Title: [WTS] 8x Antminer S1 + PSU - 1.5th/s (shipping anywhere from US)
Post by: onimusha on March 29, 2014, 07:01:43 AM
I'm looking to sell 8x Antminer that pull about 1.5th/s. PSU are HP 1200w with power cables included. I can also include ethernet cables for free if you need them.

I am shipping the miners from the US. I will ship to most countries, but you will need to pay additional shipping costs depending on where it is. PM me your location to figure it out.

You can also PM me for more info, questions, or my phone number and we can talk it out. Here's some pics and proof that I have the miners :-)

Price is set at $5000 in BTC determined at time of sale using Coinbase + shipping

We don't need any PSUs. How much for the Ants without them?

escrow?
Buyers choice, any escrow fees are on the buyer.

I'm interested in all of them, but I can't send you bitcoin and hope you send me the rig. You are brand new account. I just sent Goat $11k for his cointerra about a month ago no problem, but he has been around since forever.

You would either need to send first or we setup an escrow and split fees. You won't find anyone here sending you that much money on your word.

He said that if the buyer (i.e. you) wants to use an escrow, that is fine, just that you would pay the fee. It is fairly normal on here.

Obviously, if anyone chooses to buy this, I would HIGHLY suggest escrow for a brand new account, as always. Be safe, and good luck on your sale OP.

I just dont like I have to pay to protect my money. I think he should pay the fee to show he is sincere with the sale imo so I offered to split it. If he wants to lose a sell over what will most likely be $10-20 so be it.

How much for 2 no PSU?

Where are you located? Asking for potential pick up.

That's unfortunate. As GiantSlug said, it's normal for the buyer to cover escrow. There are enough trusted members of this community who are willing to do free escrow.

Isn't this a little expensive for 8 used miners?

-$5k divided by 8 is $625 for a used miner and psu (the psu I am assuming is shared since its a 1200w). Shipping is not necessarily included, depending on where you live.

-bitmain is .893 BTC (currently BTC is at $487.01) = $434.81 and if you order a corsair 850 for ~$80-~$100 that brings the price to maybe $534 shipped for new ones.

Which means I could pick up 8 for no more then $4200 shipped for new ones.



Not to thread crap, but you are charging almost $100 more per miner for used equipment, which we have no idea how long they have been running, if they have been overclocked (which means they work harder), etc.

I think if you want to sell these, you need to lower your price according to used, not brand new (plus a premium).

Bitmain does not offer overnight shipping and your math does not factor in 7 days of missed profits waiting on that shipment. I'm also including all the necessary equipment to get started out of the box as well as prior configuration on request.

Thread crapping is precisely what you're doing.

As far as the equipment goes, the only other piece I did not factor in is cat 5, and maybe a switch (total less then $100).

As far as missed mining goes, that is true, i did not include that in the numbers, with 8 machines running, for 7 days, about 2 btc at the current difficulty. So that is about $1,000 minus electricity costs.

And configuration... that is extremely easy for these, so maybe 10-15 minutes of ones times, if you have never done it before. So I hardly would factor that in for the evaluation.

And overnight is great... but for this many machines, the costs are going to run someone a few hundred dollars based on the size and weight of these machines (if located in the United States).

So for the amount of time you lose mining by ordering thru Bitmain, and the cost of shipping, it would be slightly cheaper to order thru Bitmain (even with the missed mining time). However, you could always order thru his distributor in the US, who ships within 2 days via 3-5 day shipping included. They also offer overnight for a fee. And his prices on miners are also 0.893 btc. Therefore, that would be the "cheaper" route if you wanted it overnight or faster then bitmain. They would also be new units as opposed to used units for an unspecified amount of time.


And while it may be slightly thread crapping, I feel it is more of informing people who don't know better so they do not get taken advantage of. And since you are a newbie here at bitcointalk.org, alot of us try to help each other out. One way we do that is to educate people so they enjoy mining. Also, my post was to let you know that you are overpriced, in case you did not already realize it. If you want those type of prices, I suggest craigslist or ebay, where people can't be informed of these things.

Regardless, I hope you realize that I am trying to help you sell them, and not feel bad for overcharging people for used units. I hope you take this as constructive criticism and enlightenment, which hopefully leads to a mutual good deal for both parties.

I'm not a newbie. I've had an account longer than you (since February 2013). I no longer have access to that email, so a password reset is not possible; hence the new account. Not that that matters but you seem to place some emphasis on that fact I'm a "newbie".

You're not helping anyone here. You're just being pretentious and derailing my thread. The miners are priced as I value them. You're clearly not interested and seem to be more focused on ruining my credibility. I've reported your posts, I'll ask that you stop responding as your comments are unwanted.
