Not a smartass, just curious. Was looking to get a couple 1BTC coins but that isn't possible through the source anymore. So now all I see are collectors and resellers making extra off the same thing. I am just trying to determine what that 'thing' is that makes it $40-60 over face value.
I seem to remember casa selling them for around 1.28BTC two years ago, what has changed?
By the way I am not a coin guy as if you couldn't tell.
Cool, sorry if I offended you mentioning the "smartass" thing (although there are plenty of trolls on here, you have to be careful). I have a coin listed on BitMit for 1.38. And, I made sure that was the cheapest price on there for one. By the way-I'd rather sell here than BitMit (avoid their fee). User "molecular" sold out of coins selling them at 1.6! Although, that included free worldwide shipping. My price includes domestic (USA) shipping.
And yes, there was originally a premium on Casascius coins anyways (it only makes sense-he had to cover the costs of making the coins/holograms, and a profit). But now demand is much higher because Casascius sells by invite-only. I figured I could move this quick @
1.38 BTC. We'll see.
