Looks like Room101 is the winner! I'll message you in a bit to confirm details (have to go attend to my kids right now, but wanted to confirm the close of the auction).

For all interested, I'll be posting four more auctions very similar to this one on Monday. I'll post them as one auction in four lots. Keep your eyes open for it on Monday. Thanks much!

BIDDING AND PAYMENT

Minimum bid will start at 0.5 BTC. Bidding will be done in 0.005 BTC increments. Bitcoin is the ONLY accepted form of payment for this auction. Please bid in the following format:

CORRECT FORMAT: "I bid 1.005 BTC"

INCORRECT FORMAT: "I bid 1.00012345 BTC"

Should bids come in within 5 minutes of the end of the auction, the auction will be extended by 1 minute increments between additional bids. This will be measured by the minute, not by the second. For example, if a bid comes in at 2:57 MDT (within 5 minutes of auction end), the auction will be extended by one minute to 3:01:00 MDT. If another bid comes in at 3:00:59, the auction will be extended to 3:02:00. If the next bid comes in at 3:01:01, the auction will be extended to 3:03:00. Official bid time records will be determined by the timestamp posted on your bid reply. Upon the auction end, I will announce the winner and declare the end of the auction.

ESCROW and SHIPPING

I have been in contact with minerjones, who has offered to provide escrow services for this auction for a 1% fee/gift. This additional 1% of the auction total will be split between myself and the winning bidder. This means that if you are the winning bidder, you will need to budget an additional 0.5% of the winning total for your share of the escrow.

The coin(s) will be shipped from Utah, USA.  Shipping in the USA will be $30. This shipping cost will be added to the total of the winning bid after the auction ends. Shipping will be via USPS registered mail (which requires a signature upon delivery).

Shipping outside the USA will be managed by minerjones, who has offered to facilitate international shipping for this auction. The winning bidder can choose from USPS, Global Post, UPS, and Fedex. If you are the winning bidder and are outside the US, after the auction ends I will be in touch along with minerjones to coordinate shipping and cost. This cost will then be added to the total of the winning bid. I will ship the coin(s) to minerjones via USPS registered mail, after which he will send to you. Please be aware this method of shipping will take longer than conventional post, because of all these additional safeguards we are utilizing to ensure a successful delivery of your coin(s).

After working out shipping, upon successful payment to the escrow agent, your coin(s) will be shipped within 24 hours or as soon as reasonably possible.

Please do not send payment to any wallet address until shipping and escrow have been determined. Payment will be sent to the escrow agent's wallet.

Shipping arrangement and payment are all due within 72 hours from the time the auction ends. Should the winner not honor their bid and not provide payment in that 72 period, the next highest bidder will be requested to honor their bid.
