I would be interested in a few of these if there is another group buy in the future. Missed this thread completely.

I will send it however you want it. If you are in the UK then i reckon next day special delivery is probably a good move but if you want just normal 1st class and take the risk then thats up to you. I will video the packaging and posting process to add security. Smiley
Video won't prove anything, but as you like Wink.
I'm from France, I'll go with a plain letter or package with International Signed For. It's around £11.94 (0,028BTC) for a 500g package.


I have asked Mike to include some cases. We will work out costs (if any) when they arrive. Smiley
I'm also interested by a case, I hope Mike included them for free.

The video is something i have done a few times. Obviously it's not gonna stand up in a court of law but in a situation where i have used John K as escrow for example i feel that if the buyer says it never arrives or it wasn't in the envelope, (which has never happened by the way), then i think my video would go some way to protecting my reputation. If it clearly shows me packing up the coin, sealing it in an envelope addressed to the buyer and then posted i think it's fair to say i have done my end of the deal.

You can always open the envelope off camera and do an other one with nothing in it. That's why for me, a video doesn't prove anything.

Who? The buyer?

If the video is a continuous shot of the seller packing an item and posting it, together with a close up of the envelope and the seal i think it would be enough proof for an escrow service that the item was sent and included. Whenever i have bought anything from someone i do the same thing when opening it too.

£720 for a 0.5 coin - 2 sold!

Might be up for one or two of these if there's another group buy.

It's been a full week since the order was done.
Any news about shipping ?

Not yet. It is apparently 7-10 days so it should be any time now. I will update as soon as it's done. Smiley

I purchased a roll of 20 and should have it next week.

I only want 10 coins. The other 10 I will trade for the solid silver versions and I may pay you just a bit extra per coin as those silver ones are sold out.

PM me if you are interested. I'm in the US.

Still waiting on Mike, he has said in another thread he is extremely busy with the run up to Christmas. I am hoping it will be any day now though. Smiley

Yep, still not shipped. I was getting a bit worried but have heard back from Mike saying that the order is definitely there. Wink

I bit the bullet after this group buy closed and bought some of these individual coins myself (no time to organise another group buy; the rolls ran out in no time). I think everyone who got in before he stopped selling them may have secured themselves some gold dust. There were only 700 ever made, and he may not sell *anything* to individuals again.

Shipments are still going out even when I travel - we stickered the last of the production run gold-plated silver coins today, so if your order contains these, it's likely to go out today.

Sweet!

Question for anyone who as ordered before: how long does shipping to Europe normally take?
