Topic: [WTT] Trading Challenge- Main Post! Arculus Metal Wallet + Guns N' Bitcoin Patch (Read 316 times)

All good! Everything seems to blend together after some point, and you are very active on here so no worries haha I wouldn't expect you to remember. And yes its brand spanking new and sealed in the box ready to go! I will drop you a PM now m8. Looking forward to "striking a deal" love that saying =P

Oh, jeez--I went and checked my PMs and found yours and I remember everything now.  It's just that your username doesn't tend to stick out in my head I guess, but that's a "me" problem and not a "you" one. 

So you're willing to trade that wallet?  Has it been opened or is it still sealed/unopened? 

If it's still new--and you're interested in silver plus something crypto-related in trade--why don't you drop me a PM with the dollar amount you'd be willing to let it go for.  And I'm not making a counteroffer, so whatever price you have in your head has got to be the absolute lowest you'll take in trade.  I can then at least have an idea of how much silver is needed, and I'll have to think about the crypto-thing part.  I don't have much, but it doesn't sound like you need much for that piece of it.

**Doh!!**
I just read your post saying you have 5 of these wallets, new.  Pardon my lack of reading.  Bad habit.

Also, I forgot to mention that I do have 5 of these sealed Arculus wallets and maybe another 5 patches so I am willing to accept 5 different offers! So please don't worry about not making a good enough offer or if someone else has made me an offer already. I hope to be accepting 5 different trade offers on these, theres plenty to go around!

OG Nasty you make a great point Sir. Thank you for this input. The retail value (shown on the box) states $99 for the Arculus crypto wallet. They sell at this price on amazon and on their website, however I see them going around the $40-55 and up range on Ebay sealed. The patch I would say like $10 or $15 so maybe like $70 value give or take $10 or 15 bucks. There are really no rules for the trading I will just start off by accepting the best offer I get initially, and I would love to see some options! Ideally some kind of cool crypto note or coin or something along these lines. It could also be non-crypto related too as long as it is something of value and interesting/curious to some extent. So please make any offer you personally would deem fit based on this info. Thanks again.

Cool idea and good luck.  I have a suggestion though.  After looking at the thread (maybe not the most observant reading of my life) it didn't appear that you had any value set for the item and no guidance for what you're looking to trade it for.  I think it would be helpful if you set a price that you think your current item is worth and then a suggestion for what you're looking to trade for.  I'm not familiar with the metal wallet + patch, so I don't know if I should be offering to trade you a Casascius coin or a 1g silver coin. 

I like the idea though and I hope you're able to get a Casascius coin eventually like this.  It's always great to show people what's possible with some work.

Hey! No worries. I'm the guy who got one of those Bitcoin ATMs and we chatted about that a little bit like a year or so ago. I am here and there on the forum but mostly just keeping an eye. I am hoping to be more involved now and in the future.  Hope you've been well!

The Arculus wallets are indeed a crypto storage wallet and they are pretty cool! This one is Bright orangeish gold colored and very appealing to the eye with the Spartan. I feel like these guys have a good shot at sticking around given their wallet handouts at the bitcoin convention and getting their name out there pretty well. They are newer I think but nonetheless a cool collectible to have.

I am actually a big fan of junk silver so I would definitely be up for something like that ! I'm sure some other folks would love trading for those too. Perhaps you can trade the junk silver and one other thing crypto related? No matter how small! Just to keep some of the trade crypto related. Lmk if you would like to make an offer =D

I heard about that somewhere, and while it's interesting it's basically what most wealthy people have done, just not starting with a paper clip.  Think about it: you come into this world without even a stitch of clothing to your name, and anything you acquire between that point and the ol' crematorium at the finish line is the result of trading up in some form or another.  Starting with a paper clip is just braggadocio IMO on the part of whoever did that.

Also yes you're so right haha and whoever accomplished that feat is one heck of a trader!

Hey man, I got your PM and yours is a name I completely forgot about (and please don't take offense to that--there are a lot of people who've come and gone in the past few years, and it's easy to forget someone if all you have to remember them by is a username and some online interactions).  Thanks for directing me to this thread.

I'm not into patches, but is that some kind of card-style HW wallet inside the box or is it just the box?  I've never heard of Arculus before, and I've sort of gotten interested in collecting cheap HW wallets that might not be around for a long time, given how many of them there are and how stiff the competition is.  

But even if there's a wallet inside the Arculus box, I'm afraid I wouldn't have much to trade unless you'd like some 90% junk silver.  If so, perhaps we could strike a deal.

I like the idea of "trading up" but have never been good at haggling, and I usually end up leaving money on the table whenever I trade something (which is rare and probably a good thing).

Nope, you're getting this same one! I'm already sending you two of those and one of these patches among some other swag just because you were the one who told me about this forum in the first place and since you helped me with that pokemon auction. You should open one for the collection and use the other to trade for something else. I'm pumped for that Alpen coin btw!!

You're sending me a different color of this card right? I will try and dig something up to trade. 

That's awesome. I love that story of the red paper clip up to a house btw.

Anyways.... Lets trade!!! Anyone, anyone..... Bueller???

YES SIR. Thank you for the shout out Mbitr. It has been fun so far, but kinda hit a lull recently.
Always open to trade!
Good luck with your trades.

Geo

Thank you Sir! Appreciate the well wishes. Best of luck to you in your endeavors as well!

Sorry - forgot to add - Good Luck with your mission 

Ah yes! That would be the one, I'm not sure why I thought he made it to a cas coin but hey even so looks like he's had some fun! I hope he does too =D

Hasn’t made it to a cas coin ….yet
Hopefully soon

Hey Guys,

I am interested in partaking in the "trade up challenge"! have seen this done before on the forum, I'm not sure who did it but It was inspiring to me. I am and have always been obsessed with trade and barter. Off the forum its my preferred method of acquiring new interesting things w/ my IG coin page, mainly because its just so much fun and I like using what I have to expand my collection further.

I want to trade and trade and trade again and work my way up to something really awesome. That is sort of the idea. When I saw somebody did it with a bitcoin sticker and traded his way up to some Casacious graded coin or something like that it was pretty cool! I got one of these patches from the Guns N Bitcoin conference, and this sealed Arculus card box from the BTC2022 Miami conf that should do well as an initial trade offering. (ITO? lol).  


   

If any of you are interested in making the first trade with me please let me know what you have and feel free to post pics and barter directly on this thread! Or you can PM me directly with your offer but I will be posting all results of trades back in here anyhow (I am completely fine if you wish to remain anonymous). I want everything to be public and in sight so that everyone can see what I end up with. When I saw this done it was just so cool to see how they went from a sticker to a crazy awesome crypto collectible. My intent is not to sell for profit but to add to my collection that I will one day pass on to my children. They have no idea what fun they are in for!

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. Please feel free to forward this over to anyone who may be interested I'm looking forward to seeing what you all have to trade. Happy HODLING!

Cheers,

TREAD93

Update/FYI: I have 5 sets of these available for trade btw! So I will be accepting 5 different offers for 5 sealed Arculus wallets and 5 of the patches and posting pics of each of the trades once completed.

P.s.
