Topic: Buying gold with Bitcoins? - page 3. (Read 4817 times)
I ordered from bitcoincommodoties and my order arrived within a week (international order). I will deal with them again.
I also tried to get info from coinabul, bitcoincommodities and btcgold.
None of them answered my question.
I personally believe they just keep the BTC, because they are anon and can't be refunded.
I would really like to switch to real hard investments, but it's not easy to get money from BTC here in Germany...
Alternatives, please?

I've read something about possibly buying gold with Bitcoins, is this true?
Has anyone else done this & is it getting common? What exchanges offer this kind of service?
Any more info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

I ordered a 1/10th oz Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin from Coinabul, September 14th and it still isn't here yet. What's worse is I e-mailed Jon yesterday about it and have heard nothing back. I'm assuming the 'fake gold tungsten' ordeal has set them back in getting products to their customers, but benefit of the doubt only lasts so long.
Not looking good. I have now been ignored for 3 days. My original enquiry told me my order was in process and to check on the site, despite there being nothing there. I have emailed numerous times and have been ignored each time. It looks as though Ive been ripped off.
I should have know better as the site has a mix of stuff and doesnt really look like a pro gold selling site. Oh well, you live and learn. If anything turns up I will report back and apologise for not being patient!

I am still azwaiting an order from BTCgold.org. Its been 2 weeks and their customer service is ignoring me now. They were recommended on here so I thought I would give them a go. Ill report back if the mercahdise ever shows up!

I recently received an order from Bitcoincommodities. Exactly as ordered. Less than 1 week shipping (international). All round, good service.
so what weight og gold is that? and how much?
1oz .999 fine gold, $200 over spot. Includes a capsule, custom acrylic Bitcoin ring, and a presentation box.
This is a custom-made Casascius Coin denominated as 1000 BITCOINS.

I am willing to sell my gold rounds empty without the 1000 BTC. They are, naturally, 1000 BTC cheaper that way. The back is blank with a recess for the private key, the same as if you bought the round and peeled and redeemed the key.
Also Casascius coins for 10 BTC silver 1 oz rounds (2 types) & 1,000 BTC 1 oz fine gold rounds 
Highly recommended! If you wish to combine PMs with BTC together in a single physical item.

I have bought off a couple of these sites with no problems. The prices are quite a bit higher than spot price but thats what you get when you buy physical gold.
Wow great info, I will look into both websites.
So these are smaller companies that have just emerged within this market? Are you the sole owner/employee etc? Just wondering how big these bitcoin to gold exchanges are.
Do you offer "normal" gold bullion not in the shape of a bitcoin?
Is the ordering/checkout/shipment process for both websites very secure & anonymous?
Once the order is placed with bitcoins how long before it's shipped & how is the bullion actually shipped? (is it shipped insured?)

I am the sole owner/operator for MyBitcoinMint, and at the moment we do not offer typical bullion products (Coinabul does, and is definitely respected in the community).
Our site only accepts Mt Gox BTC codes at the moment, we're making changes to accept all BTC payments. However, if you're interested in something, send me a PM and we can do a simple BTC transfer. We can keep it as anonymous as you'd like, as long as you let me know where I need to ship it
And yes, we do insure our shipping, and wouldn't take longer than 1-2 business days. I'll let Coinabul and his customers talk on his behalf
Anyways, Coinabul has been around for a year now. We'll have been open to the public for a year in 9 days! (Woo!)
We have not had a single customer lose their order or anything else sketchy. We've had a couple run-ins with Customs, but we've always gotten the orders to the right place. We believe in fair prices and good customer support. We're going to be here for much longer than a year, I can tell you that
We're also the only business currently trusted enough by Mt.Gox to be verified by their merchant program. We're publicly known, a legal company, and all that good stuff to keep us honest.
Let me know if you have any questions about our site or any of the products! Some of the coins have quite an interesting history!
Cheers,
-Jon

I have ordered twice from coinabul.....first time the order was quick and easy. I've been waiting almost 3 weeks for my 2nd order though.... I Just emailed for an update. They usually respond quickly.
We've had some delays this month. Orders are moving quickly again now 
TraderSteve (http://goldstarbullion.com/) sometimes has a better price because he uses a different price algorithm, but he just sells random 1oz rounds.
