How much is worth a casascius bearer bar (0 BTC)

[yogg]

I have one of these

It has many scratches, it is not in mint condition at all.
It is funded with BTC3.5

I know the casascius coins and bars have a premium value, but I don't see lot of these bars being sold.

Does someone know what can be the premium on such an item ?

Thanks

In mint condition they fetch 1-2BTC (still wrapped). I would guess even banged up maybe 1BTC? + whatever Bitcoin it has loaded.

Obviously more considering it is funded with 3.5btc. I would say that you would get between 4 and 4.5 btc for it, assuming hologram is intact. So yes a 1btc valuation (in addition to btc stored in it) would be fair.

Also, check out my ebook about Casascius coins & bars at www.coinfirm.org

Do you have any pictures of it?

You say that it is loaded with 3.5 BTC but can you confirm that the hologram is still intact?

Sure, let me take one.
Yes, the hologram is intact.

I planned to put my life savings in it, and use it when I'm old (because 1BTC will be sooo much money). Unfortunately I might need the funds quicker than that.
Maybe I'll sell it at auctions later, if needed.

Are you taking offers or just trying to find out how much you can get for it?

[Blazed]

I will probably make an offer depending on how banged up it is.

I'd like to know how much it might be worth. Make some offers, it that interests me, we might have a deal.
But I'm not specially looking to sell it as of now.

There you go :

Back
Hologram
Scratches

Yeah it looks really bad.. But on the other side, it's perfect for holding some of my (few) BTC.
The hologram is intact tho.

I carried it a lot, really.. :/

Your best option when you are ready to sell it is via auction. I would have to pass on it due to condition, but plenty of others would most likely want it.

How much exactly are you in need of to cure your troubles?

I am somewhat interested in a coin/bar that I could carry around with me as a good luck charm.

You want to carry this thing around? 
I have one of this casascius aluminum promo coins in my wallet, but I would never run around with a bar. 
Maybe you can put a chain on it and wear it as a necklace

Well, I'm not really in need as of now.
I was just curious to know how much the item is worth.

We see mostly casascius coins being sold, and I never saw this type of bar at auction or whatever.

Thanks guys for your informations.

They do sell here and go fast when listed. I have sold off probably 10 of them or so over the last couple years.

I'll pay you BTC3.5.

[gentlemand]

I think they're a harder sell in general than the coins but I'd like to own one anyway. You do see them on Ebay for some pretty outrageous prices so if you're feeling brave you'd get more money there if you figured out a way to bypass paypal.

A good offer right there!

I've got one of these bars without the hologram if anyone wants one just to add to their collection.

For that much I can right open it and spare the escrow / shipping process.
