Hello all! Due to lowered shipping charges (when quoted in BTC), we are lowering our fixes s/h rate to BTC0.200, which is still about the same as the price of one coin!

We are also running out on all of the following:
- Canada 1oz Maple Leaf silver coins
- Silver American Eagle 1oz coins
- VAT-free shipping quota to selected EU countries.

There is about 700 coins left. When they run out, I expect it will take at most one month to replenish stock. I cannot do it while the price rallies, so you have the chance of ordering now or needing to order from somebody else in the meantime  Shocked

We still have 100x 5 ounce Vicksburg Silver rounds, they are a real beauty and currently go for less than BTC1 per piece. PM me if interested!

I have lowered the shipping to BTC0.3, also the dollar price is cut because of silver price falling. Feel free to take advantage of the new rates in the OP. If you want to order 100+ ounces, PM me!

Do you still have quota to germany or did 2weix and others buy it all?


The quota was only for the below-spot special deal. I think frm the top of my head, that I can still send about 300 rounds to Germany at least before the VAT quota takes effect.

What's the price on the eagles?

BTC0.01 higher than the maples. You can order them with the same procedure, just add the premium and indicate it in the PM, thank you.


Is shipping still 0.5? I know you gave me a discount last time but given the current exchange rate, I feel the need to ask for another one Smiley

EDIT: I see you say 0.3 in the OP, but then say 0.5. Anyway, how low can you go?

Received my order today. Thumbs up! I'm invested in silver now, it feels good...

I'm also raffling it out (at least in part, we'll see how it goes): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/taabl-raffle-1oz-silver-maple-btc-and-ltc-167060


Thank you for your business! Smiley We are glad to serve you the cheapest rounds.

The dollar formula is again updated, to accommodate the falling price of silver. Now you get about 4 Uncirculated 1oz Maple Leafs for 1 BTC.

O tempora, o mores!

I'm guessing you don't ship to the US and don't carry Philharmonics or Libertads in the larger sizes?

Judging from the OP, I don't ship to the U.S. nor anywhere else except continental European Union, thank you.

I don't have Phils or Libertads in any serious quantity. The products that I carry in bulk are Silver American Eagle, the Maple Leaf and 90% circulated silver coins.

Hi everybody! Perhaps now would be a good time to give feedback on your orders, since most of you should have received them by now! Smiley

It's not a terrible system but it does mean you're charging different amounts to different people and just looks messy.

The top reason, as molecular suggested, is to enable instant lock-in with the price of customer's choice. Any other ways to enable this, require upfront investment of thought or money from my part, which I don't want.

If this one doesn't look like crap, what does?

Yet it is probably the largest coinshop in the US, with sales in $500 million range per year.

Also the company that is selling the maples in this thread, has cumulative sales of several million and has never had a website.

People care for different things and I want to cater to people who want effortless order process, cheap prices and quick delivery.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying Smiley

I'm definitely an "if it works" kind-of guy but I also tend to like laying out the pros and cons. I leave the balancing of those pros and cons to individual preference.

One way would be to have the sender sign a message with the private key of the origin address.

How many % can do this? I cannot  Cheesy

I was more like thinking: "take a random number 1-999 and PM it to me before you pay. Add that number of satoshi to your transaction to prove you sent it".



I believe the "correct" way to do this is to generate a new public address for the transaction (though presumably you could reuse old ones). Though if your method is working, why mess with success?

His method saves one loop in the ordering process and therefore speeds it up considerably. He doesn't need to be online and answering people with an address when they order. I quite like the system and I might actually use it for my casascius sales at some point.


It's not a terrible system but it does mean you're charging different amounts to different people and just looks messy. If you do different addresses, it's "cleaner" but you'd really want to automate it. Then the buyer enters their details, and scans the resulting output QR, cuts & pastes (or enters the key manually if they're masochistic). I've been thinking this might actually be something that could be provided as a service by an external company, the resulting funds being funnelled into the end-seller's single public key and the order information either emailed or provided by an API. Disadvantage is that the external service gets a cut, of course.

perfectly sound theory.  I agree wholeheartedly.  But why would I use BTC to buy it when I can use Fiat?

If I have fiat on hand, I'll probably go looking for that. However, I don't know where to get good deals for fiat and rptiela seems to be developing a good reputation. More importantly than that though, I think it is good to keep bitcoins moving and they're not exactly hard to replace (or in a rising maket, preplace).

Hi, thank you! We will soon be offering also 90% circulated silver (Silvervault: AGD type), and American Silver Eagles. Please reply in this thread if you are interested!

I might be. I don't like to commit unless I'm sure and I'm fluid on a lot of stuff right now. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Why would I buy a metal that is losing value with BTC that is rapidly gaining value?

It is called diversification, which ultimately derives its importance from the theory of personal non-constant marginal utility of wealth.

It is generally agreed that the likelihood of silver losing more than 50% of its purchasing power in one year, is very small.
It is generally agreed that the likelihood of cash losing more than 50% of its purchasing power in connection with the above, is even smaller.
It can be postulated that if both of the above happen, the likelihood of anything holding its purchasing power, is small.
Bitcoin can be that anything, and it has done incredibly well, and will continue to do so. However, the likelihood of it losing more than 50% per year is rather large.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion: For a person that possesses an average, non-constant, marginal utility of money, it makes sense to construct a portfolio of assets, which offers nonzero, positive future value in as many as possible different scenarios. This may consist of bitcoins, silver, cash and other assets, in proportions deemed satisfactory.

This is a perfectly sound theory.  I agree wholeheartedly.  But why would I use BTC to buy it when I can use Fiat?

I have an equally lengthy explanation for that but let's cut it short: I am a moneychanger. You can use fiat or anything if you like, and you only need to pay a premium that equals my cost of selling that fiat or item, and transferring the value to bitcoins. Because at present, fiat is depreciating rapidly, I will probably offer you rather "bad" terms compared to these ones, which are very competitive.
