Not from eBay. Former member who used to be on this forum. I'm on his mailing list. There is one on eBay from the same seller though. And yes it was funded post fork. The history I got was that these were sold privately by smoothie and funded by him (hence they don't say buyer funded).
Hi, I am also ebay user cflow01/thecryptostore and wanted to shed some light on the ques on here.
I am the one who had a lot of these Autographed Certified COA coins, dating back to being funded as far back as a couple years ago.
To be clear on these and ANY coin 2014 on, Smoothie does not fund coins directly and is not permitted to do so.
He provides a list of the factory assembled coin addresses and requires they be funded prior to shipping, and verifies such prior to shipping.
Otherwise, any coin sent out unfunded, would be laser marked "buyer funded".
Any coin you see funded 2014 est on would be done this way, not just these, and it was a loophole of sorts to have factory assembled and secure coins, already funded (not by him), when they shipped directly from the factory and not marked "buyer funded".
Really who funds it is irrelevant, BTC is BTC, and Back in 2013, buyers would send payment to Lealana for coin and face value sales price, in crypto payment only, to Lealana, and then he would fund them presumably from that or a "holding" account of sorts, and then the coins shipped out funded, same thing as now in reality.
These certified autographed coins were funded in the way stated above, only prior to shipping, so if they were obtained anytime from a couple yrs back to present, that would be when they were funded, and would be why you see funding date of AUG 2017 on this one for example.
These would be old stock coins made in 2013, sitting unfunded, until ready to ship. They were not sold pre-regulation. I have worked with ANACS on these coins and provided them provenance to show authenticity of coins, and they have subsequently listed each on the slab as "Certif COA version", and every autographed one is imaged in their database.
Not speculating here, however I would assume any additional coins Lealana may/would be sitting on, funded in 2013 by himself personally, would not be sold due to federal regulations.
I hope that clarifies the questions. I would not want it represented that Lealana would sell any coins not permitted to sell.
thx:)
