So I am not the seller - I have no notion of what the price should be (and as the maker, I tend to steer clear of participating in the market).  No possibility of offending me - offer $0 just for giggles if you'd like.

His next of kin (& attorney) are not Bitcoin savvy so whether or not they decide to follow through with selling it will depend on whatever they see, USD preferable, and whether they will feel risk selling what must feel like a hot potato (hot in the sense it is a small object with a lot of value, the kind you would have professional handling for rather than ship in the mail).

Do you have a specific price range that you have in mind?

As is the same as above, having the 500 BTC intact would most likely be out of my price range

Sorry for your loss Mike. Tough time, I am sure.

I would be interested in the redeemed bar, more within my price range than an intact bar .... but it would be a real shame if that ended up being the way it needed to be sold. Hope you can find a buyer for it 'as is'.

Is the sale (of the bar) fixed in USD, or could it be bitcoin ? (Effectively, could a USD offer be made, but the payment made in bitcoins)

Any limitations as far as international sales go ?

(Thanks, and welcome back)

You'll probably find people interested here. If there are more talks about the 500 BTC bar, I don't remember, but I think this is the last time someone showed interest on one of those on the forums.

Also, I guess we're finally going to know who owned the second bar Cheesy Watching.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to feel out how much interest there is for one of the two 500 BTC bars that I made, one which is still intact.

The owner is a long time friend of mine who recently passed away.  His family & their attorney are interested in selling it and they're not sure whether they're best to try to sell it intact (logistically challenging for its value) or to break it open.

So I'm interested in gauging interest in the form of non-binding USD offers on the bar, either open or intact, and in the case of intact, offer could be "$X + 500 BTC" so as to offer price $X on the physical bar itself, the 500 BTC being merely a reimbursement for the bitcoins it contains.

I'm able and willing to certify the bar as the authentic original and also provide the story line for how the bar came to be created and the nature of my relationship with that friend, we go back about 25 years.
