Why is it priced at 1/10 the current dollar value of 1 bitcoin?
What's the skam?

didnt check the listing yet - but does it have a reserve? is that why the bid is starting low? or is this one of those ones that has craftily been peeled/key copied/sold as "intact"/funds swept upon arrival coins?

Probably the latter as you mentioned since "technically" you can't sell loaded/funded coins on ebay.  Meaning, ebay isn't on the hook for digital value.  Hella expensive for in all essence what will be a "redeemed" coin.

That’s because eBay won’t let you set a high amount when you haven’t made enough sales, so the auction should get the price to where it needs to be.  

It’s an unredeemed Casascius Bitcoin, as stated.   Thanks.

I guess on the plus side the address is still active https://casascius.uberbills.com/?address=1Ag5RdMMSdYNJeeNjuTQdcKpc5rgg3mY6R

The downside is the item is located in Saudi Arabia for anyone that is going to buy it.

I wouldn’t call that a downside buddy.

its a downside because the feds cant come to your house and kick in your door if you dont send the coin. If you truly want to sell it your going to have to use escrow like MJ here in the states.

and per chance - what would you do if the auction doesn't get anywhere near the value of the coin? say it stops at 10k? you really going to sell it for 10k? or would you just peel it and send a redeemed coin? or not send it at all? there is a lot of risk to someone buying it this way as ebay will not insure/cover the "load" value.

[blucepheus]

Nobody in their right mind would risk that being shipped from Saudi Arabia.

Wonder what ebay would say about the item arriving "damaged" or not as described? I know ebay is super hit or miss on buyer protection, but it seems like if you filmed yourself opening it and all that you might have a shot at getting a refund based off the sticker being "Destroyed"?

Just spit balling here, I would kill to buy it at that price but also don't have faith it would show up funded either lmao.

Agree, there is no way I would risk buying this with USD. Something isn’t right.

[MoparMiningLLC]

my guess is that if the auction ended at under the actual value - they would reneg and end the auction/cancel it or w/e you wanna call it.

and they may even use some alt accounts to shill bid it up. eBay is famous for that. accounts with 100% bidding history with one seller - the seller of current auction.

I am not referring to the specific case of the seller (I do not want to accuse or speculate on anyone).

I have seen many times on ebay:
The accounts were registered with stolen/dummy documents
A seller receives this amount.
He withdraws/removes the funds from this bank account.
Even if ebay sends the account into the negative/red nothing happens.
The buyer is not reimbursed because ebay cannot attack the funds.

There is a similar scam where instead the buyer is the "attacker" but in practice when the seller tries to recover (legitimately) from him... ebay finds the account empty and it's all gone.

Now, in this specific auction, if the loaded item COULD NOT be sold on ebay, the listing will simply be closed or in case of disputes it will be a great pain for the buyer...

[Keijin23]

I understand the concern.  Well, can sell it through escrow here, if anyone asks for it.  Reach out if serious.  Thanks.

[Keijin23]

I have been scammed on a listing that looked alot like one of these before, coin comes from a faw away country, seller has little to no feedback.

Seller will try to get you off ebay to telegram where he will offer the coin at a discounted good deal type price, will accept crypto as payment.

Seller will ship an empty box and steal your bitcoin if you send any.

only run this through escrow, do not get scammed on something like this

I would only run this through MJ, I would never trust these random no name no reputation ebay sellers for anything.

How is it a lot like this if my seller account there is since 2005 with 100% feedback.  At this point you guys are just rambling for the sake of it.

This won't work.

If you actually have the coin and want to sell it, arrange to do an auction here with a well known escrow such as minerjones.

these are the times where a courier and escrow should be used. he has deleted the listing anyways.
