Selling three 1 ounce Perth mint gold bars for bitcoin. It behooves me to exchange at a slightly lower cost because I would have to wire the money to Bitstamp for a total fee of $52.50 plus USD to BTC fee. Might as well just pay an escrow and shipping which will ultimately save me money, time, and hassle.

Selling for spot price, as the premium on these are typically 2-3%.

When I get home later I will happily post my proof of purchase and the other 2 serial numbers. I just wanted to get the post up and hopefully some interest. I will, however, scratch out my name from the receipt as I'm not one to post my name on a public forum for the world to see.

I will pay for escrow and shipping.

I am almost certain that these would not pass the scratch test.

There are tons of these fakes on the internet, if these are real and you are just seeking spot price you can go almost anywhere and get near if not spot price for them

Would you be willing to use escrow.   Escrow would be released upon verification using a precious metals verifier.

You clearly didn't read my post. Before trying to figure out how this is a scam, please learn to read. If I wanted straight cash I would go to a coin store or dealer. If I want to maximize my bitcoin I would post on Craigslist (which I did) and a bitcoin forum for hopefully a local meetup or escrow ship

I have plenty more gold and silver. I am actually getting rid of my foreign coins and bars in exchange for more bitcoin. But I will always keep some gold and silver bullion as well as my copper pennies. Nobody is getting near my American eagles  Grin

Well let's not jump to conclusions just yet please.
I sent the OP a PM and am willing to meet up locally as stated to purchase possible items we decide on once I get a reply.

I also stated I can verify the purity and validity of any of the gold or silver items that may be for sale as well.
So let's wait for a reply, and take it from there.

Thanks!

I'll offer fee-free escrow.

I'm trying to establish trust in this forum. I've used escrow for my own purchases. I'm familiar with the process and can open a dedicated wallet for your transaction and keep all progress transparent.

I would recommend that you start out with smaller deals to get established. Jumping right into a $1,000+ deal takes some trust...you need to earn that first.

To be honest this was exactly my reaction lol. You can't just waltz into a thread and try to escrow a deal that could be worth over $3000, when you're a Sr. Member with no valuable trust...that's not exactly how these things work.
To the OP, good luck on selling, but do you have certificates of authenticity?

Agreed coin, it will be interesting to see if others decide to move away from metals to digital currency.

I was considering selling a gold eagle...  It's a scary thought, because when parity was reached I thought I'd be buying gold, not wanting to sell it.  I hope that we aren't seeing irrational exuberance given the current state of the network.

He wont.

I may meet up with the OP to verify all of the above, it seems a lot of people jump right in and assume the worst which is the norm these days with all of the previous scam attempts that have happened here.

Hopefully we can put this to rest, and if the seller is legit, then hes legit.
done.

I have sent him a PM and will hopefully make a purchase.

If anyone wants to buy something after its confirmed id be happy to reship and you can use escrow with a trusted one of the usual suspects Smiley

I dont need to make any money from this, its a service.

thanks!

Well I'm dr. spock I'm here to rock y'all
