Where do you ship from?

Hi,

We ship from the US.

Currently we only have 2 remaining coins from this limited series.

Current price is $1350

Current BTC rate (Bitstamp rate) : 5BTC

Payment address : 1Kf74Ac1s6fj3DYhN5U334t5A3rZyWQMaC

These really are a good investment, as with Casascius coins the price always increases as soon as availability ends.

After payment please pm me your full shipping info,

Thanks,

CryptoImperator



So basically he made a similar username and tried to pass it off as real. Expecting me to send 5 btc to his btc address.

Good catch. He's already been marked as scammer. Wink
