US shipping has been sorted! It will now cost 5.25$ instead of 25$! I will PM you (don't PM me, just wait for my PM) then I will ask for your address, preferred serial and payment.

So international shipping will proceed as follows, I will PM you (don't PM me, just wait for my PM) then I will ask for your address and preferred serial. I will then reply with an address, and I will ask you to pay and please respond with a tx. I will reply to you with your tracking when I receive it. The reason it will proceed like this is that there will not be a flat shipping fee, but the exact shipping cost (hopefully saving a bit).

I will PM you shortly after I pay my remaining deposit.

Please note that there'll be a short delay to get all parcels shipped, but this is the quickest/cheapest way to sort everyone out for the group buy.

And if all else fails, I'll absorb some of the shipping cost and just ship from here. I do want to make this a success group buy, so I can gauge whether I should do more of them in the future.

I would normally be shipping from South Africa, but I know the price would average out at 25$ per shipment. It was pointed out that I would significantly bring the price down if I had a US distributer since F*D is located in America, and shipping to US customers there is much cheaper. I can't say what the price will be from the US to other places since I don't know the pricing system.

I will have a proper price by Friday or Saturday, whenever I pay my remaining deposit. I will try to organise something before then.

Where will you be shipping from? How much would the difference be between shipping to the U.S. And shipping to the UK?
When will you have a price in mind of the actual bar? If the price isn't too high, I'd like bar #95.
Thanks

I am currently trying to work out something to get someone from the US to distribute the bars, so we can bring down that shipping cost of 25$ to hopefully something like 5$.

I will get back into discussion with minerjones with regards to the bars.

In the meantime, I have put up an auction for my sets. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1075570.new#new

Thanks for the suggestion. I feel like no matter who I choose to ship with, it will now be with someone in the US. Maybe I will organise with someone to just handle all of my orders then. If I handle international orders, it will be shipping to me and then shipping again, it would just be cheaper one way.

Just to throw my hat in the ring, I will likely offer 5 of my bars #16-20 to the forum at low cost.  I don't wish to make any formal lists now or deal with orders/money/PMs yet.

I may suggest that miffman handle all overseas people, and myself/minerjones handle all US people.  minerjones ordered Real bitcoins and both he and I have bars each.

Perhaps miffman and minerjones could start a new thread and consolidate lists of people wanting the Real bitcoins and Bars?  The bars/coins will both be ready at the same time, it sounds like.

I personally see no need for US buyers to get hit with added shipping fees.  

Noted. I don't know who from my list is actually in the US though? I don't have anyone's address yet.

Well I will do it with 0 extra costs...I will just charge exact shipping to everyone else. USPS Priority is $5.25 from me to anyone in the USA.

If we don't work anything out, then we could actually do that 

You should just ship them to me then 

Still not too sure, but something like that. More details to follow soon!

What do you mean by that exactly? Are you going to have them shipped to a .us first?

I am currently in discussion with minerjones to work out US shipping. There may or may not be changes, but I will keep all communications open on this thread.

Yep this is it. It still comes up to just under the price of a bar if you buy it from Chris.

He just doubles prices because numbers are special or something

So you are doubling the cost that you are paying for them? I get it...you only making $5 it is shipping that makes it so pricey.

Okay, so the price will be as follows:

0.075BTC + 15$ + 25$ + 5$

What each means:

-0.075BTC is one tenth of the deposit I've made
-15$ is one tenth of the remaining deposit (this amount will be converted to BTC when I pay the remaining deposit)
-25$ flat for international shipping with tracking. (to be converted before I ship)
-5$ for a small profit for me (to be converted with the shipping amount)

This will come to about 63$, close to the cost of a single bar + tracking from f*D (and about 13$ if you don't live in the US!).

---

I will ask for 2 sets of payments as follows:

-Once I have made the final deposit, I will request payment for the 0.075BTC + 15$
-Once I receive the bars, I will request payment for the 25$+5$

I will not ship your bars until you have paid for shipping.

Prices per par:

The price per bar for bars 91-98 will be as I mentioned above.
The price for bar 99 is 0.175BTC+15$+25$+5$
The price for bar 100 is 0.375BTC + 15$ + 25$ + 5$

I have already personally reserved bars 99 and 100. I am open to trading bars, so if you'd like 100 or 99, then you will need to pay the difference

As I have said, the first people who signed up get the first choice on a bar serial, so please indicate which serial you want, and I will remove serial availability as they get taken up. You will have your number next to your name in the OP.

Thank you! If you don't like something I've done, please just reply here or PM me. I am more than willing to work something out.

--What if you decide you don't want a bar? Or you decided to just sign up for fun? Then you just don't pay for your bar and your name gets taken off. I am trusting you to stick with it and proceed with payment. I could ask for a deposit, but honestly, I have a lot of faith in the people that have signed up.
