Please note that the seller must accept a guarantor service, I will not send the money directly.

i.e. I send money to a third party (trusted user on this forum) and seller sends the coin to me, once I confirm the delivery the third party sends the money to the seller. I will pay the fee for the guarantor service.
For the safety I will record a video of receiving and opening the parcel, and inspecting the hologram.

Also we could just have a personal meeting for the deal

I live in South-East Asia, we could meet in some big hub like Singapore or Hong Kong airport.

It usually works that buyer sends BTC to escrow like minerjones, then seller sends coin to minerjones ( not you). As soon as he receives coin from seller he forwards on the bitcoin ( minus 1%), and then forwards on the coin.

EDIT: also note insurance is impossible on bitcoins, I use the above method to import into Australia frequently, but if it gets lost/ stolen in the mail after escrow forwards you the coin, you are shit out of luck, and will lose your bitcoin.

A VISUAL help with Escrow explanation Wink

No problem, this method is acceptable too.

You're a risky guy if you send $10'000 items via regular post

I accept DHL courier service only!

Using DHL won’t cover the parcel in case of loss/damage etc.
You can insure the package up to the value it’s worth but as per their terms, it’ll be excluded from their coverage.

This includes:
• Any means of non-cash payment (e.g. cheques, ready to use credit-cards, fiscal stamps, securities, negotiable instruments, treasury notes and the like)
• Bullion and all precious metals
• Money of every description (e.g. cash, bank notes, coins, currency notes)

Bitcoin (even in a tangible form) is a commodity that won’t be covered. As BTC prices rise, most sales will be F2F or sellers will opt to peel rather than sell and expose themselves to any risk.

Exactly. I think it safer not to say it worth lots of money, more chance of being stolen that way. Customs is notorious for it.

I want to buy a Casascius coin, common one - not "error" or otherwise rare - because common ones are cheaper

Please PM your offers.

Considering the rarity and an additional shitcoin balance inside I think the adequate price should be about 1.2 BTC. Please do not PM if you want to sell 1 BTC coin for 1.5-2 BTC

The coin must be in mint/new condition, however I could consider slightly damaged (not a peeled hologram of course

)

Very difficult to find the brass Casascius in better than MS67. Higher grades are more common on the Silver ones, but they go for much higher prices.
