Description:
This collectible is being put up for sale. I came across it a few months ago and was surprised to find that it has history, not just in the general culture, but woven through this community specifically.

You can follow my discovery here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3114876
The most relevant quote from that thread is a confirmation and elaboration on my discovery from BG4:
Quote
What you have here is an official Test Marble I used to setup my laser. It was also used to test laser signed hologram stickers..
This item has taken some wear. No surprise, given its genesis, but you can see that from the pics. Worth noting, this auction is only for the black marble piece. There is no associated paperwork.

This auction ends Friday the 18th, 5pm EST, barring extenuating circumstances.

Payment methods accepted: 1JC6r6m7KPWhh5DTpyr6Vs2Z6LcVTUYVax

Also, with newbie status, comes limited ability to respond to posts and PMs. My apologies for any delay there.


And Good Luck, good people of every sort!

This does have a history here you are correct.  Before i entertain a bid would you ship first or use a secure escrow here on this site such as minerjones?  Can i also ask what county you are in as local pickup might be an option for me as well.

I would be willing to put it in the mail before accepting payment for a trusted member. I'd also be willing to provide enough documentation to allow you to pursue legal recourse. Escrow is a bit difficult, because expediency is key for me. Open to other suggestions. Your comfort is job #1.
As for pickup, South Jersey is probably specific enough. And I'm open to that.

I will have to say no then.  Pick up would be only option i wont send any funds without shipping first or escrow possibility.  Will watch to see how this plays out.

Reckon you should put "Papersafe" and "test" in the title. Most folks may not open the listing if they didnt realise what it is

Escrow would give you an even wider audience. Its generally how things are done here, until trust is built up

Fwiw if you forward this item to MJ immediately, you'd likely receive payment immediate upon auction end.

Hey everyone,

I'm working to set things up with MJ. As such, the end time will be pushed to 12pm, Tuesday the 8th. This should get enough time for him to receive the item. I apologize for the change, but it seems to be the right way forward. Thank you to everyone for your advice.

I will be editing the original post accordingly.

Thank you all for your time and understanding.
