Title: WTS - Butterfly Labs Jalepeno Pre Orders (1 unit sold + update)
Post by: michaelmclees on September 29, 2012, 05:51:11 PM
Order #6341* for 1 Jalepeno - 15BTC   send to 1EspdyKARvSqKpW8kEC6vBPhRJFRmwSt1s  (SOLD)

Order #6637 for 2 Jalepenos - 29BTC  send to 1FZgwJXeqF7EsSs3vrBikWoSZxj14e29Sh

Order #6714 for 2 Jalepenos - 29BTC  send to 1JJYvRrDntsozMjuUXybH5UmGzbMLCk8Rw

After payment, I will have Butterfly Labs replace my order information with your own, so instead of sending to me, they will send to you.

I paid for US shipping, so if you're not in the US, my order may not cover your shipping.

Or make me an offer in PM.

* edit

It looks like BFL will not replace shipping info.  Make an offer for me to ship unopened whatever they send me, whenever they send it.  They have stated that they can confirm orders and they'll be able to confirm that I have these orders.

* edit

was 6314, transposed 4 and 1.

* edit

10-3-12 - I have put in an email inquiring about an upgrade 4 of my orders to the Little SC.  BFL_Jody on the Butterfly Labs Portal has stated that if you have orders for 4 or more Jalepenos, for some additional BTC (I'm guessing about $50 worth), the orders can be upgraded to a Little Single while keeping your place in line.

Offer - Buy the remaining 2 orders of 4 Jalepenos (#6637 and #6714) for 55 BTC and I will continue pursuing the upgrade for you.  I will even cover the cost of completing the upgrade up to 5 BTC.

* edit

10-5-12 - Having not received any offers on the remaining 4 Jalapenos, I have upgraded them to a Little Single with Butterfly Labs.  Because the opportunity I was hoping to capitalize on has passed, I will simply keep the Little Single when it arrives and mine with it myself.

Edd will get the remaining Jalapeno when it arrives.

I'm now locking this thread.

I thought BFL wouldn't change preorder shipping information? Can someone verify this?

Anyway, PM sent.

Butterfly labs WILL NOT change the shipping information on orders. Be careful with that.


On that note, are you willing to deal with escrow?

Actually, you're correct.  I could've sworn that they said they would, but I was misremembering.  I can't do escrow because I need the funds now.

I have history here so perhaps we can make an arrangement for a lower price and I will ship to you as soon as I get them.

I would have to call in to confirm these orders but consider me interested. Do you have dates of when the orders were put in along with some screen shots?


Title: Re: WTS - Butterfly Labs Jalepeno Pre Orders
Post by: BitcoinINV on September 29, 2012, 06:44:50 PM
buy a pre-order to a product that is not released or seen. In a different persons name and shipped to them.
Anyone else take it from here how many places this could go wrong for the buyer?
Good luck all involved

I'll have screen shots later today.

Order dates are August 27th, 28th, and 29th, respectively.

* looking back, the order dates were the 27th, 29th, and 30th.  The list here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89685.0 is where I got the initial info.

record a video of your screen loading and post that unlisted to youtube would be best

It is a gmail address.  BFL emails to me didn't specify quantity.  The details of the order would be confirmed with BFL.

I'd call BFL to confirm. Safest bet.  The email in the screenshot is their standard confirmation email after placing the order. HOWEVER, if the buyer doesn't complete the Paypal or BitPay transaction this email is still sent.  AND a second email is sent if the buyer is paying via Wire Transfer.

IMO this is not a valid means of showing proof of said orders. Just call BFL to confirm.

I paid with BTC so I didn't get any other e-mails.  I agree that calling BFL is really the only way to confirm.

Well, I can't answer that one, all I can do is let interested parties know that if you turn out to not be trustworthy, they'll have at least one person they can ask to go knock on your door and say, "Hey, Mike, what's going on?"

Now the question is, am I trustworthy or are we in cahoots?

Haha.  Yeah.  The problem is there is no 100% trust here or really anywhere.  There's always a little bit of a gamble.  But tell me, I've bought a couple things from you in person, and from your experience, if I say I'll do something, do you think I will I do it?

No.  It is in response to their raffle they're holding.  See this...

That doesn't make any sense for me. I have to trust you and BFL. Why not just ask a higher price?

Just purchased order #6341.

Michael, let me know when it arrives and I can pick it up or you can drop it off at my house.

For what it's worth, I understand the desire to use escrow and probably would have requested it too if Michael didn't live nearby.

Confirmed.

I understand the desire to use escrow as well.  Hell, I would have used escrow with Butterfly Labs themselves if it were offered, but the reality is I'm looking to do something pretty specific, and it doesn't work if I have to wait on the funds.
