Bumping up a really old thread

I have a C1 and a B2 to sell, I decided to dump all I have now... They both work very well, the C1 looks new, the B2, well, its good but has some glue from old stickers and the like.

Any interest?

As I said in the other thread, how much?

Not interested in bidding, but if you're still looking for anonymous image hosting, Imgur is pretty good.

It's difficult to think of prices in terms of BTC, due to a few factors...

All of my expenses are denominated in USD.
The psychological issue of "delayed overpayment". What happens if the exchange rate settles at $100/BTC, well that just means I paid $70000 for a OLPC!

Anyway, let's do it. I'll take that C1 for 76 BTC shipped. I'll PM you my details.

I'm going to retract my bid for now, given the massive fluctuation recently.

That's fair, although bar for the shipping costs, there is no need for correlation between bitcoins and dollars on this deal. How much is the XO worth to you... in bitcoins? Wink

But I get it, we need to think in terms of what we are used to, and that will be USD or EUR or whatever, so here's a reverse proposal:

~~C1 - 60 coins~~ - sold
B2 - 35 coins

plus shipping: 10 coins to europe, 16 for US.

Offer valid for today, first come, first served. Equipment shipped on Monday.

And I'm back. Any more offers?

BitterTea, given the exchange rate I need to ask, is your offer still valid?

I am in the UK and tempted what ones do you have left?

Nothing finalized yet, so both the B2 and the C1.

Heh, I modified the offer to include shipping, for easier bidding. I'm in Missouri, US.

Right, I'm inclined to accept, but since I will not be able to ship it before next wednesday, I just realized, lets postpone the deal until then. Also remember I'm sending from Europe, meaning you may get customs charge you whatever fee, dunno how that goes with US imports, but I do know that here I get charged extra 9 out of 10 times.

Thanks for the offer. Where are you located?

250 BTC minimum is quite fair I guess because I need it fast :-)

I've sent you the payment address. If I receive payment on time I'll send the XO first thing tomorrow.

Thanks!

I'm guessing 2 months is long enough to assume that Pegasus-Rider is no longer interested

B2 up for sale again, also have a C1 up for grabs now, make your bids.

So, well...
I'd pay 500 BTC for an XO that ships by 9th, and you return 50 BTC for each day I don't have my hands on it, starting from 10.02. Deal?

Sounds fair, if you agree that if it gets caught at customs (which here can add two weeks to the delivery) you count the date it reached customs, not actual delivery. You'll only know that after you receive the package, but tracking may provide information.

Also, if the delay is too big, lets set up a minimum amount I'll get, so you don't get it for free AND I end up paying on top of that

Just throw a number.

Any XO that arrives at either capital by 9th would qualify, if it takes longer to ship, I want something more recent.

WTF is the problem with Russia? UPS simply refuses to ship there (from my city, at least) and most others charge more than 500 btc for a 4 day guaranteed delivery... damn.

Anyway, I will only sell the B2 (because I decided to keep the C1 and the B4 has been sold). If you are interested in being slightly more open towards the delivery date, my country's postal office does provide a 3 work day option for Europe, so if I was to ship it Monday, you'd get it at most by Thursday, the 10th. Or so they say...

I will need to provide a description for customs, you tell me what I should put there so you don't have to pay tax on it.

Finally, I will require payment ahead of shipment, but ask around, I believe I'm well trusted Wink

If you want to go ahead and close this deal send me a PM with your address.
