Title: Group Buy : ASICMiner Block Erupter USB (European Union )
Post by: prophetx on May 28, 2013, 07:48:39 PM
The minimum order is 50 of these at BTC1.99 each.

Anyone interested?  If 10 people say yes, I can put together a thread for the terms of the order, etc.

I'm located in Sweden (Karlskrona) and would ship to any other EU country.

Heat reduction: 560mA (emerald) -> 500-510mA (sapphire).

Stability: We stressed it with 9 Block Erupter USBs in a row without heatsinks heating up each other in a very dense USB hub with 25C without active airflow. No unexpected (non-probabilistic) HW errors ever happen.

Speed: This comes after better stability. Now the hashrate converges to its theoretical value of 336MH/s.

Appearance:
  Manual assembly (emerald) -> SMT machine assembly (sapphire)
  Standard heat-sink (emerald) -> heat-sink front-case 2-in-1 logo-ed (sapphire).
  LED added.

Four types of front-case:

Why would you not ship to the whole EU? I thought shipping costs from Sweden where the same within the whole union.

I think you are right I guess it doesn't make a difference, I can change that.

I'd like to propose the following as a cost structure:

it would be 1.99 + VAT (escrow) + shipping + escrow costs;

+ 5-10% for my time (depending on total quality 10% for first 50, 5% for 51st and later units)

+ shipping cost to you; 

the VAT amount would get refunded or partial refund depending on what amount actually gets charged at the border; as you know many people in the EU are charging full VAT however I have read about instances where the VAT is not charged or a different amount is charged, and therefor I propose that it is better that the estimated VAT is held in escrow until it actually has to be paid.
