND MUGS!  NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!

These mugs were hand-made from clay that came from volcanic ash in Nicaragua.  The artisan who designed these pieces makes pottery for a living, in a small town one hour away from Granada, Nicaragua.  He made them in his workshop, which is in his house.















Because of limited time and resources, I could only get a few of these made.  They are signed and numbered by the artist.  He did have a little quirkiness to his numbering, however. 

What he made:

10 Trump Mugs, numbered 2/10, 3/10, 4/10, 5/10, 7/10, 7/10, 8/10, 9/10, 10/10, and 11/10. 


10 BTC Mugs, numbered 1/10, etc, except instead of 10/10, there is an 11/10

3 BTC tea cup and saucer sets, numbered 1/10, 2/10, and 3/10.

I did not notice his numbering until too late.  I am selling these for $20, plus shipping.  All proceeds go to the Nicaraguan family who helped me get these made.

BTC price can be determined at the time of the sale.  Escrow is welcome.

I will be keeping the 11/10 BTC and Trump mugs, because I drink coffee, and also because my whole trip was really an 11/10  Cheesy

Get these limited edition coffee mugs now before they get sold out!


Thanks!

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Wow, thanks, that was quick!  Just to confirm, you want the first 3 of the bitcoin mugs and all 3 of the teacup and saucers?  and not the first 3 of the Trump mugs, right?

That is correct, I do not want Trump mugs. We'll finalize the details over PM tonight or tomorrow (this is likely as I'm trying to catch up on a workload).

Thanks for the business, Hhampuz  Cheesy

Just to clarify, you are talking about the bitcoin and the Trump mugs, right?  Because all of the teacups and saucers have been reserved for Lauda.

Thanks again.

Interesting that no one has taken an interest in the trump mugs.  I guess it's just an American thing  Cool

Hahahaha, I find it pretty funny that no-one has reserved any of the Trump Mugs as well Grin



On a separate note, when will you be able to ship these, Tommy? When would you like payment?

Hey Tommy,

I see that the tea cup/saucers are labeled #x/10.
Do you have #4 available?

Thank you!

Hey Tommy, hope all is well.

Was just wondering, will you include any piece of paper/document with the story? Would be cool to have the origin known in the future, as they are one of a kind Smiley.

  I have updated the list.  All of the bitcoin-themed items are reserved.  The only items left are Trump mugs.  I might have to go to a Hillary rally to sell those.  Grin

I see that the tea cup/saucers are labeled #x/10.
Do you have #4 available?

Unfortunately, there are only 3 teacups and saucers, even though the way they are numbered, you would think there were 7 more.  Either the artisan didn’t get to them or he had a limited education.  My bilingual friend was instrumental as an interpreter, but some things got lost in translation.

Was just wondering, will you include any piece of paper/document with the story? Would be cool to have the origin known in the future, as they are one of a kind Smiley.

That is a good idea.  I think I will type something up.  It won’t be on a fancy stock of paper, but it is a good story.  Suffice it to say that Nicaragua is so different than the U.S.   It is amazing how resourceful the people are while living in such poverty.

Thanks, folks.  I will post btc address publicly on this thread.  And we can get shipping logistics cleared as well.  Please give me a few days.

Hi there,

Here is the price in btc:

Please note, this does NOT include shipping costs.  Please pm with a privnote of your address info and I will get shipping costs for

Here is the bitcoin address: 12Dgsw144xERVz11CTKPwsnGEzefjbUjnK

Please do not send from a localbitcoins address.  The above address is a localbitcoins address, and any transactions from localbitcoins wallets will not generate a txid.  That would make it difficult to confirm that a transaction occurred.

Thanks, and if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks for the business so far Cheesy


Update:

A few people have pm'd me their address, and I am currently getting shipping quotes.  I should be caught up today with those who gave me their address and pm you the total cost.  Please only pay to the bitcoin address that I gave out in the prior post in this thread. 

Also, a couple of people have asked if I can get any more of the bitcoin mugs.  I will try, but I don't know how good the postal service is in Nicaragua.  I have heard that things just get lost in the mail.  And the turnaround time will be weeks.  But, if I can give the guy in Nicaragua more business, I am sure he will take it.

As for the story behind the mugs, I will try to type something up.  It does take time, however, and I am a stickler for accuracy.  As a fallback, would it be okay to publish the story on this thread, or would people really want something tangible on a piece of paper?  I am wrapping these mugs in lots of newspaper, and I am concerned an additional sheet will just get crumpled up.

Lastly, don't forget the Trump mugs   Wink  A well-respected forum member has already inquired about 2 of them.  (The member is an American, who thinks Trump is a d***he...I think he is being too kind..)

That means there are 7 Trump "nope" mugs left!  Grin
