Topic: SATOCHIP The Times Limited Edition HW cards! - page 2. (Read 520 times)

I didn't know that South America has such a big problems with delivery, even for envelopes, but I did hear about bad postal service in Spain.

Thank you for clarification Tibu!

I don't know who this Satochi guy is, and your ironical comment makes no sense, but I can arrange for special card with your profile name to be created and sent to random user for ''doxing'' purposes.
Since it was possible to purchase this cards directly through website, nobody would know what your forum account was, unless you want to reveal it here.

Well I guess we have new marketing genius who thinks that designs is not important in life, and I guess you walk the street in dirty old bag  

It would be better if SATOCHIP issued customized cards with these Bitcointalk profiles (which the buyer will choose and indicate), instead of Satochi (as in the picture). When they send out cards by mail, SATOCHIP will know at what address each forum user lives. Great idea to collect a base and lose/steal it to hackers.

There is nothing unusual about these cards. The most common collector's edition. It doesn’t matter what design is on these cards, what’s important is what’s inside.

Hello guys,

My bad. I said that the shipping was "free" but that's inacurate.
Let me give you an overview...

At Satochip, we try to offer affordable AND secure solution. Our business model includes the shipping costs. Why? Because we think it's a non sense to sell a 25 bucks products and charge an additional 10 bucks for shipping.
How can we achieve that? Simply by sending the product using a small letter... Easy, cheap. With no tracking, no insurance.
Such shipping method works great from Belgium to Europe, the United States and Canada. We have a 95% success rate, with 4% returning due to incorrect address and only 1% lost.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to use this method for Latin America. Eg: Brazil require some specific papers to import electronics goods. Peru is a nightmare if you don't use tracking services etc...
Kinda same reasons for Africa or some specific countries in Asia. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world.

In a resume, the tracking shipping is mandatory (and must be paid by the user) for:
- EU :
--- Belarus, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Moldava, Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain and Ukraine
(We had to add Spain to this list because the Spanish postal service sucks. The rate of lost or stolen mail is very high).
- ASIA, AFRICA and SOUTH AMERICA

For the rest of the world, you can chose between free shipping or paid tracking shipping as an option.

I hope this is more clear and again, sorry for the confusion.

Well, it is expensive for me, considering that the shipping fee costs 1/3 of the purchasing product. Also, as stated by OP, shipping cost is free for most places that's why. But I completely understand the cost of shipping as we are in different countries. I expected it as this was not my first time. Anyway, I have proceeded with my purchase and happily waiting for it to be shipped.  

It's only 10.50 EURO for shipping to the Indonesian region, so it's not too expensive and I can say it's standard.


Fortunately... I had placed my order early so I still got to purchase this limited edition satochip card.

This card is really great because I want to have this card as a collection or storage of BTC in the future.

OK, now I'm curious as to who's going to get what number whenever they arrive.  Should buyers post pics here if they want, or is that asking for too much anonymity-breaking?  I mean there's only 5 of these things, and I think they've all been scooped up by members in this thread (and thank you again, dkbit98!).

HAHA
I had the same thought earlier. That's why I decided immediately so I can secure the remaining piece.
I can't miss this amazing collectible, due to being in a rush, I forgot to add the NFC blocking case to add on my cart which I want to include on my purchase, but anyway, I'm so happy to have the last piece!

For forum fans, I'd have to agree--but I guess we'll see if any of the five go up for sale anywhere.  I still can't believe only five of these were made.  Even most limited edition silver coins (which you can't mint an unlimited number of, unlike a Satochip) have runs in the hundreds or thousands.  I really wonder who made that decision and why.

Lol.  I'd bookmarked the page, just checked it and saw that they were sold out and was going to post that here.  You beat me to it.  I figured it wouldn't take more than a few hours from the time I made my last post until all of them were spoken for.

Does anyone know of a good protective sleeve or case to store a Satochip in?  Those Ballet wallets come with a hard plastic case which is really nice, but I don't happen to have one to spare.

Edit: Oh, I guess there's that NFC-blocking sleeve I just noticed, but I'm looking for something more along the lines of that Ballet case.

Nice.
I am interested to hear your impressions when you receive the card.

Correct.
I am sure this cards will be much more valuable in aftermarket soon
You know that people are waiting in line to buy new Rolex watches right?
That is because of limited number of watches produced, and people are willing to pay anything.
Consider this limited cards as Rolex hardware wallet cards

Oh boy that was fast!
We are now officially OUT OF STOCK for this Satochip card design, looks like you snatched one of those gems in the last moment

I am not sure about your location, but guys from Satochip told me that shipping should be free for most places (without tracking), but there is additional fee if you select optional tracking.

Stay tuned and follow this topic.

I ordered mine - I've tried to look for a voucher/coupon to apply, or at least get a discount. However, I could not find any. LOL.
The shipping fee cost was too high, but I really liked the card, so I proceeded.

Thank you for this awesome card, would like to see more designs in the future.

Gawd dangly!!  These are absolutely awesome.  I'm not a big crypto collector, but I love any forum-related memorabilia, if only for the fact that there don't tend to be a lot of bitcointalk collectibles.  I appreciate you alerting the community about this gem, OP.  Satochips are great to use, but they're kind of like postage stamps and coins as well--art can be added on top of the practicality.

Nice.  There are only 5 cards being made?  That seems like an incredibly limited edition.  And yeah OP, I know you said the number but I'm just voicing my thoughts out loud here.  Wouldn't they want to make more?

ordered mine - looks like 2 remain.

Few days ago Satochip and me organized a nice Giveaway for 14th years of Bitcointalk forum and lucky winner was selected randomly.

Interest was shown from other forum members who really liked the design of this cards and they wanted to buy them if possible.

Current card design N¹ was printed in only 5 limited edition cards and this design won't be printed ever again, so better hurry up if you want to find them in stock.
