[Auction] RARE 1 BTC BitBill beta v0.07 Intact/Funded (Ended)

[matt525]

This 1 BTC BitBill was funded with 1 BTC on July 26, 2011. For the first few years I kept it in my wallet so there is a little tearing and peeling around the edges.  Otherwise, it is in good condition.  The last few years it has been kept in a vault. I am the original owner.

Auction starts now.

Starting Bid: 1.1 BTC
Increments: 0.05 BTC

Auction will be valid until Sunday January 26, 2020 11:00 pm Eastern Time EST

It is funded, and intact. I have never opened a BitBill, but I understand that they can be redeemed:

The Bitbill launch was announced on May 9, 2011.
As of May 15, 2012, Bitbills are no longer in production.

I can provide more photos via imgur if requested, but I can't insert images directly into the post.




Here are the links showing the card is funded. As you can see it is a pre-forked bitcoin:

I just wanted to say this is card I always wanted. This is the best bitcoin collectible item ever. I love this bitbills card. Also this one is beta version - awesome. Card is in excellent condition too.  This is truly a historical piece.   I have been trying to get a regular bitbills card for so long but the cost is beyond my reach.

Sky - I hope you win this auction.

with a question.... why would this be necessary?

Reserve the right to cancel auction

[matt525]

When I was creating this auction I initially copied from another bitbill auction. This was one of the copied parts.

I suppose the only reason is if I feel I don't get a fair price for it but I don't think that will happen.  My mind is set on selling it.

You should start it at a price you are willing to sell it at.  I don't think this a great practice.... either it's for sale or it isn't.... I'd like a confirmation that even if there are no more bids, that I own this for 1.15BTC.

[matt525]

Okay.  On my word it's yours for 1.15 btc if no one outbids you. 

Good luck!!  There's still a lot of time left for the auction.

I've been informed that it seems all bitbills were actually Beta. However, that really doesn't take anything away from it imho

Premium wise this will be the cheapest a bit bill sold for?

[matt525]

At the current price, possibly? I know for sure it's gone for quite a bit more. We still have over a week to go.  Let's see.
