That was the first link and it exists. Unless this whole thing was a misunderstanding then I think we all know what has happened and be mindful of it in the future.

The real one is here

 Looks like the account was made for a laugh or to divert attention from something. I really don't know. I thought it was just a big misunderstanding now its getting stupid

not a name clone scammer - looks like a legit pm to me.

seems strange BitchImightbe doesnt recall or can find any trace of the message when it came from his account today?

Look closer. The "I" is an "l" in the scammer's email.

Edit: I could be wrong, can you fake activity count?

Account activity matches at 105 - not a throw away cloned name account

Agreed a sale then sent me a payment address 20 minutes ago saying pay 2.5 BTC today, after you agreed the sale. I hope there was a legitimate misunderstanding with you there.

Scammers create fake accounts that are similar to the seller. They then watch the sales and send a fake "You won the sale, send payment here" to all the other bidders.

It was the same person who asked me to make payment today to a bitcoin address untill I mentioned it on this thread. After I mentioned it on this thread I was told the bar was sold. this was 12 hours after the sale was agreed. As I said I hope it was a genuine missunderstanding

Could you post a quote of the PM you received out of interest.

& thanks Yankee for agreeing to act as escrow on this, the tip will be on me this time :-)

I can´t find any trace of messages between you and me besides the one we exchanged about the bar some time ago.
As a precaution i´ve changed my password.

Again, the bar is sold and shipped, anyone contacts you or any other forum member saying something else is trying to scam you.

I've been asked to handle escrow for this transaction and have agreed.

@Otoh has contacted the seller and myself and has paid the funds to a designated cold storage address.

We are waiting on @BitchImightbe to ship the product and upon receiving it, I will release the funds to him

Thanks all  Grin

I'll buy it now for the full 3.05 BTC asking price, please to see my rep in sig where I've donated & given away many thousands of dollars worth of coins, if you trust me to pay on receipt of the bar then we don't need escrow; if we do then Yankee, Charlie from BitInstant, is already doing two for me atm.

Were would you be shipping from, or I may also be able to pick up in person from some places.

Will do a scan of the bar later so you can get a better view of it´s condition, hologram etc.

CryptoKilla: The guy who sold it to me did 2 deposits on the bars BTC adress, therefore it´s "loaded" or "funded" with 2BTC.

EDIT:

Here you go, first bits visible to verify via ex. blockchain  Smiley
Truely scratch free and in pristine condition, the fingerprints on the plastic is only visible since i didn´t took the time to wipe ´em off before the scan.

Sorry about the orange tile, i hate it too  Grin
The bar is wrapped in protective cellophane originally from Mike and in MINT condition.
It´s the only one i´ve seen in such perfect condition.

I bought this here on Bitcointalk a while ago. The bar is bought directly from Mike (Casascius) before i got my hand on it and his handwriting is visible on the paper envelope. The bar is in MINT condition and still wrapped up in the original plastic (I placed the bar carefully on the paper envelope to avoid scratches in the plastic while taking photos even). The bar is funded. - Keep that in mind.

0.001 BTC - Casascius funded (2013.07)
1.0001 BTC - User funded (2014.01)
1.0 BTC - User funded (2014.01)

Information: The original price from Casascius for a 2013.07 bar was 2BTC

I´m taking offers. Let´s keep the chit-chat out of this thread, if you got any valid question post ´em i will do my best to answer Smiley
Escrow is the buyers responsibility.
