On: Bitmit - Buy and sell goods with Bitcoin

[lightweb]

From Wikipedia: "According to a Newsweek story, all 400,000 printed copies were recalled for 'pulping', except for one, locked away in a vault at News Corp.[6] One copy did show up on eBay on January 15, 2007, with a starting bid of $1500, and sold for over $65,000 fueling speculation about whether News Corp. was able to destroy all printed copies.[citation needed] James Wolcott of Vanity Fair obtained a "pristine hardcover" copy of the book for a review published in January 2007.[7]"

This is quite an interesting auction here, considering the circumstances.

If real, I wonder if someone is interested in selling via bitcoin for anonymity. Or a marketing stunt...

[rmc → Gustomaximus]

Or it's a fake. And since bitcoin has no chargebacks (which many in the bitcoin community think is great!) the customer is left out of pocket with no recourse.

Caveat Emptor.

Neither does cash. Bitcoin replaces currency, not credit.

Usually, when you pay in cash you have physical access to your future purchase and can detect obvious scams.

And you usually know physically where the seller is, or know what they look like.

This is the worst of both worlds!

I'm pretty sure this site offers escrow, so nobody is going to lose their bitcoins just like that...

There is a gmail address in the listing if anyone has any questions so I'm not so sure...

Did a reverse image search of that picture and I don't find it anywhere else. So it isn't obviously fake.
