I've got pre-order number #1674 from The first 15 minutes of sales which is the 19th pre-order by order number(ASIC orders started at 1655), and the 2nd publicly known order of BFL ASIC singles based on this list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89685.0;topicseen (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89685.0;topicseen). I'm selling these because of the GLBSE closing which is the cause of me closing down my mining project located here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84192.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84192.0). At this time I have at least 4 and at most 5 singles pre-orders to sell out of the 8 that I ordered.

Bidding will start at USD $1300, please bid in US Dollars. Bidding will end when one of these 3 conditions are met:

• December 2nd 2012 at 11:59:59 forum time based on timestamp of the bid posts
• 5 bids of $3000 for each single have been reached
• If the singles ship before Dec 2nd and I get shipping/tracking info (I will announce the bidding will end midnight the following day giving 24-36 hours notice)

If one person is the highest bidder for all 5 and BFL agrees to it, then I will split the order with them and have them shipped direct(I've already emailed BFL to see if this is possible). For an individual winner, the state of the FPGA Singles used for the upgrade can also be discussed and depends on BFLs decision on splitting the order. If there are multiple winners then I will cover Priority USPS shipping, or allow for further shipping arrangements to be made at the winners expense.

When the auction expires, then the top 4 or 5 bids depending on how many I have confirmed are for sale, will be noted and the forum member(s) who made the bid(s) will be contacted. Payment will be expected in bitcoins within 48 hours of winning the auction. Shipping will be within 24 hours of me receiving the ASICs from BFL if splitting the order can't happen.

Please bid in the following format:


Edit: just got word that BFL will not split an order to ship it multiple places, so I did a strike-through of that option in the original listing

Qty: 5, Bid USD$1300 ea.

Just remember everyone, if the bid is not exactly it will not be accepted. :P

No, this is not a repeat of what that moron did a couple months ago with the pirate bet. I did chuckle a bit when I saw your post though.

I'm just trying to make it clear how many people are bidding on, and how much for each BFL Single ASIC upgrade they are bidding. I don't want someone coming back claiming they won 5 Singles for $1300 total.

Qty: 5, Bid USD$1350 ea. 

Sounds like should be in auctions? as your not selling for a firm price?

Excellent point. When I looked in auctions, there doesn't seem to be any computer hardware listed. Also, several others seem to have a very similar listing to this selling pre-orders at a non-fixed price. If a mod wants to move it, I have no issue with that though.

Yeah you should move this to the auctions subforum. Post editing is disabled in this subforum, preventing people from retracting their bids.

1) Where will you ship from?

2) It seems your pre-order is an upgrade. BFL said that before shipping out SCs to upgrading customers, they will wait to receive either the FPGAs, or a temporary coin deposit. Which will you do? This affects delivery speed, hence the value of your auction.

1) I'll ship from Virginia 22153. I'll use USPS priority mail, or whatever the winner feels like paying for. Local pickup is also an option.

2) BFL also said they would contact upgrade customers a week before their orders are ready. I plan to ship my units back once I receive this 1 week notice. I will also be using expedited shipping from BFL to me. https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showthread.php/116-Trade-Ins-Notice-of-sending-back-FPGA-Singles?p=2151&viewfull=1#post2151 (https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showthread.php/116-Trade-Ins-Notice-of-sending-back-FPGA-Singles?p=2151&viewfull=1#post2151)

I have multiple Single SCs in pre-order, pretty early in the queue, but not as first in line as yours, so I'll bid on one.

Qty: 1, Bid USD$1450 ea.

There is still some Single?

 :-X

Qty: 1, Bid USD$1450 ea.

1 week left.
Current state of the auction:
2 ASICs are going for $1450 each
3 ASICs are going for $1350 each

Qty: 5, Bid USD $1470 ea.

only 20 minutes left

Qty: 1, Bid USD$1500 ea.

The auction is over. Thanks to all that bid, the winners have been contacted.

Aw that sucks, so much for sniping. Would have went 1480 on one.  :P

$1k USD profit off 5 BFL single ASICs, best ROI yet I believe  ;D

Just what I like to see, big miner's overpaying with investor money.  Imagine all the purchases you don't see, keep it up.
