Who in the world can proclaim they are serious about Bitcoins when they do not have one of the original, exclusive and damn cool Bitcoin Crytpocondom? I am glad to announce I just got my first batch in, 20 sexy Bitcoin condoms  Cheesy. This first batch features one-off designs and are of course the first range of Bitcoin of Cryptographic themed condoms available to mankind. So why would you want one? Cryptocondoms, aside from being fully functional are great collectors items and at the very least a fun Bitcoin item to show friends and get the partner interested  Wink. The new Cryptocondom web store is live however also currently under-construction, this batch will be fully recognized as the first, the original Cryptocondom and of course the most valuable. It only seems fair that I make his first batch available exclusively to the Bitcointalkforum. Smiley





Note: I will not be held responsible for any newborns or your sexual performance in regards to the use of the Cryptocondom range. As you can see each condom will arrive on a nicely presented card with basic information and instructions added by the manufacturer (lol), each condom packet also has some spec/manufacture details on the back. The production quality is brilliant, even the small "Original Crpytocondom" message at the bottom is fully legible.

Price: 0.2BTC - 8 of 15 left

£50 for a condom a tad steep don't you think?

Also what makes these special as collectors items, as I can see they're not dated so could easily be replicated or people could just sell batch 50 condoms as batch 1?

They are near impossible to replicate as the design is unique (including the BTC logo) so in order to make a copy they would first need to own one of the 20 originals. The would then need to accurately replicate the colours, serials, typefaces, serial, packaging and so on.

I could sell these at a lower asking price, however I am not going to sell Cryptocondoms as disposable condoms. Those interested are welcome to make offers however I am confident I could just sell these to clients I have previously worked with, I will be providing a more economic additions to the series in the future. As a promotional/giveway/collectable I feel my asking price is reasonable though. Smiley

Your condoms are reusable?
The are not reusable, I am suggesting that this batch in not recommended for actual use. I think a better option would be to keep as a novelty or even give away as a promo tool.

This also why the price is not comparative to typical condoms in terms of this first batch, if I make them say 0.1btc then it makes them a cheap giveaway and people would just buy later (cheaper) versions from my store.

0.05btc if you're interested. i think that's a fair price considering it only costs $1-3 typically to get custom designed condoms.

0.05btc would just about cover PP depending on where I deliver, I have sold 2 so far at 0.3 and if these are to expensive for the forums I will just sell to distributers instead. Like I said the next batches will sell cheaper however they will also be available in larger quantities too, if these are a bit much other editions might be more a better option. I sell T-Shirt designs for no less than 1.5BTC so I feel 0.3 is a good price for those aiming to promote Bitcoin blogs, eCommerce and so on with a fun item. I do not plan on becoming a a large scale condom company selling huge volume and low costs, this is just fun custom designed merchandise. Who is going to go through the effort such as sharing your website link just to win an item listed at 0.05BTC on my store?  Tongue

These are also on Ebay now to although the price is set at £30 which is more expensive then my BTC offer.

If you priced them at .05 even, as one user commented, you would see a significant amount of sales, I bet. Anything more than that though isn't worth it...unless a girl is included.

Its a shame you can't mass produce these to sell for less. If you priced them at .05 even, as one user commented, you would see a significant amount of sales, I bet. Anything more than that though isn't worth it...unless a girl is included.

I will sell other versions a little cheaper, I guess around 1BTC but for those you will have to wait, my website will be fully functioning by then to. To be honest it is not worth the effort of going to my local post office for a single 0.5BTC sale, after postage I will make around £3($5) profit, infact I would probably not even make any profit after cost per unit lol. I don't think Bitcoin is big enough (yet) to create the demand otherwise I would simply supply for bulk selling at cheap prices but these are niche items. I have been relieving interest and at the moment another user wishes to buy so I will have 11 left.

The member asked if the price includes shipping and yes, delivery to UK, US & EU is included in the price.

I have 8 left of the 15 that were available, the buyer interested in the post above purchased x4 at 0.8BTC. Smiley
