[INFO] EBAY bitcoin/cryptocurrency finds!!!

[gpfrag]

We are seeing perfect PR70 grades being a smash hit among collectors as these grades garner the largest interest and the highest financial premiums. Some collectors are going for nothing short of 70 and paying top dollar!  

-----

I am thinking about starting a running thread on eBay sales in this format with my commentary to I can compile a running price history that tracks the value of certain coins over time. Let me know if this would interest you.

Wow

To very impressive sales on eBay this week,  im very exited about the .01 Lealana sale price


Casascius sale price :  https://www.ebay.com/itm/196292516496


Lealana Sale price:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/226043006256

I have the email address of Mida on ebay... If anyone wants to connect with him and purchase outside of ebay (taxes and fees).  Do so at your own risk, as I cannot speak to the trust of the seller (although I believe trustworthy), but I can say that the email address came directly from that seller.

Mida has been moving BULK over the past few months. Huge amounts of redeemed graded CAS.

I’ve purchased several from Mida - many of the earlier S1 error ones that sold for approx $450 US each - haven’t been bidding recently as the ones now are selling for $1600-$1800 (although they are higher grades - mine were more MS64-65).

I recently purchase a 5BTC from him outside eBay and paid directly with BTC - no issues at all so I think he is trustworthy. Seems his supply is getting low so may only have a few more coins for sale - they were really great specimens.

I never personally understood as to why redeemed cas go for so much. Redeemed brass cas go for more than silver 2013 bf lealana which is nonsense. Silver > brass 24/7/365, but I guess some collectors don't see it this way.

[Spokanistan51]

I would prefer vintage Cas and BTCC over Lealana all day, for multiple reasons. To name a few:
- Lack of customer service by Smoothie relating to buyer funded public keys, when COA or paper key is misplaced
- Flooding S&B with "rare," unsold newer release items, or colorful firstbits for a money grab
- Smoothie not responding to messages, even relating to newer release items
- ETC
- ETC

I believe Mida on Ebay sells those redeemed items on behalf of someone else. Whoever the original owner was had a huge collection, but I do not believe it was Mida. My guess is he takes a cut on sale price and deals with potential tax burdens depending on Ebay's stance in 2024.

as a note all Lealana are buyer funded - every single one of them - whether the holo says it or not.

Because no one wants coins that are stamped "BUYER FUNDED"

[SurfinPanda]

Yes Mida told me he is selling them on behalf of someone that’s on these forums actually - but he wouldn’t name the person obviously.

This is an excellent list of reasons to avoid LEALANA coins like the plague.

The free market is attempting to sort out what is legit and what is smoke in mirrors.

The money will flow to the hardest form of collectable.

Not entirely correct, people still purchase "BUYER FUNDED" coins in large numbers. As of right now for LEALANA BF is about 70% of the market volume (excluding load value). People still want them although the purists may consider them to be less desirable.

I’m not positive, but all signs are pointing to these listings being a scam, 1: they’re using eclipses photos and 3: the description looks sketch, even though the account has a lot of feedback and many items for sale. I’m interested in everybody else is input on this.

Yes these are posted quite frequently and are a scam. It’s not just crypto items but these are hacked eBay accounts that the seller uses to try get people to purchase the items outside of eBay and then never delivers the product. Stay away.

I looked at account. He has over 100 items for sale in auctions ending at exactly the same time. All the items are rare and expensive. Its a bizarre mix of stuff. Definitely a cash grab scam. In 7 days this account is gone.

Some custom BTC BTC metal wallet cards listed on eBay, if anyone's interested...
