Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys. I decided to make a desperate thread from my KNC Mining shop for Butterfly Labs stuff. They just don't go together too well IMHO. To buy shoot me an offer, I never have a set price, its just the way I operate.

Accepted Payment Methods: PayPal

I'm in the US but I am going out of the country for month in two weeks so I am looking for a fast sale, I can ship the day after receiving payment.

Current Stock: 4 more in stock (Phyber.HF almost got me with fake escrow but I realized  it was fake before I shipped out)
Picture proof: http://imgur.com/bcUi5Gq

I own several Butterfly Lab miners and like them, but they are becoming slow by current standards.  I am interested in your mini rig (or 4?), what price are you seeking?  500 gh/s is not too expensive now, unlike it was when you purchased these rigs.

I'll pm you.

I'll just leave this thread here.

It lays out TheBatIsBack's suspicious behavior. He likely does not have anything to sell. If he can afford tens of thousands of dollars for mining equipment, he can afford a $50 camera to take a picture of the equipment with "TheBatIsBack's BFL Minirigs @ bitcointalk.org forum 1/14/2014" wrote on a piece of paper in the picture.

I'll get picture proof soon.

Our deal is off, he does not know of any Escrow Agents he will trust!!  That's all i needed to know. I instead ordered from China!

I am willing to provide escrow service... Waiting for the pics, may be interested too!

Once pics are provided, I will be making a fair offer for a couple of these.

About how much, are we talking here?

I'm hoping to have these picture proofs soon. the thing is I am at college so if I want to get a picture I'm going to have to direct my parents or sister through taking it. worst case scenario I'll have them when I go home for the weekend.

yea i bet you will.

I don't even know who you are and every thread I make you come and sales trash me
 Are you mad at me for something, I gave you no reason to be.

Pictures?

I'm not mad at you in particular. I just take suspicious behavior seriously. It's common scammer tactics to...

1. Create a fresh account with little activity
2. Create at least 1 WTS thread for expensive, highly sought after items. Bonus points if you want to sell more than 1 item of different types or create additional threads for different items.
3. Have no pictures, or post pictures easily achieved from google searching.
4. Make excuses on why you don't already have pictures.
5. Refuse escrow, or offering escrow in thread then going silent in PMs when escrow is mentioned in an attempt to get someone to trade without escrow.
6. Mark threads as closed/SOLD when suspicious behavior is noted in the thread and no buyers claim to have bought your items in the thread.

And you exhibit many, if not all of those points.

I've earned the +Trust next to my name by participating in the website over a long period, I always post lots of highly detailed pictures in my WTS threads (See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219185.0;all and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=370907.0;all as examples), I've offered escrow in my GPU sale thread, but the trust next to my name now enables people to feel comfortable sending BTC to me first, and I never fully delete/remove my threads, because I want to preserve the information within, showing how I attained my trust.

I'm probably just wasting my keystrokes at this point since, if I'm correct, you'll just be making a new bitcointalk forum account anyways at another attempt to swindle someone of their hard earned coins/cash, but if you really are legitimate, you will take a lesson from a person who is actually trusted on these forums.

wow he still at it? escrow only with this guy!!!  I think he is bound n determined to get his scam working cause he doesn't wanna make a new account hehe

Why would I make a new account. Im here to stay, and not to scam. I am just having difficulties getting a photo since im at college.

And because you don't currently have the equipment? (I can prove it) You really shouldn't make misrepresent what you have to people and then make promises on it that you can't keep.

All you do is be honest and post a picture with proof that its your rig, Like a sign with your username next to it.  8)

Deal fell through with phyber.HF. Just added the picture proof my parents sent me.

What do you have exactly?

Escrow?

I have four, and while I would use escrow for the LTC I am really looking for PayPal, I have bills I need to pay and the amount of time it would take to convert the litecoin to cash simply would not be fast enough.

Sorry no paypal...

Lol -6 trust

Tomatocage is a no-life wannabe moderator. The funny thing is so long as he abuses his trust he probably never will be  one. xD
Sorry if I sound aggressive this kid really pisses me off

he seems to have a nose for sniffing out scammers, and you seem to be one.

I have better things to do than scam. If I have multiple miners it would only make sense if I could afford my own things, I recently preordered a KnC Neptune so the only reason i am selling these is so i can pay my bills, xD. Anyways BUMP.

I will pay $5,000 USD via Ebay/Paypal for one.  That may be less than you are hoping to get given what I am guessing you paid, but keep in mind the newer Avalon 2 systems are out for under $2K for 200 - 220 Gh/s from btmine, and these are 55nm chips just like the BFL Mini Rig .. so 5K for 500Gh/s is market.

If you want to do this, you should be a verified Paypal account so I have protection without the need for escrow. Please set up a private auction on ebay and I will pay via paypal.   You will need to PM me for my ebay user ID so you can setup the private auction.  You will ship to my verified Paypal address.

Best regards,

Jeff

you keep bumping this thread and you have yet to show any evidence that you have said hardware let me guess you're too busy to take pictures right?

Dude its in the thread in the form of an Imgur link. been there for two days now...

Edit: Jeff, I don't have an eBay. If I ask you to send directly through PayPal would that be a deal breaker.

yet keeps coming back to say your a scammer xD

Are you open to www.escrow.com.

Its a well known site, and its been around for a long time.

I`ll split the fees, and release the funds once everything checks out w. the miner.

you are in no position to do that bro. At least I have one positive trust

I might use escrow but I really need some PayPal money. If you can use PayPal I'll take 100$ off the original price

Dude if the picture I saw on that imgur link is what you are offering, I can go to radio shack and reproduce the same effects.  That was a pic of a piece of paper with your user name on it and some kind of metal case behind it that is impossible to make out.  Use caution folks...seller isn't helping reduce buyer risks.

That is not a KNC Miner, If you want to sell professionally, Then take good quality photos of your rig, and show the whole thing, Dont make it stink fishier than it seems.

6 days later and this guy still hasnt shown any proper evidence except for a faded picture that he owns said hardware its been 6 fuckin days  and he continually bumps this thread waiting for a sucker to rip off
