It certainly seems that way recently :-\.

Well, the new chip seems to be a huge improvement. I mean 0.51 watts to 0.40 watts is good but 0.51 watts to 0.21 is biiiig. I can understand why.

Yep, and the funny thing is that buyers know this and they're likely going to push the price of old gear down - I know I am! If no good deals can be had on old gen gear then it's just better to wait for bitmain to release their 0.21w/gh gear.

I am selling because my lease on my mining facility is expiring soon and the summer heat has been causing me to shut off all my older gen mining gear so instead of it sitting off id rather sell to someone who can put them to use before they are worth nothing

Its unfortunate because as a more or less aware buyer, i'm a bit wary of paying even something like 300USD, because depending on the volume the price could plummet soon.

If he would be willing to sell below $300 (doubt it) I'd buy a few.

I think we will see that when the S7 is actually released and the larger push to move old units happens, until then around 350$ is going to probably be optimum.

$350 offers I would Accept $300 is not a realistic offer until after the S7 is released and who knows when that will actually be you could mine for 3-4 months with these before that happens. And you can no longer buy them direct from bitmain so second hand sale is the only way to go it is still one of the most efficient miners available right now short of an S5+

I might be in a bit, I currently have some funds in escrow and it looks like the guy isn't shipping. If he doesn't I will probably be buying one.

Ok let me know I have more then 10 even though I only listed 10 for sale

Currently, 350USD is more in BTC than what i paid last month for a S5 from Bitmain so i find it pretty worrisome to make this purchase. However if the BTC price become more sensical, i might be interested in picking up one or two, depending, sometime during next month.

Shipping to Canada should be much less prohibitive than when we considered the S3s.

understood BTC price is currently down since bitmain closed sales of his second hand batches, but at this point he has not hardware for sale and I expect there wont be anything listed for at least 1-2 months

That is quite likely. BTC went even further down, making almost any ASIC purchase an uncertain venture now. People locally even started to list their stuff on local private adds. When people start dumping their ASICs, hmm. It will be time to buy soon. :)

If you mine and hold BTC with those S5s, it might be possible to get their full value if the price go up afterward but thats a bit too speculative for me.

But for now i'm watching this thread for price ;)

BTC price will rebound you cant get discouraged just because of a few down days were all here for the long haul. I purchased more bitcoin yesterday I am already up $15 a coin since my buy

Indeed, i merely mean, with the S5 price down and not just BTC, if i wait for BTC to rebound before buying, it will cost me less BTC, thus shorter BTC roi. My train of thoughts anyways.

we are all in this because we believe BTC will go up profits at current hardware efficiency and BTC price are minimal its the long term bet nto so different then the stock market right now times its low is time to buy in and hold. I am perfectly fine running these S5's till they burn out I was just trying to make some room for more gear and right now its very hot in my farm once things cool down ill be back into hardware heavy again

Nothing to get until 30 days from now when difficulty goes up so having now has its benefits to some

Not when you factor in the higher running costs of the S5s vs the 0.2x w/gh of the S7. Gear on the forum is now ridiculously overpriced. Maybe once the S7s ship buyers will come to their senses once they realize that now their gear have further depreciated.

I don't think so. The only time when miner gear is a "great deal" is when the difficulty is skyrocketing or when the BTC price is tanking and people are panicking and selling their gear for next to nothing.
