I have a pre-order for 3x BFL 600GH/s Monarchs, placed on 2014-01-02. I'm placing feelers out there if anyone is interested in buying them. We can do a BFL order transfer from one account to another, or I can ship them to you after I get them (you pay shipping).

BFL has always produced top quality products. I've been a customer since their FPGA days. The most recent update reports that their chips are currently meeting or exceeding power consumption estimates, with 0.45W/GHs at the chip level, which puts them right on track for a 350W power draw from each 600GH/s card. This makes them the most power efficient miner available. Unfortunately, and quite quite expectedly tbh, they've ran into delays, and I'm in need of the coins now. I have a few earlier orders that I'm not selling

I believe they said that they were on track for shipping in April, but my word on that is not law. At any point, you can request a refund for the purchase price, and they will refund you in USD. Yes, you can ask for a refund from an order that's been transferred to you, in spite of the fact that you didn't pay BFL for it. You still own that order, and the right to refund that order. Because of this, I won't accept any less than 90% of the purchase price in BTC at the current Coinbase amount, otherwise I'd just get the refund and cash myself. If no one buys them in the next 7 days, I'm going to issue a refund and get the cash myself.

So to summarize:
Great product
Extremely power efficient
Delays are too much
Need coins now

Let me know if you're interested!

How much you asking for them?  Obviously they will be later than what BFL claims.. but they do make stable miners.

Gimme an offer? The retail order is $6,376.

I don't know what BFL was promising for a shipping date, but they just announced it will be pushed back about 5 weeks. They had a problem with the chips they received.

Initial shipments were delayed, but future shipments weren't drastically affected, so it doesn't affect this order. Estimated shipping time when I bought this was April.

Has it been 6 months for you? I hope you get your refund..

It's been like 5 lol. Just shy of the cutoff. I have some other orders that are being upgraded to the Imperial, but these 3 aren't. They were purchased at the discounted price.

If I don't sell them by Wed, I will prolly ask for a refund. That takes a few weeks, so I'd rather sell them here!

Last chance before I request a refund this evening!

Sooooo I requested a refund, and BFL said I can't get a refund cuz these orders aren't more than 6 months old.  ::) ::)

That means I'm putting these back up for sale! If they're held for longer than 6 months without being delivered, they said I (or anyone who holds the order) can request a refund. This means the order is still worth at least $6,376.00, although I would be willing to take less than that to have the coins now.

Send me a PM and let me know if you're interested!

What is your price for just one of them?
Is it below what they are charging for them now on their website?

All 3 cards were purchased at the same time, so if you're looking to get the order transferred, I don't think I can split it.

I can transfer the entire order of 3, or I can keep the order and ship 1 of the cards to you when I get it from BFL. If you want to go this route, please PM me and we can work out the details.

I paid the same price as what is listed on their website. I'm looking for close to what I paid, but I'm not demanding a 100% $=$ purchase. You get a discount, and an earlier ship time, and I get my coins now (when I need them). Win-win!

Bump.

I offer 0.0000000001 btc

Unfortunately for you the Monarch is today SUPER overpriced.

You're lucky if you find who pay more than 3 btc each.

But .... good luck  ;)

I take it from your avatar that you're not offering? ;)

Their April deadline changed

I offer .08 for these ghost cards!

Your order has 100% nominal value IF they don't deliver. But if they do you will receive hardware whose value is tied to market prices.
Their last announcement dated 19/04 says their chips are ready and under testing so I guess they will honor their word.

Are you willing to accept market offers?

Regards

BFL still not shipped these monarchs??!! wow and we thought they were bad with the first line of ASIC's.. pleased i never went back to order more from them

best of luck reselling.. i know BFL policy on refunds.... possibly paypal chargeback? or did they close that loophole to?

My apologies for not keeping up with this: crazy work schedule, moving to a new place, and buying a new car have kept me very busy the past few weeks.

It looks like BFL has the potential to start shipping products within a week or two. I don't put much stock into their claims anymore, but I am hopeful that it will be soon.

If anyone is still interested in buying these, I will still entertain offers. PM me and I'll give you a list of the orders I have with them, and you can take your pick on which one you want. I won't sell the older orders for as low, as those are expected to be delivered sooner.

And yes, reasonable offers only please. An offer of 0.08 makes you a douche. As I've said before, the worst case scenario for me is that I mine on them myself, which is an extra 3.5TH/s.

3.5 THs? 3x600 is 1.8 THs... what are we missing?

Ah sorry. I also have two November orders, one of which got upgraded to an Imperial. 4x600 + 1x1000 = 3400

How much for the 3x Monarch cards then? Can place of delivery be changed now?

Holy crap man, I get your stressed but calling me a douche for throwing in a joke bid is uncalled for.. :/

I agree. It is not his fault if you paid 6376$ for 1.8 THs yet to deliver. You even said "douchey" things like that your order was worth 6376$ when it is sadly obvious that it doesn't and never did.
I would like to offer 6 BTC but I need to know where the cards are going to be sent to factor shipping costs to me.
