Smoothie's Casascius 3-Coin Auction #2

[Panthers52]

You can buy them from me on Ebay. 

2+2+2.25BTC

I am guessing you are selling them for a big premium on ebay? I am not a fan of paying those kinds of prices (please link me your auctions though, I would like to watch them ).

1 BTC + 2 BTC + 3.265 BTC

I looked on ebay and the prices for physicals are inane.  I would be nervous accepting paypal for that large of amounts though because the consequences of chargeback are too great

6.3 BTC. This will probably be my last bid

Ebay likes working with their best sellers...and if you do it right, they typically side in your favor, especially if someone is trying to scam...they've been damned good to me.

Well I have never been a fan of eBay and do not even currently have an account. I guess if you have sold a lot and caused them to get a lot of revenue then your credibility would increase somewhat.

Some of the graded coins were fetching more then the entire purchase price you are paying!

I will be getting these graded for sure.

I think Ebay and craigslist are great indicators for price...we have a market that is hard to get into sometimes for a newb, especially non-technically inclined people, so these coins make it super easy for people with no experience to "get into" bitcoin, hence the much higher price tags...plus the risk of selling on ebay warrants a greater price-point to weed out the scammers.

IMO craigslist would probably result in higher prices on a NPV basis once you factor in the potential to getting a chargeback. You can collect the cash, or have the person send you bitcoin prior to handing over the coin and once you have it, short of robbing you there is nothing they can do to get the money back

[hennessyhemp]

It depends, I typically price Craigslist slightly below ebay because of the lack of fees from Ebay and Paypal, and lack of shipping costs, so it's probably closer to real market value, where Ebay has a more 7/11 convenience factor.
