Topic: [UK/EU GROUP BUY] [CLOSED] Physical silver plated bhCoin serie2 - page 2. (Read 2873 times)

Additional coins have been added to our order - thanks for the prompt payments everyone!

Update from the manufacturer:

FYI above. If you are not comfortable with this risk (noting that tracked shipment methods have £50 insurance by default) and would like to pay for a greater level of insurance in case of the highly unlikely event that the package is lost after I have sent it to you, please let me know now; otherwise I will ship with £50 insurance as per the OP.

hi scotjam,

I've PM you to confirm my interest
let me know how and when to proceed.

Thanks

Order has been placed, but I'm checking whether we can add 2 more without extra shipping charges.

Shipping from UK to AUS will be about £16 (at current rates that's an extra 0.035 BTC)

Total charge would therefore be 0.36 BTC + 0.035 BTC + additional shipping charges on the group buy to add 2 more (likely to be 0.02 BTC, if any).

The reason why there might be additional charges is because we just slipped under the order size bracket where the shipping charges increase, and with two more coins we won't be below that bracket any more. I hope the manufacturers will decide that there will be no additional charges (more sales = better for them after all...), but if there are any extra charges you will need to confirm quickly either way whether you'd like to proceed.

I'll take 2 if you have any left and will post to Australia.

If yes do I PM you to confirm order?

Cheers

Thanks guys!

Just as an update, we're ready to order on our side and I have messaged aEnima (the creator of the coins) to sort out the details; just waiting for his response.

dozerz - please PM me your shipping address at some point as well.

Great to have you on board! With 6, we have enough to make an order so I will place one tomorrow.

Price has been reduced so it will be 0.18BTC each instead of 0.2!

scotjam

Yeah go on, stick me down for 2 then Will DM details through.

Rates are almost back down to $500/BTC now on bitstamp.

Anyone who wants to proceed, speak up; we need one more person in for 2 coins and I will push the button on this soon after; I will not wait forever for more people as this has been open for several days already.

Cheers

scotjam

Really tempted to get 1 or 2, but rate rise has got me hesitating. Depends on a few things, but will try to decide soon

Bumping - any others interested? It would be great if we could get another 1-2 people down and get these ordered before tomorrow

Cheers

scotjam

Got you down

Cheers

scotjam

put me down for 2 thanks.

Group buy aimed at UK buyers interested in 0.1 BTC silver plated physical coins as per:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3551411

GROUP BUY IS NOW CLOSED - FUNDS ARE IN ESCROW READY TO RELEASE TO SELLER ONCE COINS ARRIVE SAFELY IN THE UK



EDITED AS PRICE REDUCED BY 10% TO 0.18!

Great opportunity to get some early bhCoins at an accessible denomination (0.1 BTC) which is important given the sky-rocketing BTC price (who can afford the early 25 BTC Casascius coins now?!). Some first and second series Casascius coins are selling for 5x their face value!

Will consider shipping to EU if tracked shipping is not prohibitively expensive.

Will only make a purchase if I get interest from enough parties to fill an order of 6 or more coins to make it worthwhile. I'm interested in 2 myself, so that's 4 (or more) additional coins.

Price will be 0.18 BTC per coin including tracked UK shipping, or slightly more for international shipping to the EU (I will charge 0.18 BTC + shipping cost, whatever it might be). Buying one yourself from the manufacturer would cost 0.19 + 0.04 = 0.23 BTC.

Terms:
Delivery: everyone in the group buy will be subject to the risk of non-delivery by bhCoin (I do not guarantee this), but I personally don't see this as a big risk (first sale seemed to go fine). When I re-ship them I will use UK tracked shipping which is normally insured up to about £50. I've never seen a UK royal mail tracked parcel get lost, but in the highly unlikely event your coin is lost between me and you, you will get whatever is paid out by the insurance once it is paid out. I will assist you in your claim.  
Customs: I reserve the right to charge extra for customs duties or couriers' "handling fees" to the extent that any are charged to me. Typically I have seen amounts of £10-£20 charged for this kind of transaction. Onward shipping will be withheld until your share of customs is paid; share will be on a per-coin (not per order) basis. Again, this would also be the case if you were buying coins directly yourself (actually it would probably be worse as there is usually a minimum customs / handling charge, and the charge would not be shared between multiple buyers).
Returns: none - I am not a business seller; distance selling regulations do not apply.

For me this isn't really a way to make money (0.18 is only a few pounds more than the cost of buying the coins, paying the postage for them to get to me and then paying the postage from me to you; doesn't really cover the cost of my time) so this is more a way to reduce my cost of buying a couple of these. If you prefer to buy direct, feel free - I just wanted to save a few of us a few pounds. If I don't get sufficient interest here, I just won't proceed.

Please reply in this thread with the number of coins you're interested in.
