Well, at least one has shipped.  I have an order for 1 jalapeno that I now have a tracking number for and it's on it's way to my house.  It could be yours, without the box even been open yet.  I really don't want to sell, but if I can get the coins I paid to preorder it in the first place I'd be happy.  I also have 6 coming that I would sell, most of them order #'s are very close to the one that is shipped, all ~#2200 orders and a #3000 order so I might actually get a few next week.

This auction is for ONE (1) SEALED BFL Jalapeno.  The winner has the option to secure additional units that are coming.

Each bid in the final minutes will extend the auction by 10 minutes. 

Auction ends at 00:00 on the following clock (June 4th, 00:00:00 UTC.)


Opening bid: 24.99 BTC.

Minimum bid increment: 0.01 BTC.

oh, and buyer pays shipping, whatever method that choose, exact amount.  shipping from Canada.

Don't start the opening bid at the price its worth *sigh*

so you woul be happy if someone pays you 25 BTC, tell me more pls

^ people bidding 25 BTC for the last auction for Jalapenos

okay maybe they're worth a shade less than 25 BTC but we'll see how this goes. 

10 BTC that's my bid.
Forget about 25 BTC dude.

yeah this late in the game youll never get 25.  You could just buy a blade at  that price without the risk that you are real.  like ive been posting before a fair price is 2.5-3 btc per ghash. let us know if youll accept less than a 25 bid.

Bunch of people were going through group buy to buy silly 300+ mh/s thumbdrive for 2+ BTC.

That's 6BTC per gh/s :)

Do you ship to europe (netherlands)?

If so i will raise the current bid to 11 BTC.

25 BTC? that's like MYR 10K. wow

VERY few pepople are buying the USB drives for the mining profit. I bought a few as gifts and collectors items.

13 BTC here if this is actual bidding.

14

bid 15 btc

they will never turn a profit, those are more just for fun. . .  i guess.

Was that your bid or are you just quoting?

I got some PMs about this so it might be sold but it's still on the table until something is settled.

Yeah 25 BTC is a lot.  But it's market value at the moment. 

I'd be interested in trades for ASICMINER shares, if someone wants the remaining 5 units.

So, just to be clear its sold for some untold amount? PM bids need to be posted in the thread, seems fair dont you think?

i have a personal reserve in mind thats way higher then the current bid in the thread, maybe its higher even then PM bid.

I was quoting, which is why it was quoted.

...five bids were placed below the minimum bid he had set.  Nobody was reading, I guess.

We are seeing this a lot now - people starting their auctions at the high end of "market" price. Start at 1 BTC and let the market decide what is market price.

Nobody is going to buy it for 25 BTC, dude.

bid for 15.01 BTC

It's not like I'm accepting or encouraging bids via PM.  It's just that this auction seemed to be everyone saying it's not worth 25 BTC, and I agree, that's kind of a lot but days ago people were paying that much so I don't see how this one could be at some total discount, and also consider that the one that just sold for 25 BTC was a "used unit". 

I got 2 PM's from people that both said they want it.  I figured if everyone said it was too much money and no one's going to bid that high, and then someone offers me that much, well they could basically get it...  But I won't have it in my hand for at least another day, and it could take a day or two more for it to actually arrive, so we have time to figure all this out.  The auction would have ended far before I would make any sort of official decision. 

Show me another BFL SC in hand for sale.  I can't seem to find any.

Keep bidding though, maybe I should have done it with a reserve of 24.99 BTC and started the bidding lower.  There's no harm in placing bids really even if they are under the minimum, let's see where this goes.

mc_lovin

all these people bidding (including me) are below the min of 25 btc that you specified.  its not clear whether this auction will get above 25 btc (and i suspect it wont).

please clarify whether you will accept these auction bids, and allow it to be sold, even if it closes below 25 btc.    Will you allow the market to decide the price.  Its unfair for you to stay quiet and allow this auction to continue without clarifying whether you will abide by the bids here or not, even if they are under your 25 btc amount.  please say so now before we all bid unnecessarily in an auction that you may deem at the end was completely invalid.

OKAY sounds good, might as well make it official!  I have a bunch coming so we might as well make this an auction.

25 BTC reserve removed, it goes to the highest bidder! 

I just figured it's worth the 25 BTC.  It's worth at least close to that.

Bid away!

Bid @ 18 BTC

18 BTC!  Do I hear 18.5 BTC?

18.5 BTC  :)

1 @ 20BTC

One for the record books.

What do you mean.. people were paying 25 BTC for these a week ago..  I'm surprised it's only at 20 BTC still.

C'mon folks 5 hours left!

I would totally be on this deal; seeing that it is such a low price, I mean who couldn't resist.

However, as with everything, money is the issue, thus all I can give is a friendly bump...

Hope the auction goes well and the buyer is satisfied!

It's pretty low!

Thx Matt :)

Looks like 10min have been past, i won?

Yeah - gave up, figured I'd wait until the next one shipped, why wear us both out of money ;)

looks like... enjoy it and post some results later on what we've missed out :)

Glad i got it at 22.5. Just the right amount since shipping will cost alot and maybe import taxes aswell...

I want to have guy mining this week if possible :D

congrats pvtbrutus!

Enjoy. You should like it. I missed this auction or may have bid around this price. Maybe next time.

No worries. He has more coming shortly since his orders weren't that far apart.

Yeah I ordered 6 the same day, mostly separate orders so there should be more coming soon. 

I got tracking numbers for all 6 units.  One is sold to pvtbrutus but the rest are all available!

PM me if interested!
