Title: [WTS] 1.5Th/s (3x 500Gh) BFL Minirig Order #170XX [Sold 3] Out
Post by: Cablez on September 13, 2013, 12:23:00 AM
Let's see how this goes. Please be civil.  :)

Let me clean this listing up so the important information can be seen quickly, original is quoted below.  I have sold 2 of the three delivered minirigs in my possession.  There is one remaining that arrived the 21st and has been tested and works well.

The price for this unit is currently $6000 +shipping due by bank transfer.  If you have any questions or other offers please let me know.  Thanks for stopping by San Diego.

I'm looking to sell a 1500Gh Mini-Rig order, now that BFL allows transfers. actually delivered!!! I have 2 units on hand and another on the way. I will not be able to power these units as I had originally hoped so they are up to a good home.
The Order is #170XX, placed and paid on Feb 22 2013. Asking $26000 $18000 wire transfer or BTC but I am open to offers. Overnight shipping a given.  BTC on the rise makes the payback period much more palatable.
Escrow can be discussed, but is to be released once the order has been shipped.  I have tested the 2 boxes I have currently and they work as advertised with no issues so far.
Please reply here or PM me regarding offers, questions, or proof regarding the order.  Thank you.
Here is the screenshot of the order:

Escrow can be provided through John K or other, to be released once the order has been transferred through the BFL website to your account.

Please reply here or PM me regarding offers, questions, or proof regarding the order.  Thank you.

Can you power them if they come in a 8 - 60gh Singles because that is what is going to happen.

Probably not because that is still 8*3=24 singles at around 250W each so 6000W for the 1.5TH when delivered.  The place I was originally going to host them actually told me they are not going to wait for me anymore. Hence maybe someone else can do better with this equipment.

If you find no one to buy them/ can have them converted, I would be happy to host them for you. Otherwise I wish I had the BTC to make a worthwhile bid. Good luck!

I may consider your hosting offer but its just silly that they don't refund me. I am sure they have not even purchased the parts for my order yet as there is still a lot of backlog to go.

Did you pay with paypal? if so you should try some of the advice floating around to get refunded... otherwise ask them if you can take the singles offer that some people have? Wish you the best of luck!

I really wish I had used a reversible transfer to pay BFL now but alas that is not the case.  I have heard of the minirig-> single conversion but the details are sketchy at best.  Like if the singles order dates reach my paydate can I convert then...not sure.

I think the problem is that KNC is delivering now and 1.5Thash from them for november delivery is cheaper than these.  And once the difficulty goes up the fact that these minirigs will cost you about $500 a month in electricity to run is going to kill your profits.  Once these are down to generating $1000 a month in BTC the difference in profitability is going to be huge between these and more efficient miners.

Best of luck, but I think if you really want to sell these you'd have to price them cheaper than three KNC Jupiters for November.

Any idea (other than in 2 weeks) when this will be shipping?

Actually looking at the increased shipping schedule from BFL, I could see my first unit shipped today! I will keep this thread posted of course.

I will have to say that I respectfully disagree.

Well as of today's 10/10/2013 update on Jody's blog they have completed shipping first mini-rig units up until Feb 25th.  Source: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/347-thursday-october-10-2013-shipping-update.html

It seems though that I have not been sent a tracking number or even had my order change status from processing.  Huge surprise there.  ::)

Email has already been sent, we'll see what comes of it.  Will keep everyone updated.

MiniRigs: February 25 (1st 500 gh/s) January 31 (2nd 500 gh/s) and All June-Dec, 2012 MiniRig orders complete.

So they are sending these as 3 500 gh/s units, but not processing them all at once? For $30K in equip?  WTF? I wish I could offer you what you paid, you have done great work for the mining community over the years, but I don't see this ending well.  I would really push for a refund at this point, or more insist on a refund.  I can get you cheap hosting and I'll offer you what I can for units shipped, but I've played the BFL shipping game and lost twice, so I'm not at all interested in transferring the order.  Keep us updated, and don't let the rum run dry.

Well this just became more interesting.  It seems both my BFL and KNC orders changed status within an hour of each other.  Let's see who shipment arrives first. ;D

Update: Well it looks like I have tracking numbers for 2 minirigs with estimated delivery for tomorrow.  Apparently they are for rigs 2&3, I have to see what happened to #1.  I would consider these to be in hand units by tomorrow though. ;D

Things are looking up and this is no longer a pre-order sale.  Price and terms have been changed in the OP.  According to the genesis block these rigs could still make a profit if acted upon quickly.

not with their power consumption, only if you got free electric, which i have.

I am seeing profit potential in a couple of months even with 8 cent electric.  Take that for what its worth, a guesstimate.

Actually after really digging into the numbers that original ask price was off, I apologize.  OP updated with new price that should give a profit for the buyer.

I'll offer 40 BTC and pay for shipping costs to the UK.

How quickly could you ship?

With my current pricing it is $6000 for 500GH unit. The problem is BFL is taking its sweet time to ship the last one.  I should already have a tracking number and am waiting for their reply.

For power the unit uses about 2100W when mining so at a bare minimum yes, 2 X 15A circuits.

EDIT: Last tracking number received! Will arrive on Monday.

I powered mine on a single 20amp circuit with zero problems! Had in installed in my basement and cost me less than $200 bucks.

Last minirig has arrived in great condition today and works great.  Its ready for a good home so move quick, though I would ask now that the buyer picks up the cost of shipping.
