Just a "testing the waters" post to see if anyone is interested in buying a bunch of S5s. I'm not sure what to ask for them but they'll clearly have to be cheaper on a per TH basis than Bitmains "5 day shipping" S7 batch. So I'm thinking of a price point around the $200 mark / per TH. I'm not in a super huge rush to sell but I'm open to offers either here or via PM.

Hosting them for you is also an option and in fact customer looking to host them take precedence over those that want them shipped out (cause it all remains in house and it would make the transaction super quick and smooth).

For hosting fees see the link in my signature.

--edit--

My bad guys, I think I may have rushed into this. I did some further calculations and it seems it may not make sense to liquidate these in bulk just yet given my running costs.

I will revisit this thread in a month and likely just open a new one.

Interested in 10 shipped to 17970 let me know the price..

Cool, I'll give you a shipping quote sometime later on tonight. Do you have a preferred carrier?

I would buy 5-10 - zip code 37179

And I would like to see if you could host them, if not I can take them also

$25.55 CAD with Canada Post for 4 business days Express - delivery confirmation included. $25.55 CAD is $18.51 USD. I used "11.8 x 5.4 x 6.1 inches" and 6.6 lbs as the dimension/weight info.

Certainly can hosted as they currently running now right now. That would make the deal pretty quick and painless. For hosting I can do $65 CAD a month for a 3 month term pre-paid term.

As for actual shipping, the cost should be $26.86 CAD - $19.46 USD

I'm going to be heading out in 5 minutes guys, but I'll be near a computer around midnight EST.

I would be interested in 2 or 3. What's ground shipping to 52722?

I would probably be interested in a few if you have any left after all the other interested parties.

Interested in 20 S5's, PM sent

Ok, so back near a computer. Give me half an hour to respond to all your PMs.

How much would it be for 10 hosted a month instead of shipping them right now?

Hosting varies according to what term you go for. I typically offer people the 6 month rate if they go for the 3 month pre-paid option, so the price would be $65 CAD per 1 kwH/month. 10 of these is 5.5 kw thus $1072.50 CAD for 3 months hosting.

Hmmm, I did a bit more calculations and I believe I jumped the gun a bit and factoring in my running costs I may have underpriced these by a bit more than I should've.

Assuming i buy 1 s5. With the current difficulty, without power cost, i'll be making $2.64 per hour. You are asking 3.23$ for every hour of hosting..
(edit: per day, not per hour)
Thats not profitable at all..
(EDIT AGAIN "wrong calculations"

But the s5, yes, you sell them very cheap..

wrong-with 10 of them you would generate $790 of btc/month and electricity would cost you $247/month - so you would net about $500/month at the current difficulty. So for one you would net profit $50/month

So if I pay 3 months in advance I get 6 months altogether?

No, you prepay for 3 months and you get the price from 6 months plan..

Yes he is right. We offer this deal to pretty much all our hosting clients lol. It's basically the same 6 month rate without the longer commitment period.

Ok, so here is the deal guys, I think I'm going to keep these running for 1 more month and re-open the thread at that point. My friend sold a few of his but into hosting. If he needs some more cash and is willing to sell some more I will post here and let you all know.

Sorry for getting your hopes up guys lol.

Interested. Please pm me / keep me on the list when you relist.

Sounds good. I will let you know.
