Title: [WTS] Avalon ASIC Batch 2 125 BTC, have in hand
Post by: tysat on July 15, 2013, 11:45:19 PM
I have an Avalon batch 2 unit in hand that I'm looking to sell

Can provide other proof if really needed.  The unit is OCed and hashing around 80 GH/s.

Escrow is fine, will only do it with John K and buyer must pay escrow fees.

Buyer pays shipping as well.


Selling price is 125 BTC, PM with any questions.

130 btc is a fair offer. try calculating what you think difficulty goes to in 6 months and all i can say is you will likely not make back the return of 130. more like 80-100 btc.

that depends on how fast new asics will be delivered + after those 6 months you will still get some bits a month, so in the long run it might come out good - think of it as long term investment.

if you've been watching and seeing what is about to happen in the next few months, you would understand. i guess in the long run its fine, i mean if bitcoin survives you'll get your ROI maybe after 8+ months. Not bad, but its risky.

Still too high, even 125 is on the high side now.

Remember that you should subtract 1.5 BTC from the price every day as that is what this machine would be mining.

That is not a proper way to value a mining rig. 

Depreciation comes from difficulty adjustments, not from how many coins it has already mined.  If I were in the market to buy a miner at a lowball price, I might use the same argument.   ;)  Nice try though.

Yes but difficulty increases at regular, predictable intervals and it is fairly straightforward to estimate how much it is going to increase from the units that have been pre-ordered and are shipping now.

My point is simply: every day you wait, the value of your miner goes down! And by quite a significant amount.

The money a miner a makes on the tail end of its life, when difficulty is in the hundreds of millions and it is barely covering the cost of it's electricity is negligible compared to how much it will mine in a single day right now.
