Too bad that you're only selling them as batch, I would like to bid for 2 or 3 coins.
Would you maybe sell single coins apart from this auction too?

I bought a bunch of Series 1 & 2 casascius coins from Mike Caldwell more than a year ago. And I'm interested in selling some of them for bitcoins.
I thought about selling them one at a time on ebay, but that seems like a lot of work. Plus I would have to give a huge cut to ebay and paypal.
So I'm trying to see if auctioning them would work well. Not sure if I will regret this as I've seen them go for >$2000 each on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Casascius-Bitcoin-Minted-in-Sept-2011-Version-1-With-Error-/181115649401?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item2a2b557d79
If you win this auction, maybe you can turn around and sell them on ebay to make a profit.
This auction is for a tube of 30 series 1BTC casascius coins. They will come in a square coin tube.
I found that the half dollar coin tube fits 30 of these coins really well: http://www.amazon.com/Square-Half-Dollar-Coin-Tubes/dp/B004DB1K2E
I bought these from Mike and put them straight into the coin tube and kept it in my safe.
So the condition of the coins should be mint, but I have not opened the tube so I don't know if the coins have tarnished at all.
The starting price of the auction will be 30 BTC. Please bid in increments of at least 1 BTC.
The auction will end on May 1st 12:00 AM (right when April becomes May). Each valid bid will delay the end time by another hour.
When the auction is over, I will PM the winner an address (or post here publicly if that's what the winner prefers) and I expect payment promptly (2 days).
I will offer to the next highest bidder in case of non-payment. The tube of 30 coins will be shipped and insured (free of charge of course) to the winner within 3 business days.
I can have Mike Caldwell verify that he did indeed sell me a bunch of coins last year. My bitcoin-otc rating: http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=coblee
If you know me, you know that my reputation is on the line. If you really want escrow, I might consider it, but the buyer would need to pay for all the fees.
