Title: [WTS] IN-HAND Batch #1 Avalon for local pickup
Post by: kaerf on June 11, 2013, 08:14:53 PM
xpost from the Goods section since people seem to look to the auctions subforum for avalons. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228775.0



Here are the pictures and posts when I first got my avalon:

The machine works great and runs super stable.


Looking for 270 BTC. Price cut. Starting bid 230 BTC.


Prefer local pick up in Northern California (bay area). If no one local wants to buy, I'll consider the next best offer.


For your reference:
ASICMINER blades are priced at 50BTC per 10-13GH https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204030.0
This Batch #1 just sold for 281 BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=221806.msg2372058#msg2372058

that means my jalapeno* (8GH ~) costs 30 btc, 5 months of mining with the current difficulty, and it is hard to believe that it will not increase fivefold in less than 5 months, and more again..
hope it will not broke by then xD

*not received yet  ;D

Both are irrelevant, the only thing that matters is what people are willing to pay for it now. He's the one who took the risk and got the device for a great price, he's the one who gets the reward.

Amazing how many pathetic hobby muppets visit the sale threads only to talk shit and show off their lack of brains these days.

No kidding, blows my mind how petty and pathetic a lot of people are.

Feel free to wait 2 months (and then probably another month or two) for those chips.  ;D
Announcement for batch #1 delivery ~ Jan 20th. Actual real ship date ~ March 8th.
Avalon batch #2 preorder announcement claimedMarch 6th  start ship date (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=139704.0). To date, they have not started bulk shipment of B#2.

Anyway, no one is forcing you to buy from me. Some people believe diff with shoot up quickly, others think BFL and Avalon will continue to delay. Everyone has their own thoughts on how fast the difficulty will go up. If your goal is buy an Avalon to make a profit and your difficulty projections don't match up, then I recommend you look elsewhere.

Same thing that I meant since he wanted him to lower a price just because it was cheap at some point and not even bothering to think about the fact he lost out on btc appreciation by paying for it back then.

Ah well, if no one wants it by tomorrow morning (my time) then I'll close the auction. If the people that PMed me are still interested I'll consider selling to them otherwise I'll just continue mining.

Again, for reference...here's what you can buy right now.

ASICMINER 10-13GH/s for 50BTC = 5 to 3.846 BTC/GH
ASICMINER USB 400MH for 2 BTC = 5 BTC/GH

I'm offering 70GH for 220 BTC = 3.143 BTC/GH.


Dont' forget, you can always resell after you've mined for a while too.

selling chips is a smart idea for avalon team.
there wont be delay.  coz they only need to do a 1-step task.
actually, avalon is sending out testing chips to whom ordered those chips.
for Chinese users, they already got the testing chips. ::)

so my estimate 2 months for Avalon clone is very hopeful,  i guess it should be sooner. :D

I don't usually need to reboot it. At one point I was coin jumping to alt coins and that seemed to require a reboot every few days, but when staying with bitcoin I don't need to touch it.

dimensions are approximatly 15"x6.5"x17.5" 4U.




I'm closing the for sale thread. A couple of people have PMed me today...if you're still interested let me know. I'm just going to hold on to the unit and mine with it if no one PMs me.
