Title: [WTB] S5 Antminers | $200 USD OBO
Post by: lightlord on March 28, 2015, 12:16:26 AM
I am looking to buy Antminer s5's. If you really need the money, you came to the right place.
I am looking for a ~120 day target ROI. Each S5 generates $3 USD per Day. That would be $90 USD per Month
However with electricity costs of $42.48 USD, I am looking at $47.52 USD per month profit.
47.52*4= 190 USD for 120 days.

I am offering $200 USD for each s5 Antminer, if you want to sell, you can contact me by PM.
Or if you have any miners, calculate to 10 Cent per kilowatt, if your price targets 120 day ROI or better, I'll consider buying
your miner.

Do consider I am taking no difficulty adjustments into this equation. In reality it take much longer.

Can I sell some to you for $150? I feel too guilty selling for such gross profit @ $200.  ::)

The only miners you can get ultra cheap are the old and inefficient ones. The S5 is in high demand right now because its the most efficient miner out there.


And the only way you can use the ultra cheap and inefficient miners is if you're electricity rate is cheap, which yours isn't. So you are out of luck.



You are better off buying and holding the coin.

AntMiner S5 batch 5 is sold out on Bitmain's site and Amazon has them for $519; ebay still has a few for $489.

Since your electricity is so expensive, I would avoid buying any miners because chances are SLIM that you will make any profit with it. In one week the difficulty will jump 10%.

+1 - your price point aint gonna happen, and with your power price, you'll be likely to not ever ROI at the current btc value at the price you'll end up paying.

If you have too many offers to take S5s off people's hands let me know and I can help move those for ya  :o

Seriously though, I do not think you are anywhere close to what people want for S5 or any current gen miner.
They are way overpriced at the moment. Mainly due to SPtech not having any SP20 stock and BITMAIN taking advantage of the 'home-miner', so the guys who did buy in bulk or currently buying in bulk are still paying $330 + freight at the least. That is the best deal I have heard from a 'larger miner' meaning he ordered over 500, but not the 1600. He told me he isn't spending any more on current gen because even with his 'cheap' hydro power and hosting that investing more than that at this time will disrupt his cash flow enough to where he 'might' be in a bind for an early order on next gen.

That makes sense to me and I am a n00b miner with a small home lot mix of SP20s, S3s, and S4s.

By the way, maybe you are an experienced guy, but to me, buying used SP20s is the way to go if you can find them. The S5s do not receive the same level of attention, especially if you have an issue. The SPTech people are top shelf and they work hard while actually addressing concerns of all sorts.
