Bummer, I was looking forward to winning this. Are you planning on tinkering for a long time, or might this be coming up for auction again sometime soon?
I think I'm just going to keep it. I waited 10 months for the damn thing after all, LOL.

Sorry, guys. I've decided to cancel this auction as of now. I'm probably just as nervous about this auction as the bidders are since there is a lot of BTC involved. I think I'll just go back to tinkering with the jalapeno.
My apologies to the bidders, interested parties, and John K.
Auction cancelled. Do not bid.

Noooooooooo! just kidding.
btw where did you buy the AVR dragon from, and how much did it cost?

I bought mine at DigiKey. I like them because they have same day shipping and shipping was only like $3 dollars. Just pick USPS first class shipping.

I have contacted JohnK to see if he will provide his escrow service.
Reminder: The auction ends in ~24 hours.

Not a dumb question. Quite simply, I've never done it, I'm not sure how it works, and didn't want to deal with it.
It's pretty simple. You just PM JohnK and ask him to escrow. He's pretty much the go-to escrow guy 'round these parts. Though the Bitcoin protocol allows for low-trust escrow via multi-signature transactions, John usually just creates a bitcoin address and holds the funds for people.

I'm interested in bidding, just wondering why the aversion to escrow? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

Will you ship the dragon as well?
I kind of wanted to keep it since I have other Atmel microcontrollers.

Dhl is the slowest shipping company I have ever had to deal with.
June 22, 2013, 03:55:24 PM
Adding Fedex to allowed international shipping.
June 22, 2013, 03:47:36 PM
Actually, DHL isn't looking too good. I'm going to limit international shipping to USPS or UPS.
June 22, 2013, 03:37:22 PM
Any chance you reconsider shipping to Europe on my account with TNS,UPS,DHL ?
I will allow you to bid on the auction if you wish. I can do UPS (preferred) or maybe DHL.
To others watching this auction, international bids will be considered but I will only allow bids from users that I feel I can trust. Please ask for permission.

Lets get this kicked off 20 BTC offered!
Thanks for kicking it off!
Another small note: I said the times were PST but technically they are PDT. Also, the site hosting my pictures seems to be really flaky. There is supposed to be a picture in the post but I don't see it yet. Make sure to refresh.
I just finished reassembling the unit.

Thanks - true,
bidding a lot (but not winning a lot). I figured to do a remote desktop for a minute or two and check out the unit first to help my comfort level.
I did a deal recently with sahkan for 10/13GH Block Eruptor, he had low # of posts and seemed a bit short in his communication at first. I asked for a video call using FaceTime/Tango/Skpe to see the units and that really helped comfort level for doing a non escrow deal (talk about nail biting). He was great to deal with and had my unit the next day.
