If you're in Canada, i could sell you one or two. Also the proper board to post this is; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0 so you can move your own thread there or whatever.

If it's just for fun, nothing beats the Gekkoscience compac stick. Sorry I just have this bad picture:

Sorry to insist on it, but my advice is that you don't buy anything more expensive than one or two compac sticks if you're really into it for fun only. Almost anything else you buy will have Cost greater than Profit+Fun. The compac is the most efficient one and also allows you to tweak the voltage settings to increase the hashrate. If you just buy one stick, even if it's more expensive in europe, you won't lose a lot of money compared to buying a larger rig that is either obsolete now or soon (unless you've got free electricity).

EU is going to be hard on getting cheap hardware.... due to VAT it will always be more expensive.  Just the way it is.

As far as cheapest normally forum on this site is.  Just be careful as you might need escrow on some deals within it.

Looks like to me EU has more stickminers (just looking on amazon with their fancy little 8+ gh bitfury sticks). I kind of wish I lived in the EU now.. it must be a great place for (some) stickminers. Here in the US all you have are gekkos, overpriced bitfury sticks, overpriced antminer sticks, and overpriced block erupter sticks.

I ordered from the EU dealer on compacs he was very nice.  They are higher in the EU.   But he was great I wanted one in US as I had collected a set of compacs.  He got it to me. 

Stickminers if your going with anything else then Compacs it really does not make much sense.  And know that you likely will not ROI they are for fun and lotto mining.

What I would do is try to find a deal on a S3 don't know if sub 100.... but they are losing value.  For the money a S3 in that area.... is what I would look for.  And you would have to have VERY cheap electricity.

Depends. Resellers can go from super overpriced to a mere 20 euros. These guys are resellers and sell the latest (and last) batch of gekkos. https://www.bitshopper.de/shop/sha-256-miner/usb-miner-bitcoin/gekkoscience-compac/

Actually, bitshopper is a licensed EU manufacturer. He builds and sells, rather than buys and resells.

Sorry! Thanks for correcting me. Haven't checked the info about gekkos for a while. I remembered that they resold, but in reality they build.

I bought one of them off of him event though I'm in US.  I wanted to complete my set.   He was very nice to work with, and went above and beyond to find a shipping option that did not cost a fortune.

It is a little higher with being EU.  But still a great stick miner if you need one.
