I love the dragon themed design. Very Chinese.
Did you buy them directly from kialara.com? - I wonder if I custom made some of these with Indian art style - you know flowers, elephants, tigers and all (classic royal), then would anyone here be willing to buy them for a higher cost than the base making + metal price.
Is our Indian audience that developed?
PS: Before you ask, yes I can make them. And by that, I do not mean that I personally make them.
The website of kialara.com is new, the maker used to sell from forum itself before that and through his
blog.
he has done quite few designs ranging from $99 - $2000 but their secondary market value has gone upto $20k for some bars over time.
If you want to make something, work on your own style, you won't be able to sell much if you just copy others and change a little something.
I can help you out with sales internationally if you do, there are quite few Indian Collectors as well but am not sure if you would be able to sell many or all just within our Country. And if it does turn out as beautiful as this, many international collectors will want a piece of it. So i MIGHT just pick 50% of what you make to help them out.
PS - if you go with chineese mints for the making, be sure to include error correction in terms and condition as they make a lot of errors.
Good luck
Thanks for creating this topic and we always wanted good old timers like you to return back to the board and contribute for the betterment. I am very much interested in collectibles and have started collecting small cheaper coins like Bitcoin Pennies initially this year. The major problem I am facing right now with collecting is the shipping fees which I should pay for bringing items to India. If many of us (Indians) are interested in collectibles and would like to buy from the USA or EU, we could sort out the insane shipping fees and have a consolidated shipping to India and later once we receive it we can have a separate cheaper shipping from a common point to other states.
Another added advantage is that if many of us are interested in the collectibles, we could have a cumulative bid on items and the items can be separately shipped upon once we receive it in India. For instance, if someone auctions 10-20 satori coins as one single lot we could speak upon the possibilities of how much coins each Indian forum member requires and based on the input one single member can bid upon and win the auction. Once we receive them in India we can consider the shipping activities which can be further carried out.
Apart from that I can vouch for you based on your expensive trades all over the forum and the expensive crpto-collectibles which you currently hold. Let's see how others react upon this unique topic.
P.S There are lots of possibilities and advantages if we as a team of Indian forum members strive hard to make this board great again.
Indeed, if there is enough interest, we can arrange a group buy for future products to save on shipping. It's really a hassle when it comes to Shipping.
Be free to add photos of items that you think are cool or you own to show-off
Cheers
