Important Note about fork-coin values:

Please note that all coins above are mine d in 2016 and 2017, before the hard forks in late 2017. This means that every coin would also have equivalent amounts of BCH, BTG, BCD, and other “Bitcoin fork-coin” values, in addition to BTC value. (This means that each coin’s actual value today could be at over +16% of today’s BTC value alone.)

IMPORTANT AUCTION UPDATE (Tuesday, May 29, 2018)
This Auction (for Lots A-E) will be Extended until this Friday, June 1.Due to unforeseen shill bidding by a newbie account, the final outcome of the auction was affected for lots A-E. (Lots F-M were not affected, and those auction results are final.)

1) Re-open and
Extend the auction time for
Lots A, B, C, D, and E.

6) Winners will NOT have to pay extra shipping if they already won and paid for an auction Lot F-M.

Thank you everyone for participating in our first BTCC Mint auction this year!
We know that we had a few hiccups, when it came to unverified Newbie users making fake shill bids. We will learn from this, and improve our auction rules for next time. In the future, we will require all Newbie (or questionable bidders) to be pre-approved by BTCC, by depositing an amount of BTC as escrow. This will ensure that all auction bidding is legitimate, to provide the highest integrity to the auction.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and thank you once again for your trust in BTCC and our BTCC Mint products.
With this success, we will do more auctions in the near future. Stay tuned!
(What would you like to see auctioned next? Make some special requests!)

Update on June 2, 2018:All auction items have been paid for! Congrats to all winning bidders. We will ship your items early next week.
