[AUCTION] 10 Original Rolls Casascius DIY Aluminum Coins + 200 Loose (1450 total

[minerjones]

How much for a roll?

Because no one has ever sold it like this before, and I don't know how much it should be.

Current retail is around $30 for a single coin....

Extrapolate the price per roll and give a discount due to buying in bulk, I would think a roll should sell for around 0.045-0.050 btc at current Bitcoin price

Loose coins can be calculated in this way, but bulk purchase discounts cannot be considered for unopened coins. This may be the last unopened packaged coin, so it should be higher, right?

Typically bulk purchases come with a discount even for 'unopened' rolls for things like Satori chips, etc.  The best way to find out would be to do an auction for a roll, and then use that as a way to price future rolls.

If I am not wrong, this should be an auction - and its still to be active.
Even if the price could seems likewise "inflated" also other users would make an offer... and there is no a new starting price

@OP did you plan to split this set or to offer it again as "buy it now" or "best offer"? Just to know in case this auction would fail....

Auction is active.

Referring to the prices on forums and eBay, the normal price for one coin is $50, but this brand new and unopened price needs to reach $80-100.

just a suggestion - you changed the OP to be an auction - it might be clearer to everyone if you made a separate new post as the auction.

heng,

Possibly a helpful tip for you. Pay attention to Miner Jones' post on this thread. Also, I buy and sell goods for manufacturing plants as well as collectibles and have a lot of experience selling. Bulk is always discounted. It doesn't add more value that they are unopened when you sell 1250 of them at once. Your opening price for an auction is too high. You have calculated the maximum premium, or the price ceiling, for this bulk collection and set it as the floor for the starting auction price.

1. Low amount of work - quick time line - sell as bulk - one item / one sale / one buyer
    Price - lowest end of the price range ($20 or less per item)
    
2. Max work - sell individually - long period of time to sell / many buyers / lots of shipping- establish a system for selling these over the next 12-36 months
    Price - maximum premium

3. Something in between these two where the time, effort, and price are in the middle of these extremes on the range.

Thank you for your suggestion. This is a collectible rather than a commodity. I have read many sales posts these days, and most of them sell collectibles as commodities. Collectibles need to consider more aspects, such as their historical value: these are the last batch of Casascius DIY aluminum coins from 2013, which are historical relics of Bitcoin culture; Its scarcity: Perhaps these are the last 10 unopened Casascius aluminum coins, although there are 80000 of them (640 rolls), why hasn't anyone sold such coins since 2013? Because most of it has been dismantled or lost, even its packaging is still a collectible. BTC can be mined again, but if you miss out on these collectibles, you may have to wait for more than a decade before they appear again.Perhaps it won't appear.

I agree with you. These things don’t just appear overnight out of nowhere. I think whatever price you consider fair is fine—you set the price, especially if it has the full roll unopened. I believe it could even be worth more.

[hybridsole]

Are you able to post any more higher resolution photos of one of the loose coins?  There seems to be something off about them.

The market sets the price.  The price is what a buyer is willing to pay, not what a seller asks.

Absolutely ！The market is fair ,The price is what a buyer is willing to pay，seller decides whether you are a buyer.

While the market sets the price, for certain items the seller must set it. Something as rare as sealed Casascius coins, I believe the seller determines the price. If the seller does not accept the price, everything else becomes irrelevant; therefore, the market loses its validity—at least for certain items.

It is really hard for me to tell if you are AI or an idiot.

This back and forth seems pointless, hahaha. People either buy it or they don't, but heng1332 can ask whatever they want. If nobody buys it, the. the market clearly decided it is too much.

Good luck with the sale!
