Hmm interesting business tactics.

Offers here to first bid of 1.5btc. Get several offers, so ups the price to 1.6btc.

Posts instead on ebay. Sells for 3000usd within 3 hours of listing. Less 10% ebay and 3% paypal fees, 2610usd. At current exchange rate: ~1.5btc.

Interesting how? He did likely didn't get any offers here, hence the trip to eBay. He did exactly what he told us he was going to do if he didn't get any serious offers at 1.6btc.

Getting fiat from ebay is a much easier transaction that getting bitcoin and having to exchange it. If this guy was selling his coin he likely wanted to divest his bitcoin holdings anyway.

You know, you really come across as a smartass.

He said he would come back to the first 1.5 offer here. Ref quote. He didn't. He sold on ebay for less then he would have made here, especially considering the rocketing BTCUSD rate. Further, your assumption that he wanted to "divest his bitcoin holdings" is baseless at best. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Most of us here buy, sell, and trade physicals without ever touching fiat (beyond paying shipping fees).

I've had 3 offers come in for 1.5. I will propose that first offer of 1.6 will take it. If I don't receive an offer of 1.6 by the end of the day today, it will go to the first 1.5 offer I received, and so on.

A note on the condition - I haven't really tried cleaning / retouching it. There are a few spots on the front of the coin as you can see in the photo, but I figured someone else might be better at cleaning it up than I.
