ESCROW and SHIPPINGI have been in contact with both OgNasty and minerjones, and both have offered to provide escrow services for this auction for a 1% fee/gift. This 1% of the auction total will be split between myself and the winning bidder. This means that if you are the winning bidder, you will need to budget an additional 0.5% of the winning total for your share of the escrow. If you are the winner of the auction, please let me know your preferred escrow agent. If you would prefer a different escrow provider, please PM me before you bid so we can work out a mutually agreed upon third option. Other escrow providers can be found here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439910.0Shipping in the USA will be $30. This shipping cost will be added to the total of the winning bid after the auction ends. Shipping will be via USPS registered mail (which requires a signature upon delivery).
Shipping outside the USA will be managed by minerjones, who has offered to facilitate international shipping for this auction. The winning bidder can choose from USPS, Global Post, UPS, and Fedex. If you are the winning bidder and are outside the US, after the auction ends I will be in touch along with minerjones to coordinate shipping and cost. This cost will then be added to the total of the winning bid. I will ship the coin(s) to minerjones via USPS registered mail, after which he will send to you. Please be aware this method of shipping will take longer than conventional post, because of all these additional safeguards we are utilizing to ensure a successful delivery of your coin(s).
After working out shipping, upon successful payment to the escrow agent, your coin(s) will be shipped within 24 hours or as soon as reasonably possible.
Please do not send payment to any wallet address until shipping and escrow have been determined. Payment will be sent to the escrow agent's wallet; please refer to your selected escrow agent's escrow thread for their payment address.
Escrow arrangement, shipping arrangement, and payment are all due within 72 hours from the time the auction ends. Should the winner not honor their bid and not provide payment in that 72 period, the next highest bidder will be requested to honor their bid.
