Topic: For Sale: Infamous Scam Artist WOODCOLLECTOR'S 'Black Swan Coin' (Read 637 times)
I would be interested in buying one of his smaller coins, but not this beast for 2BTC.
I don't think anyone will give you your original price for it.
Can we agree to post the bids in this thread so that everything's out in the open?

what ever happened with that guy...did he just disappear or admit he was scamming 
I was talking with him about making some wooden coins to start selling at a MUCH lower price point and he even made a prototype, but he said he got in a horrible accident and broke some bones. That was the last I heard from him.
Thats what I couldnt understand, why he wouldnt try to do that and honestly sell the coins he was making, and not try to misrepresent them. Handcarved or not they were cool. Oh well, another scam in the history books!

The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight.
The theory was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain:
The disproportionate role of high-profile, hard-to-predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance, and technology.
The non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to the very nature of small probabilities).
The psychological biases that make people individually and collectively blind to uncertainty and unaware of the massive role of the rare event in historical affairs.
This piece was created to symbolize Bitcoins position as a sort of black swan event. "Black Swan" iscarved into a gorgeous specimen of Quartersawn Zebrawood, (one of my favorite woods to work with due to the crazy end grain patterns), and accented with onyx black text and designs, then finished in crytstal coat. (the crystal coat is what gives it the glittery like finish that reflects like diamonds around the raised surface areas.)

The above is Woodcollectors description - my description is its a beautiful piece but it just reminds me too much of when i was scammed, he scammed me on the price of this and also did not send another piece I paid 3BTC for. I will post my own pics later, the blue in his pictures is actually shiny glossy black. Its beautiful.
If nobody pays the 2BTC asking price then whoever sends me the highest offer by PM within 7 days takes it.
