Title: [WTB] BFL FPGA Singles (2-3) US only
Post by: dullmoment on March 01, 2013, 02:55:47 PM
I am looking to buy 2-3 working BFL FPGA Singles. 
I prefer Paypal, I am verified!  I am also open to the idea of using escrow.

If it is a good deal I may be interested in a Modminer as well. 

Let me know what you got!

Have a great day!

Sorry, but it is very uncommon to trade with paypal here. I sincerely doubt anyone will be interested in using such methods of monetary transfer.

Thanks for the heads up.  I am willing to work with the seller.  If it is in BTC then I will want to use an escrow for the sale.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I do free escrow whenever I'm asked. Good luck buying!

Given this is the third thread I'm posting in, I feel a bidding war coming...

I have 7 singles up & running and can probably sell some.  My price would be $900-$1,000 depending on how many people PM me this week.

Let me know if I'm way off base, or if you're interested.

I've done this before (see the honest trader forum). 

I'm also interested in selling my pre-orders for BFL, but those are very expensive... although no one seems to be interested in that at the moment.

I completely understand the idea that the BFL singles are worth that to you.  On the boards in recent months the BFL singles have been selling between $425-$560 shipped.   What’s agreed upon in PM is hare to gather, though.  It’s hard to tell with the current increase in difficulty what the value will be but I suspect it will cause a decrease in price.  If the person selling wanted to continue mining they would use it as an upgrade trade in with BFL.  The value for me is I can test out mining with a single or two and still upgrade to the new BFL ASIC Single with the trade in discount.  Push the price too high and it does not make sense to buy your single vs. just preordering from BFL.  If your price falls more in line with the current going price, PM me and we can figure it out.  Thanks for replying either way it works out.

I believe the Single has a trade-in value of $600 at BFL, so why would someone sell it for less than that..?

Paying $900-$1000 also sounds somewhat unreasonable, I would say a fair price is between $675-$775..

If they wanted to trade it in the value would be $600 but you still need to pay $600+ to get the new device.  If the person is selling their BFL FPGA Single they aren’t interested in the trade.  There was an auction at the beginning of Feb. that a BFL FPGA single sold for $425.  Just a few posts below this someone sold 17 singles for $550 each.  That is where I am pulling the current price from, the high water mark I have seen recently is $559 shipped. 

In the end the price will be what the buyer and seller agree too.
