Title: [WTS] Pre-ordered Black Arrow Prospero X-3 batch 1
Post by: MANofthePEOPLE on January 02, 2014, 01:11:31 PM
Hi guys!

I pre-ordered a Black Arrow X-3 and got cold feet shortly there after. I also would like to do some trading with BTC instead of mining.

Ordered it 14th december so it is on batch 1 (shipping february). It is paid in full ($6028 including shipping) although with customs fees it will end up costing me $7,5k which is the minimum I want for it. I will try to change shipping adress to yours and if possible you will get full control of the account. If it's not possible I will send it as soon as I get it without unpacking it. I am located in Stockholm so if you rather fly in and pick it up that is possible as well. I can meet up outside of Sthlm if you are flying with Ryanair too.

I very much prefer bitcoins as payment but can do skrill (moneybookers) as well.

Write here or PM me.

I thought there would be more interest in this to be honest.

BTC12,5 if we keep it in escrow?

Have you read about them in the forums lately? Take a look and you might see why there isn't much interest..

Yes, I have probably read every post. I haven't seen a single post doubting delivery. What people (including myself) have complained about is their lack of support.

There might not be doubts about whether they deliver, but there certainly are doubts about when they will deliver. Hashfast taped out early September, and is just now shipping, about 110 days later. Cointerra taped out early November, and isn't expected to ship until late January at the earliest, about 80 days later. February 24th is only 50 days away, and Black Arrow still hasn't taped out.

Well if you end up not shipping to your address you wont be paying those customs lol, I am partly interested but 10 btc is a bit insane especially since I expect btc to hit 2k per coin within the next 2 months easily. I have the ability to use this rig at a college dorm room with extremely high speed ethernet and electricity completly free so maybe we can work out some sort of deal.

Yea BTC was $150 lower when I wrote 10. Probably selling it for BTC7.65 today unless someone wants to bid higher.

I just want to do a trade as fast as possible because I want to be able to sell and buy at a lower point if it does go down again.

never thought of that, unless Black Arrow is just keeping mom.

You guys are forgetting that cointerra is located in the US and Black Arrow is literally located IN the building the hosts the assembly line for the boards.  The second they get the chips they have unlimited assembly at their disposal (and in the meantime all their lines are cranking out bitfury devices).  cointerra and hashfast have a lot of middlemen that black arrow doesn't have, the other consquence of that is poor customer support on BA's part.
