This is an auction for five OneStringMiner_DIY2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495536.0) sets, 60 GH/s each, including shipment.
Just connect 12V via screw terminal/PCIe/barrel jack and connect USB cable to PC/Raspberry/... start your mining software and you're mining.

These are perfect replacements for your Block Erupter USB sticks. Just plug in the 12V and the USB cables and you're mining with 180x the speed of the BE. A miner software update might be needed.

Each set consists of:
1 OneStringMiner_DIY2 board
2 USB cables
2 power interconnect cable
2 serial interconnect cable
1 heat sink
8 hex spacers(4 for each additional board)
4 rings and nuts(for each up to 4 boards)
1 18cm fan(for each up to 4 boards)
4 fan mounting strips(for each up to 4 boards)

Auction runs till Friday noon CET. Starting 11:59 a new bid extends the auction by five minutes. If no new bid is done for five minutes, the winner(s) will be announced and a request to pay will be PM'd.
If paid in time, the package(s) will be brought to DHL that afternoon.

Starting bid is 0.2BTC, increments of 0.01BTC.

Please bid like this: <number of sets>@<bid per set> for example 3@0.25 to bid 0.75BTC in total for 3 sets.

I'll kick off

2@0.20BTC

where will these be shipping from?

The Netherlands

Correct, thanks.

This is my first forum auction I've participated in and I guess I should have asked up front, but if I've bid on 5 of the miners at a certain price but someone outbids me for 3 of them do I get the remaining 2 at my price or is my bid for 5 or nothing?

I asked Ben about these cases, and in this case - you would get the remaining 2 at your price (assuming no further bids).
There's some other pitfalls, but Ben will deal with them in the rare case they should occur :)

Thanks for answering and I will solve any issue that might arise to everybody's satisfaction.
(I have more than five boards in stock).

Ohh, ok cool.  Love the efficiency.  Would you mind if I sent you a PM?  I'd like to set up a standing order if these work out for me.

PMs are always welcome.

 1 @ 0.28

3@.28

2@0.29
1@0.28

(that leaves 3@0.29 or higher)

Hope this auction can end sooner than friday night - the pricing is already at a very fair value IMO

Are you sure about that?  While it does leave 3 @ 0.29 or higher after your 2 @ 0.29, I'm not sure where your 1 @ 0.28 goes.  Triple-checked, I might be wrong though (messy - and Ben did say he's got more than 5 anyway):

klondike_bar	1 @ 0.28	?	?	?	?	?

Not sure if bluff... ;)

FYI, 0.29BTC * us$667 = us$193.
Have a look at MegaBig site to see the price for 30 chips.
The normal price for a single DIY2 is us$731.
So to say that it is at a fair price is a bit odd.
I started this auction to get publicity, a loss is calculated in, but for this auction only.
The auction is set to end at Friday noon CET, not midnight.

^my understanding was that below my bid there were 4 bids at 0.28.

I made it simple and put one bid at 0.28 (makes maximum 5 at that price) 
then bid 2@0.29.

This means 3 more can be bid on at 0.29, and then bids must go higher. (if im not mistaken)
 
Im willing to bid these towards the going rate of an antminer, basically balancing the benefit of power consumption against the drawback of running a USB host and having to run everything via a c/bfgminer instance. I just feel like the bidding will stagnate out well before friday night at the current speed

A cheap Raspberry Pi can run up to 20 boards, so the drawback of a USB host is not big.

And thanks for this one too!

You should reward TheRealSteve with a DIY1 board for his great overview ;D ;) ;D

HA! haha.  ... could I? ;) I kid, I kid!
I'm more a fan of StickMiners (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=464496) anyway.

Then you should stick with those  ;D (sorry, I am in a funny mood)

back to business ...

5 @ .42

Don't make me stick you with one! ;p

Back on topic: 45 minutes to go!

I am a bit surprised by the difference between the bids for the DIY1 (0.3) and DIY2 (0.42).
The DIY2(60GH/s) has double the capacity of the DIY1(30GH/s)!

5@0.44

Is the max bid .41? I see the bids are higher than that, but your previous post mentions a max bid of .41.

The maximum bid is now 0.44 for all 5 (fhh's bid, 1 post above you).

Ah, that was the max bid at that time, my fault.

Congrats to wttbs(4) and SBC3(1) for winning the DIY2 auction.
I will send you both a PM soon.

Another special thank you to TheRealSteve, cheers!

No problem :)

Congrats to the winners in both auctions, looks like you got a great bargain!

Thank you for the auction!

It has been a pleasure, kinda ;)

I failed to realise that noon CET was 6am here *fail*

in any case, looks like the buyers got a fair price, I am not sure I would have bid much higher, definitely no more than 0.09BTC/GH

Congrats to the winners!  Very well-done auction.  :)

I also have to say that I was pretty impressed with how this ran.

I have no stake in this at all, but I have an eye on this company. Seems more legit than most, but I'm reserving final judgment until the auction winners receive their hardware.

You realize that your maximum bid(5.4BTC) is way higher than the price of the DIY2 ?

Thanks for the compliment.
And we are very legit.
The company exist since 2004 and I am involved in BTC since 2011.
But sure, wait till you get the first confirmations of receiving the hardware.

whoops, missed a decimal point :)  meant 0.54/DIY2

I am definitely interested in seeing how they run.
Your right once the auction winners start posting about how they are running at home it will make it much more exciting.
Great job this was well run auction.

Thanks for the compliment.

All winners, except one(who asked me to ship later), have received the tracking information.
