Yes, someone in china probably pirated their design and then beat them to the punch. 

Actually it is probably a BFL 832 MHash single being sold by someone without a clue.

Oh wait.. no - looking at it again - Yup!  It's a scam!

Apparently you have to be a member of ebay to report scams.

Maybe the bidders know it's a scam, and they are just trolling the submitter, knowing they won't have to go through with the purchase anyway.

Actually, are there any two people on this board willing to bounce it back and forth to $1million or so?

Hmmm, interesting, so I can buy one for less than what it costs???

haha, I'm tempted to try.. since after all I'd be protected by the faults of fiat currency through Paypal anyway...

worth a gamble?

Now there is someone trying to sell a pre-order though it is labeled properly as such.

Ya, I message them asking what date they pre-ordered.

Also, they are located in France, so I'm not sure I'd want to wait the 2 months it would take for BFL to ship to them, and then have it shipped to me through customs...

Positive Feedback (last 12 months): 100%

Someone informed me of a possibility that people actually sell ebay accounts with good feedback.  Granted that could be false, and may not apply to this situation; however, it's been added to my things to watch out for when it comes to ebay/fiat dealings...

Yeah, 27.5Th doesn't sound right. Vircurex has over 40Th/s posted atm and allchains.info has around 35Th posted. The real number lies somewhere in there, though obviously it changes every second.

As to the pool stats BTCGuild is here:

http://www.btcguild.com/index.php?page=rankings

Obviously the top miner is ASICMiner.

There are references to ozco.in seeing some large miners moving in on the ASICMiner thread and elsewhere and someone said Eligius just got a large miner or miners added recently. This move to ASICs is happening. You can also monitor sales of second hand GPUs to get a feel.

So what is a first batch (may-june) BFL Single SC preorder worth?  He was asking $5k which seems high but not I would imagine more then $2.5k.

I won't sell mine for less than $5k...

Perhaps more giving the latest price jumps...

For me $4500 would tempt me to sell. If delivered in march it would mine $4500 pretty quickly but if delivered later it might take a while to get there.

I forgot that was my price at $25... almost sold mine for $5k last night, until I realized I needed to update for today's price... so now I should be saying nothing less than $8,000!
