Title: Check out this Antminer S1 Price

How the heck is this even selling? Gullible buyers?

I don't even think the Antminer was ever even sold at the price of 3,040 before.

People are gullible, it's also easy for people to buy with a credit card.  Not everyone can figure out how to buy with Bitcoin from Bitmain.  Whats worse here is that it looks like this guy used them for 2 weeks and is unloading them for insane profit.

Hell, people are still paying well over $20 each for the 333 mh/s miners.

As PT Barnum said, there is a sucker born every minute.

That's an insane price for the 333. I see people buying the U1 for like 50 bucks each. Pretty crazy.

That is pretty ridiculous pricing.  You can get 5 new Ants (maybe 6 one used) with that much cash.

if you click on the 11 sold button it shows that the ones sold were price at a mere $1090, lol

None have sold since the price increased to $3040 and if you look on ebay there are plenty of antminers selling in the 600-900$ range

Still making a decent profit though, and it doesn't change the fact that people will grossly overpay on ebay.  Likely purchased for around $600 - $700 and mined for them a couple weeks before selling them. also, if you look back as his selling history, they sold an s1 a couple weeks back for $2390.

I think its people heard so much stuff about BTC, but they don't really understand. Also since none of the ASIC brands are mainstream, they don't know who to trust. So people are willing to pay a premium for paying in cash on a site that offers consumer protection. My $.02

That price is crazy and I am not sure how real it is seems suspicious considering most are selling on ebay for 400-700 right now
