Title: Avalon Asic #2 ?
Post by: sundownz on May 16, 2013, 02:30:00 PM
So I am looking to buy one from e-bay from Run #2 that the seller is supposed to have shortly... has anyone received a Run #2 yet to confirm ?

I have also heard from a reliable source that Batch 2's are shipping today.

Just make sure the seller is legit. See if he/she has a bitcoin talk account and have a few chats with him before you click buy!

The seller has 3000+ feedback on e-bay so seems okay ; but mostly low value items.

I am talking to John K about his escrow service ; I imagine that would be the only real way to ensure it is legitimate.

With 3000+ feedback, I'd say you would be safe enough but escrow cant hurt.

The seller wants to take payment in BTC but I do not have any.

What is the easiest and most secure way to buy bigger amounts of BTC ?

Haha, that is what I am trying to buy.

Currently I do mine on my computer right now but it sure would take a while to get enough BTC on just that  ;D

An unboxing video has been posted for batch 2.

Looking into escrow.com simply with USD as it looks like it will be very difficult for me to get enough BTC to buy the unit.

Hoping that it will break-even (at least at current prices) before becoming ineffective.

Bit of a gamble... but one can never come out ahead without some risk !

Yeah, big gamble with BFL. Personally I wouldn't risk it. By the time you get the system, the diff may be so high that it's not worth it.

Agreed 100%.

There is a youtube video of a batch 2 Avalon ASIC being unpackaged:

With that said, it seems unlikely that you'd get a good deal on one on ebay. More than likely they're being resold at a much higher price.
