Title: Re: This will probably make the news in a terrible way... Post by: DeathAndTaxes on April 05, 2013, 03:52:06 AM Just "report" the auction. Demanding buyers not pay with PayPal is prohibited. Ebay will yank the listing for that reason alone.

Avalons exist - perhaps some of those listings are frauds but this item is a fraud that's why I blame BFL.. they say it is 'out of stock' instead of saying, our bad, we refund mini rigs now and focus on reality Title: Re: This will probably make the news in a terrible way...

Post by: sunblaster on April 05, 2013, 05:07:09 AM clearly unit is OUT of STOCK, so $65k is justified. :P

Potential eBay buyers may well be the same - especially if BFL isn't going to be offering a unit with that much hash power any time soon. The desperation to acquire ASICs right now is truly mind-boggling and people are willing to overlook an awful lot in that pursuit. Title: Re: This will probably make the news in a terrible way...

That is a great headline for a story on that listing ;) Title: Re: This will probably make the news in a terrible way...

Is an eBay ban waiting to happen. Quote This unit is now out of stock on the ButterflyLabs website. This order has already been paid for and accepted. Out of stock because it's impossible to build because of the power requirements! What you will get is 60x 25GH/s Little Singles or 30x 50GH/s Singles (assuming it's not a pre-order scam) |
