[Auction] NattyMind Eluetheria Samsara

[AT101ET]

Hey,
Thanks to BNM for the sound advice. Starting this auction a little below my asking price so try and grab yourself a bargain 
Up for auction is a fine looking coin/puck/holy grail for your collection. Behold, I present the Eluetheria Samsara BTC/LTC hybrid produced by the one and only NattyMind. (Puck is made of 5oz silver). Coin sales thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3297707.0
My interest check thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5043317.0
Words can't describe the coin more accurately than:

It’s like watching the northern lights from on top of Mount Everest only in a coin.

Anyways, here are some pics. Please note than none of the tobacco products are included: https://imgur.com/a/qR6uNx3
Coin comes boxed in this awesome looking wooden display case. Sadly the coin capsule is cracked but replacements aren't too costly. The coin itself is in excellent condition (untouched).

Happy Bidding

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

Good luck with the auction!

[AT101ET]

Bump. Ends tonight!

0.125 BTC

Preferably with MJ escrow, you also mentioned that the engraving is in good condition and only the camera angle made it appear faded. Looking forward to having one of these for my collection, and I'll be ordering it a new capsule, for sure! Thanks for running the auction, even if it accumulated a little less interest than you had hoped. You've made a happy bidder out of me. COA? Which # is this?

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

You can tell from looking at the public key that this is no. 62 (1NaTTy62...) out of 67 total minted. Original sales thread here.

[bill gator]

Ah, thank you very much, I didn't realize that is actually how you could tell. Now I just have to find my(DOH) matching #62 Goddess coin, someday down the line. Would be nice to have the pair, but that's a story for another time.

Awaiting your confirmation on whether or not you're willing to accept Minerjones as an escrow for this transaction, should I contact you and MJ via PM or are you planning on contacting me/MJ?

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

Sorry but only 51 Silver Eleutheria Goddess coins were sold for 0.30 each. They are pretty hard to find most owners won't part with theirs.

[bill gator]

Oh, then there is no matching goddess to my Samsara; that's a tad heartbreaking. I didn't realize they went for .3 BTC each, that makes LC's offer for a matching pair for .4 quite an attractive offer. That's just face-value. I was assuming getting my hand on a Samsara would've been quite a challenge, but as time goes on I'm sure that will become more correct. You're like a walking, talking bitcoin collectibles encyclopedia; I appreciate you. Maybe someday I'll grab a matching set, for now I shall suffer with my pair-less Samsara

Funds for the Samsara have already been sent to escrow, just waiting on AT101ET to come back online and finalize this.
DISREGARD ^

Isnt there still 25 minutes left in this auction?

[bill gator]

Time.is told me it was 21 GMT 1 minute after my auction (almost 2 hours ago), am I jumping the gun and incorrect about this? Woops, if that is the case then I am confused what's going on with Time.is/gmt for me

Disregard all of that then, and consider me the forum dunce for now.

You really need to slow down man. AT101ET will come into HIS auction thread and declare a winner, as happens with every single auction here ever. For some reason you already have coin escrowed when the auction isn't even over and AT10 hasn't even declared a winner.

[bill gator]

I never declared myself the winner. You are correct though, I need to slow my roll; just excited and very busy. I already said, waiting for AT101ET to verify and finalize. I made a mistake, admitted the mistake and simply have funds sitting in an escrow. I jumped the gun, because I was incorrect about the time. I was watching Time.is/GMT all day and waiting for 21 GMT and bid just before. I have no claim to this coin, outside being the current top bid. Again, I made a mistake, I apologize for the confusion, but I never declared a winner and always said to wait for AT101ET before finalization.

I'm well aware how goofy this looks, and I feel like a fool. If someone outbids me, then hopefully the escrow will just return them to me; so as I said, disregard what I said outside of my bid.

I thought you were making a stink because you were going to bid, trickster.

Winning bid. Escrow confirmed.

Apologies. An unscheduled event meant I wasn't online around when this ended so couldn't respond.

I think there was some confusion here. Next time I'll add a timer which should make things easier. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for pointing this out

Mistakes happen. No worries. I don't think there was any malice to teeGUMES's post. He was just trying to point out that the auction wasn't over at the time.
All's well that ends well. Nobody outbid you so we're all set.
I'll have the coin packaged and a courier booked.

Thanks all for playing

[bill gator]

I'm positive teeGUMES meant no harm by their post, and they are correct with everything they said. If they hadn't brought it up, I would've sat here confused why you haven't declared me the winner even longer. They were right to bring it up, and I am genuinely apologetic for my mistake. No idea why Time.is/gmt showed me 21:00:00 GMT hours ago, I'll have to just do the time-math in my head next time and not be so lazy.

I would never escrow funds if I hadn't truly thought it was over. Hopefully we can move forward with everyone forgetting my blunder.

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

Congrats @bill gator well bought! You just won the first Samsara that has been auctioned (since the initial sale) other than the 2 Brass proofs. The No. 1 Artist Edition Samsara was auctioned before the coins went on sale. Also two Samsara coins were raffled I don't count those as an auction.

[bill gator]

I'll consider that a good thing, because in my head these won't be auctioning for this low again. I'm convinced that as time goes on .125 BTC for a Samsara will have been an absolute blessing. Very pleased to be added into your encyclopedia, BNM I'm actually pretty confused why there was no other bidders on one of (if not) the most beautiful coins available to us collectors, and on top of that it is extraordinarily limited edition. It just feels like everybody who knows better must already have one.

I agree. The Samsara and Goddess are IMO the two most beautiful cryptocoins ever minted and most collectors won't part with theirs. As to why no one else bid I think you just got lucky:) Enjoy your Samsara!
