Topic: ***125 old & rare coins for 0.80 BTC (final offer, no auction)*** (Read 610 times)

Well that's a good question. I'll ask that from DHL/TCS tomorrow morning. Till that time, I'd like to lock up the thread. If the answer would be positive, I'll open it back.


I'm not from India...

I live in India and if you go to any Grey Markets here,the coins would be sold for less than $1!I'm saying this because OP is from India and I'm pretty sure the coins he has are picked up from somewhere nearby.I can literally visit the gray markets and find such old coins sold for pennies.Nothing against the OP but he is asking way too much for them.

its stiil a good offer .75 shipped most of the coins you have arnt worth much

is it allowed to ship COINS?

No mate, he is in Canada, costing me an extreme shipping cost too.

just sell it to your relative for .75 and then you dont have to ship it its the same as getting .8 and having to ship it.

UPDATE: I've been unable to get any bid for 1 to 1.5 BTC, and got an offer of just 0.75 BTC right now. I'd like to squeeze more off from these coins so I'd like to offer all of them (along with DHL free delivery & few old paper money) for just 0.80 BTC. Full & final offer.

Guys, I already have an offer of 0.75 BTC from one of my relatives, but I feel that it's very low. I've further lowered the starting bid to 1 BTC, hoping to see a few bids now.

I'd not like to sell specifically because of shipping problem, I don't trust much of my postal service (Pakistan) as they sometimes fail to deliver and fail to return too (which means the mail is lost), so I'd only like to use TCS/DHL/Fedex/etc. and it's only good if I sell in bulk, otherwise it'd be too costly.

Anyways, would someone like to bid 1 BTC now?

I think most of this coins doesn't have the quality to be "collectibles" (I mean the various grade proof mint etc...)

for example:
2x Italy: 100 Lire (1968) + 200 Lire (1979)
mint = 30 euro  catalogue value
used = 0.20 euro catalogue value (if you are lucky enough to find a buyer because are really common)

I don't know other coins but If there are some gold/silver the value used coin it's equal to raw metals.
This is the sad reality about coin collection

A small suggestion: why don't you auction the coins in a country specific way because people might not be interested in buying all the coins in one go.

After receiving no bid for hours, I've decided to lower the starting bid to 1.25 BTC and minimum increment to 0.05 BTC...

If the first one to bid wins, I'll give him these paper money for free!

I'd like to auction off 125 of very old and rare coins, which I got from my father. Bitcoin as a payment processor is accepted. TCS Red Box or DHL will be used for the delivery, the shipping cost is included in the bid, so you don't have to worry about that. If you're very trusted here, then I can send you the coins first (and only take the little percentage of it at first to cover the shipping cost), but if you're new here, then it'd be so nice of you if you can simply trust me and send me the payment first, but I'd welcome escrow if you insist, the middle-man must be very senior here though.
