I will try this again.
This time, no interuptions, no trades - it will sell.
On day 1, I set a price which is higher than I think anyone will want it at.
Each night at 7:30 I will drop the price by a random amount between 4% and 12%.
This should average out to 8%, so I am hoping that it will get the price to something that someone wants fairly soon.
First person to PM that they want the coin at the current price will get it.
Adding scans of the coin now.
Nibbles likes a super sweet die rotation!!!

Don't let Nibbles near your computer or Nibbles might buy it.
I do know there are quite a few people wanting one of these.
Jeff
Announcement coming soon...
Still deciding on a starting price.
Ok.
7:30 here.
Someone suggested a start price of $150 so I will just go with that.
Any nibbles??

I was watching.
Jeff
Gone already?!
No PMs yet.
Price will drop tomorrow at 7:30pm
Now, it is interesting to try and guess what the price will be. PM your estimates to me and I will collate them. Don't put them up here -we don't want to influence the auction.
Jeff
PS. Nibbles says there will be a prize for the nearest guess. Don't know what (s)he has in mind; hope it is not just a carrot or a lettuce! Maybe a chrysanthemum!

Tonights random number will be generated by http://www.roll-dice-online.com/
With settings:
Number of sides: 3
Number of dice to roll: 4
Number of rolls 1
The minimum that 4, 3 sided dice could roll is 1+1+1+1 =4
The maximum that 4, 3 sided dice could roll is 3+3+3+3 = 12
Roll happens in 5 mins.
Waiting, waiting...
Sorry... The site I selected to roll the dice stopped working just now...
I used http://dice.virtuworld.net/ instead
It gave
1 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 9
$150 - 9% gives $136.50
New price is
$136.50
sounds complicated
but it worked for you Oz
pretty quiet
maybe they are all watching those odd errors on ebay
nibbles is around though, to brighten things up and keep you company!!

Can't see any action tonight.
So far keldaw is closest.
More estimates please. And, some half glass full instead of half glass empty guesses please.
Jeff
If you haven't PM'd me an estimate of what you think the final price it is not too late.
Jump in now and do it. Hint; likely to be less than $130.
Jeff
Prize for the closest estimate will be a silver coin. Now we await tonight's price announcement.
Todays roll of the virtual dice is coming up....
3+3+1+3 = 10%
1 step closer....
$136.5 - 10%
New price is
$122.85
I thought I had this worked out but I have no idea sorry so I'll guess $129.30. I'm can't afford to play so I'm just guessin for somethin to do :boredom:
Well there ya go..I was to slow and I was miles out :laugh2:
AJ,
Your guess has been recorded but, you are supposed to PM it to me -don't want to influence the countdown.
Jeff
Hi AJ,
I think Jeff was wanting people to PM him with thier guesses about the final price. - what the price drops to when someone says "I'll buy it for that amount".
edit:
ooops.
Jeff beat me to it!
Correct Ozcoins.
And, if a potential buyer has any sense (s)he will guess an amount around what they might put the hand up for. Win the coin + a prize as well!
Or, maybe not.
Jeff
Oh Ok, I was just guessing todays price..silly me :kez_11:
No worries.
Its all a bit of fun.
OZCOINS a bit of fun , you say ,
I am a nervous wreck , just waiting every day till 7.30 pm to see what happens .. every day I have to take an extra valium.
,, kel ,,
Will be interesting to see what this one finishes at:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2010-50-CENT-ROTATED-UPSET-ERROR-/261198423047?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item3cd0a3a407&_uhb=1#ht_2130wt_1397
Markn,
That one is from "waldo" on here. He posted it in another thread snd a few members posted thst he is good to deal with elsewhere.
I agree it will be interesting what they both end at.
Which one will be the best buy?
Will the prices end up close or far apart?

Given that you are both forum members I hope they both go for a million dollars. It will be very interesting when his price and the one in this thread start to converge.

yea mark , at $ 44 and still 6 days to go , looks like the one on here by ozcoins will go a lot quicker then the ebay one .. ,, kel ,,
Yeah,
I thought i'd throw it on Ebay as one hasnt' sold on there for a while. It will give us a good indication on price.
I'd be more than happy for them to sell for a million $$$

SOLD!
I have recieved a PM and the rotated 50c is going off to a good home.
woo! they go for that much, yay they are better than the incused 50c, tho I have probably found 2 or 3 incused but only have the one rotated that would make sense. one to watch for the future.
well done Ozcoins!!
Nibbles was happy to be a part of your auction!

Thanks robbiegal (and Nibbles).
I hope it was amusing for everyone.
I thought that having the price drop somewhat random would make it more worth checking in to see what was happening as well as stop a situation where 2 people know they want it after the next drop (because they know what the price will be) and it just becomes a race to respond first.
I think it was fun
like a game of chess
folks just waiting for the right move
the dice roll for the nightly estimate drop was pretty groovy too as that was variable
Sometimes, I go to a house auction that does that (think that I said it before) and funny enough, once it gets going with interest, it can then go back up - very entertaining
congratulations on the sale - no seller or PayPal fees - even better!
that's what I like about it to , no fees for ebay or paypal , but don't tell um ,or they will find a way to get a bit some how ,.. ,, kel ,,
So, $84.20 it is.
I wrote my guess on the list first and was closest at $86. However, any reasonable set of rules for the prize would preclude me.
Keldaw was next closest at $93.00. So, Kel please PM me with your mailing details and I will slip you a 1961 shilling and a 1954 florin that I found still circulating recently.
Jeff
boy o boy , what a thrill that is to me , not even a chook raffle has ever come my way , I am truly over joyed with the results and I wish to thank the orginazer of the competition , jeff for the extra prize offered and to every body else who put in their estimates in too
thank you all so very much .. ,, kel ,,
Coin had been mailed today - along with a different type of error coin that I had already promised to the buyer.
