Also this is not going to happen with a newbie who's first post is selling an oz of gold.  Without Escrow your not going to sell it.

All my auctions will start at 0.01 if they have a reserve or not. It's just how I want to do it. Smiley

I cannot locate a forum rule that imposes an escrow service on the auctions here.  Would you kindly provide the URL to this rule?

Try applying common sense, would you send 5BTC + to a complete stranger that has zero trade history, no transaction feedback and only joined a few hours ago on a promise they will send you an oz of gold.

Escrow providers like Tomatocage, OgNasty etc. are trustworthy and have handled $100k's worth of Escrow previously.  This provides buyer and seller protection
 + will help you achieve the best price for your goods.

To be honest with you I have never shipped to Iran before.  IF you are the high bidder near the auction end, I will certainly look into this for you.  My hunch is that it would be sent postal service Express Mail (EMS).

I apologize in advance for being ignorant about your country, but do you realize this coin is U.S. legal tender? (It has a $50 face value on the coin.)  Wouldn't you get in trouble for importing that in Iran?

Also if anyone does purchase make sure you get the coin xrf tested before releasing Escrow funds as there are a lot of fakes out there -

Do you mean a gold bar (wafer)?  No, this is a coin.  Roll Eyes  But I could certainly take a hammer to it and eliminate any USA identification.  Once the BTC is in my wallet of course.

Regarding counterfeiting, this is a real gold coin and dated 2015.  That link seems to be for 2014 coins.  I only buy my gold form authorized dealers of the US or Canadian mint.  Not from 3rd parties on eBay or Alibaba.

I'm sorry I had to delete your post in the other thread, but the rule clearly stated it was sales thread and criticism should be taken to PM.

This is certainly a legit offer. Smiley

4BTC without escrow = a 4BTC loss which would throw out my gold cost per oz average.

I would not even buy this a 1BTC
