The skepticism in this space is rather contagious. Anyway, we are working on the entire supply chain.

The storage should not be a concern to anyone here apart from myself and the rest involved.

Sorry Saltyspitoon for delaying the deal, but we are dealing a precious commodity right there and thus all precautionary measure have to be considered before moving. It should not come as a surprise to anyone here that I've had to introduce and train the rest of the crew on the benefits of conversion to btc, notwithstanding the "volatility"... (Gold was at one time sold at 10Usd per gram). When we are ready to ship, I'll inform y'all.

Wish you a Happy and prosperous New Gregorian year.

Come on people...this didn't pass the common sense test from the beginning.

Agree. But you cant bame me to wish that it would work out.
It would be in bitcoin and our interest if we can start seeing this kind of action.
More, better :-)

But yes, you are right...

This is/was actually an impressive attempt. Kewbesi acted properly and got serious offers even though the account is new and untrusted and the offer is very fishy. (even if they have the gold, why are they trying to sell it for BTC anonymously on this forum eh?). If the deal had gone through it would have a great example on how to handle deals on here. As it stands now it is still a good example though.

For those who wonder about the apparant poor storage of the gold... I am assuming that either 1) it is in an unsafe cabinet inside a vault inside a secure building hopefully in a safe area or 2) It's not real and thus doesn't need to be secured so much.

Never heard back from them. I'm not too interested in the gold anymore though, turning my attention towards buying BTC instead.

*edit* reading over my last few posts leading up, and I noticed I said, "I've never used escrow" I meant I've never used nonhuman escrow heh. I didn't want to edit the original post. -completely nonrelated to this post

Does this surprise anyone? Myself and others pointed out that he is storing $10 mil worth of "gold" in a tool box.  Clearly this is a scam.

I was hoping it would be legit.
We need this kind of positive action, moving millions between btc and gold.... With all parties involved being happy...
Well, maybe next time :-)))

I'll purchase 2 grams depending on postage. What would be the cost for postage to Melbourne Australia.

Happy to use Tomatocage as escrow aswell and I'll cover that cost.

I'll buy one of those nuggets.

PM me and I'll give you an address you can send the nugget to. Upon receipt and verification of purity I'll send you payment.
SaltySpitoon can get away with this, but for most everybody else it's recommended that you use escrow Smiley

Is this the deal I was PM'd about for escrow? If it is, I need to know some details like who will cover the 1% fee, what exchange rate will be used, etc. Thanks in advance.

Yes it is, will have to get back to you in the next two to three days. Thanks for your prompt response.

I would not place a limit on the order, if the buyer would handle shipping. But 100gms is the minimum order at which we can ship at our own cost.

The nuggets have variable weights, and do not contain solid impurities. We can ship worldwide.

Salty: How many grams would you need in order to satisfy your testing? We can share the shipping cost (Included in the escrow amount). Though we are yet to decide whether to use bithalo or a human escrow.

I'd be happy to place an order to test in the next week or so, waiting for a CNC mill to arrive so I can make my own graphite molds (cough hint to the community) really I can test with any amount 1g-2g or larger.

I'd prefer a human escrow since I've never used escrow, there are a lot of forum members who have been trustworthy with an obscene amount of BTC, and it would be against self interest to act unfaithfully as an escrow agent, as they will make more money in the long run. I'd recommend TomatoCage, Kluge, DannyHamilton, OGNasty, or JohnK, but I'm open to suggestions if you have any people in mind.

How would you like to do this trade? We have agreed to ship 10grams for testing. Where do we ship to? So as to have a final costing that will enable a start the escrow process.

Pmed with shipping info.
