$600 each. price is firm. free USA ship if you buy them all. will ship international if you pay the shipping.

chicago cash pickup preferred. coins if you go first. no escrow for these. (sorry)

i might throw them on ebay one at a time. $650 for ebay sales. no paypal unless bought on ebay.

seven 6 foot usb cables and a 13 port usb hub included for free if you buy them all.

power adapters are included. i will post a pic tonight with user name and time stamp.

PM'd.  These aren't worth $600 anymore. Even with the trade in, you'll lose out waiting if you plan on upgrading.  ASICs upgraded now probably won't be shipped until maybe September. Might as well put your money into BTC and ride the wave.

LOL - i find it funny you PM me an offer then talk shit when i turn you down. somebodys butt hurts.   :D

please dont waste my time or start thread crapping. grow up. give me what im asking or move on. thank you.

300 each!

locked

i changed my mind. go ahead and post whatever you want. i simply will not respond to silly people. my price and terms are non negotiable.

$301 for one and I live in Chicago.  Cash in person.

I actually believe this is a purchase I might regret, so if you want it jump on it.

I'll take them all for 305 each and I'll donate 250CAD in your name to a charity of your choice.

hmm, that offer actually appeals to me. i like giving away my money for a good cause. i might consider something like this. keep trying.

Why no escrow? 

not comfortable with it. would rather sell local or ebay.

rockso, your attitude will not increase the likely hood of you getting sales, your the one acting immauture here.
Your offer isn't reasonable. Why on Earth would anyone pay $600 for BFL FPGA, when I can go out and pay $600
for a 30 GH ASIC mining unit.

You may say I could mine for 3 months then ship them in, but I think its more profitable to turn them in now,
because you would get ASIC sooner, then turning them in 3 months later, and getting asic miners another 2 months later.
Paying $599 Now to get an ASIC miner therefore would be a better choice then buying your FPGA units.

Anyone who buys these are insane or out of their mind.

At most I would see $500 cash per one, as the incentive to receive them, then ship them out for an exchange
to profit $50 or so, and even so I don't think its worth it.

I would at most offer $400 per one. Highest possible offer I see is $500

what attitude? i can ask whatever i want. if you dont like my price why waste your time bothering me?

have you ever heard the saying if you dont have nothing nice to say dont say anything at all?

I'll say what ever the heck I want (Within reason), and telling others others to stfu, just humiliates your position.
If you can't withstand criticizing or can't take in the facts, its you that has to move on, and find some other place. At this moment its best you just lock it, let it fall down, its really you that should move on.

i never told anybody to stfu. i have been polite. i even said please and thank you. i can tell you dont want to be nice and wish to start a fight. i will not waste my time with people like you. i will just ignore you. have fun posting.

BTC GUY, is that you?  :)

This guy sound like a SCAMMER. 

There is a notorious Scammer from Chicago how keeps popping into irc.

wow   ???

Wow what?  It is pretty obvious. 

you guys are really mean. i dont even want to respond to half of you. why are you calling me a scammer? i havent done anything wrong or said anything disrespectful. im offering local face to face sales. i posted pic with time stamp and you guys just keep throwing punches at me. i dont get it. why are you treating me this way?

Because you are BTC GUY and have scammed a lot of people.  Pay them back.

im NOT btcguy. stop pointing your finger at me. your accusing the wrong guy.

Your post on this account selling a HIS 6990.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133580.msg1527679#msg1527679

You say sold on ebay which you did:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIS-ATI-AMD-Radeon-HD-6990-4-GB-GDDR5-SDRAM-PCI-Express-x16-Graphics-/111011495753?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item19d8ccff49

Under the same account RETROPCDOS that is confirmed to be one of the scammer accounts here on the forum. 

You claim to be poor and not have the money to pay people back but you have a huge ebay history of selling recently and you have 7 singles which over time you have sold to multiple people and not delivered. 

Where can you get a  30GH/s ASIC mining unit for $600 any price?

unlocked, keep talking.

also, if anybody is serious about buying these singles i am serious about selling them to you.

that is all. you may continue with your witch hunt.

The MO of BTC_GUY is simple and quite effective here.  Do some moderate trades and actually complete them.  Then do some bigger stuff or a large number of medium trades at once and scam em.  He never uses escrow.  And he has scammed many people over thousands of dollars.

When he scammed me for $250
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102351.0

I think there is more but three should be enough.

your wrong about me.

You are really honest and you didn't mean to scam everyone?

Ill offer 250 for 1, The other half will be donated for a good cause. (Going back to my pocket)

Do you deny you are retropcdos?
Simple question.
Yes or No.

It's the avatar.

LOL - i actually thought about that. that clown did look really menacing. it wasnt a reflection of myself. it was rockso the rock and roll clown. people dont seem to like clowns for some reason. i blame that move IT. this pic suits me better. it reminds me of the good times and the bad times. one day your laughing the next your crying. thats life.

Ignoring the question?


No.. it's not the avatar.

Can I come by your place and see the units hashing before buying them?

I'm Chicago local, where do we meet..?

He will not answer the question, as it is him, a known scammer.

we can meet at mcdonalds. bring a laptop and you can see them working before you buy.

Are you RETROPCDOS/BTC_GUY, yes or no. 

Since he's refused to answer, I'll just leave this here:

rockso/retropcdos/BTCGuy's posting with his pic of his BFLs sitting on a glass table with metal frame and floor tile visible underneath.
Click the pics for larger "CSI" versions  ;D

Anyone dealing with rockso should be well aware that they are dealing with a known scammer. No amount of hardware is worth it imho.

im not retropcdos either. if i was why are you guys concerned? look at his feedback.

So you have his table, floor, location, handwriting, writing style etc but you are not him?

Whatever.

you are not seeing everything. you are only seeing a table and you are assuming we are the same person. your wrong.

I agree! The only proof is an identical table resting on a similar hardwood floor, of which the boards runs in the same direction. Could be any house in Chicago or, for that matter, anywhere else in the world.

Has anybody here ever met BTC_GUY in person? Since rockso claims he's not RetroPCDOS, and I may have a pic of RetroPCDOS, perhaps we can put this issue to rest.

Let's play!

~Bruno K~

It's just a table. How does that table make me btcguy? How does that table make me retropcdos? How does that table make retropcdos btcguy? Did btcguy post a pic of that table?

Checkmate. You guys lost this fight. Move on folks.

Hey, I'm on your side! I'm probably the only guy here willing to clear your name.

You are? Are you being serious or sarcastic? I really can't tell. You guys play too much.

Trust me! Besides, if I wasn't on your side I would ask what are the odds of two different guys in Chicago having the same table, same floor, and both affiliated with Bitcoin.

Then I would ask what are the odds of two tables having randomly designed tiles that match. And even if the individual tiles were stamped in X quantities, what are the odds the installers at the plant placed the tiles in exactly the same position. Honestly, the latter question could be done mathematically knowing the number of tiles, but two perfectly identical tables in Chicago resting on identical floors own by a Bitcoiner is what I would ask what are the odds if I wasn't on your side.

Also, I would be demanding that theymos give you the scammer tag immediately given the above, but since I'm on your side--trust me--I wouldn't do that.

Thank you for playing.

How stupid does a scammer have to be to get caught with yet another fake name?
 ;D ;D ;D

Wait, what! What'd I miss? You're not sayin'...? How'd this get passed me?

theymos!!!

these are still for sale. i will accept escrow. one at a time. i would like maged to act as escrow. if you want to wait till i refund the buyers i burned that is fine. i am just announcing my intentions.

Login on the wrong account?

nope, i came out the closet. i will be refunding the people i burned and hopefully theymos will remove my scammer tag. in the mean time i still want to get rid of these. i know nobody trusts me so i have decided to accept escrow.

What a POS.

I wish you will die a horrible death very soon

Kudos to Qbert, and others, on the detective work.  I was semi-interested in this post when it first went up, but I've been following the turn of events since then.  Thank god for the scammer tag on this site.  It's just too bad you can't autotag accounts based on IP or such.  I wonder how many "Rockso" accounts there are out there.

Well BTC_GUY has at least 4.  Rockso and retropcdos are two of his others.  There was another I knew of, would have to do research on that one.

I would like buy your BFL FPGAs with BTC. You send first? Deal?

Holy shit this thread was entertaining.  You guys are jedi sleuths to say the least!

ill buy one for 250$ in BTC via escrow

i think your a bigger POS than me. i dont wish bad things for anybody. even the people who scammed me. i have no hate in me. your full of hate. your uglier than i am.


LOL - no deal.

my price is $600. i will no longer respond to offers. my price and terms are set in stone.

You sold your integrity, he might be "ugly", but there is no such thing as "you"; "you" are no more..

Meet me at Tavern on Rush.

I will pay $550 a piece.

No funny stuff.

Deal?

nobody is perfect. we all have our faults. i may have let greed take over but i have no hate in me. i personally think people with hate in them and wish bad things for others are in a class of their own. one worse than greed. but that is just my opinion. we all see things differently.

what you mean i am no more?

my price is $600. dont waste my time with offers.
i will consider meeting you face to face. if you want to try something funny be prepared for the worst.

i have no fear and nothing to lose.

im not normal.

im going to make this even more interesting. if somebody buys these all the money will go to charity. every dollar. i will get nothing. we will use a different staff member for every single. that staff member will be trusted to make a donation for $600 on their credit card and post a screenshot to prove it. buyer sends coins to staff. i send single to another staff. that staff confirms the single works. single goes to buyer. charity gets donation.

Willingly steals.

Gets caught, gives back what was never his and thinks he deserves not to be called a thief.

THAT LOGIC.

i didnt steal anything. i never got caught. i never said i dont deserve to be called a thief either.

sale of these singles is on hold until me and matthew work out a deal.

dudes i know how it feels like to be scammed but the guy is clearly trying to change, give him a chance

Actually he is just super trolling this board and his victims.  He never had any intention of paying anyone back.  His statements prove that.

I think asking $600 is more than the market will bear, especially now given BFL's uncertain future.

$500-550 was more the ballpark sale price a few months back, when BFL looked more rosy (and thus trade-in options looked attractive).  Given how things look now, even that may be asking too much.

If he actually wants to sell any, I think he will need to come down.

Never got caught? what a twisted mind fck you got there.

Were your mom raped while carrying you?

I now wish your whole fcking family to go to hell. Heck hell probably doesn't accept bastards and their offspring.

This would make me 110% unwilling to meet face to face.  Threatening someone to "be prepared for the worst" tells me that you will go into the meeting on-edge, and ready to lash out at any moment if you thought something was awry.  Anyone in their right mind wouldn't take the risk in meeting with this guy.

The fact that you say you're going to pay back every penny that you swindled and scammed is one thing.  Actually doing that is another.  Verifiable transaction IDs or it didn't happen.

[edit] Knowing now that this guy is a known scammer, and he lied and concealed this fact under the premise of trying to sell more equipment(possibly another scam), why hasn't his Rockso account been labeled as such as well?

+1

Wait, did I just read this correctly?   A guy tries to sell BFL FPGA Singles for way more than it's current value under a different name.  Bitcoinian's sees-through his scam and identity.  The scammer still claims he is neither BTCGUY or RETROPCDOS but finally gives up and still continues on trying to sell the singles?

Then he starts bitching at people complaining about how he's being hated on?  I don't understand that logic.  If a person scams someone, should the scammer expect the victim to show him love and bend over backwards for more buttsex?  As a community, do we side with the scammer by default just because he's telling a sob story?  I think not.  Scammers are like trolls, just worst.

well it looks like you cant trade these in any more since tradeins was just through march so they aren't worth as much now

I do not know whether you, BTC guy, have true intentions of righting past wrongs and regaining people's trust or otherwise - but if so, acting with intentions to deceive, such as willingly posting under a different account to conceal your identity, would not help your cause.

I've been reading this thread as well - it's awesome - kind of like CSI. 

I would actually be interested in buying these for $400 or so but concerned there's no guarantee they work properly, aren't stolen, etc. 

If they exist, some would consider them stolen.  They were paid for with other peoples money and never delivered.  And of course will he send them to you?  He failed to send them to his other 'customers'.

I took those pictures for him and sold some of his videocards and a few other items for him a couple months back as I was paid for doing so. Long since receive my money back from him plus interest and profit for selling his other items for him. But to make it very clear I/Retropcdos have nothing to do with his scams or previous scams, he his own person.

 ::)

I known him for a while, found find on Craigslist. Bought all kinds of stuff from him, LCD'S tv, laptops and computer parts, CPU'S, GPU'S, found find on Craigslist, intill disagreement and money that was owed and he moved. Untill a year ago, then the three people show up looking for him, as he use my name, which I didn't know of, or approved of, but I guess his way to get back, as I made his life hell for a while and not on good terms I just wanted payback during that time. But one guy knew how he look and his real name as he dealt with him and was investigating him, but he didn't know where he lived as he gave him a few fake address, as they been looking for him for a while. I remember his last address, once he told me his real name and realize it was him and then zabasearch him, they when to the addresses I gave them intill they found him a few hours later around the area and they confronted him, which is how they took the picture of him and then reported back giving me with the info. I then call him and when over to his real address after a few time of going back and forth finally came to terms, receive my money back plus some and started selling a few GPU's for him, as he ask if I could and charge him a fee of course and took a pictures of the singles for him so he can sell on his own, as didn't want to deal with them, as he didn't want to leave them.  

you guys are just chasing your tail and pointing fingers at the wrong people.
