Title: WTS - 200GH/s Avalon miner
Post by: Septimus on January 23, 2014, 11:03:00 PM
I'm selling my small mining operation to pursue other Bitcoin aspects (trading, cloudhashing, etc)

-($2100) Generic Avalon 'batch 2' unit that runs between 200-230 GH/s. This unit has a modified cooling system; there are two fans on each of the large heatsinks inside. The three exhaust fans have been reversed to suck air out. Feel free to reconfigure this how you see fit.

I do business through Paypal, despite their recent assistance in quickly reversing two scam transactions that cost me around $300. I'll send you the payment invoice through your Paypal email, you pay me, I send the miner with tracking and insurance. I will only be shipping to within the U.S. as I'm too lazy to deal with customs and mysteriously disappearing packages thousands of miles away.

I'm trying to keep this as simple and secure as possible to minimize risk for both parties. I will accept BTC payments, but the amount must first be agreed upon before doing business. I would prefer to do business on Paypal however.

Thanks for looking.

if you want to minimize risk dont accept paypal it just attracts scammers use a non reversible payment method and accept escrow

PayPal is not easily reversed when providing a shipping receipt. I have sold many things on eBay through PayPal with no problems whatsoever, miners included. It was my own fault for selling Bitcoin through direct transfer.

Updated pricing.

I'm taking a hit on these prices, but I'm still willing to sell. Can do BTC payment via BTCrow.

From what I understood after speaking to both eBay and Paypal, neither service really wants to do business with BTC...at least not at this time. Miners are fine to sell, but BTC itself is a no-no. Even with paper wallets or a physical delivery of an item accompanied by a BTC transfer, Paypal does not offer any form of protection for it in the event a case is opened against you, even with a tracking number; this is coming from a claims department worker. I was surprised to hear this, considering how many people (including myself) think paper wallets offer protection.

Admittedly, it's harder to scam utilizing that method, but if you do business through Paypal, you're not completely safe in the event a scammer gets ballsy.

Also, lowered the price even further on these miners. Not going any lower than this. These are listed on eBay as well.
