This auction will run from now until 22:00 (forum time) on the 20th December.  Please be sure to read our Auction Procedure below before you place a bid.

To place a bid please use the following format;

Auction Procedure

1) You are only permitted to bid once per post

2) The minimum bid is 5 BTC.

3) The Auction will close at the 22:00 (forum time) on the 20th December provided there are no new successful bids during the 5 minutes immediately preceding 22:00 on the 20th December.

4) Any successful bids within 5 minutes of the auction close time (21:55 – 22:00) will extend the auction by a further 5 minutes; the auction will continue to extend in 5 minute increments until there are no more bids within the 5 minute refresh period.   

For example;

A bid placed  at 21:58 will extend the auction for the coin until 22:03.  If a further bid is placed before 22:03 it will extend by a further 5 minutes.  This will continue until there are no more bids within the 5 minute refresh period.  At that point the auction will end and the winner will be allocated.

The best coin design yet but I am tapped out at least until after the holidays.  Really really beautiful coin.  I love the design and wish I had perhaps saved some coins for this one.  If its done in silver, I may consider it as that would be cheaper.

[worldtreasurefinders]

I don't have a spare 5 BTC at the moment, but I'm hoping that maybe by the time this auction is ending I may have some money to put a bid in.

The amount of detail in the design of these coins is just amazing. Wish I had the spare BTC to bid on this.

[bithalo]

Beautiful coin.  I've reserved one of the silver ones, since its much more affordable.

Dear coinographic, give me my money back.  NOW

Hey. If you have a problem, deal with them directly. Public shaming isn't cool, they've tried to rebuild their rep after their incident.

[LazerViking]

Well he is holding my money hostage and refuses to answer my PMs.  This is bullshit.  He is fucking me over.

[LazerViking]

Been asking for a refund since Nov 21 and he keeps stalling.  I'm tired of it.

To all Coinographic clients and customers:

We're sorry to say that at Coinographic we have been having a bit of a technological nightmare for the last couple of weeks. Our CEO has been having some family problems and personal health issues, keeping him out of the office for a long while.

Once returning, he's been further hit with bad luck as his computer went through a major fault and unfortunately not everything had been backed up.  We have been contacting various experts who are now trying to fix the issues, but because we need to wait for specialist parts, the fix won't be accomplished before Monday or possibly Tuesday of next week.

Our CEO would like to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused:

"I appreciate that many of you will be asking how this could have happened.  I can only say that the pressure of work, coupled with my ill health at such a crucial time, have led to the error of my not ensuring that everything was backed up in the event of a technological failure.  I've certainly learnt my lesson.  All the information that I need to fund coins or process orders is locked inside the damaged PC.  I can recover it, but have no option but to wait for the experts to fix the problem."

"I can't apologise enough to everyone.  As soon as I can get back online my small staff team and I will be working flat out to resolve all outstanding issues.  Clearly this is something that should not have happened and I will be taking steps to ensure that it won't happen again.  I appreciate how frustrated and upset you may be, but please bear with me while I get everything up and running again and all outstanding funding and orders processed."

Thank you.

If you have proof of your claim perhaps you may want to open a scammer accusation thread and present your facts, assuming you aren't getting any responses from them.

Well I haven't quite given up hope that he is going to respond and make this right.  So, I would hope it doesn't resort to this.  But I am really upset, because I was promised the refund by the close of business Dec 4th and now it is almost Dec 6th.  This is not cool.

Do you accept escrow for the auction?

[bithalo]

Do you accept escrow for the auction?

Curious how escrow would work if the coin is special ordered for gold and it will take at least sometime in Jan before its ready.  Will they order the coin without receiving funds to pay for the special order?  Coinographic wont see their money for at least a month, using escrow.

Well, with the problems they just had, I would feel much more confortable with escrow.

I agree.  With the problems earlier, it would be wise to protect yourself if they allow it. 

[iglasses]

Well IMHO they should voluntarily suspend their auctions/sales until they resolve whatever these issues are.  They have openly told everyone that customer data & funds are trapped on a computer that they cannot access and they are waiting for parts.

CEO has family problems?  Ummm...not to be a bad guy but what does that have to do with running a business?
They are selling thousands of dollars worth of product and lose everyone's data on the CEO's desktop...yikes.
