I have a great batch 5 antminer S3 performing stably at above 470GH (usually 473-478Gh), selling for 0.5BTC (NEW PRICE; current value ~$188), compared with Bitmain $219 w/coupon for only 453GH guaranteed. Shipping to continental US only, please do not give me lowball offers, price is fixed and could change very little and only if you want to pay for shipping.

Or, if you buy around 10 of them, they are about $205 delivered new s3+ models (with a coupon). 

You might want to be more flexable on price (if you want to sell them that is :)

If you don't like the price, move along, please.

price is a bit steep just saw some go for 0.35 + shipping sadly i was too late
i take some if u can do 0.35

bitmain is charging only $210 per antminer plus shipping currently not $280

yes, but you have to pay shipping, don't you?
With shipping it is $280 to US without coupon or $230 with coupon from Bitmain
what exactly is your point? geez

offering .36 shipped

I will do .35 & cover shipping

even then, youll likely be hit with tax and UPS fees of another $20-35/unit.

It is free to import miners into the USA.  Here is the total cost delivered into the USA:
Quantity   Total Cost   Cost Each   
2   455.536   227.768
4   834.028   208.507
6   1254.922   209.1536666667
8   1649.901   206.237625
10   2058.678   205.8678
12   2444.215   203.6845833333
14   2848.09   203.435
16   3283.917   205.2448125
18   3690.787   205.0437222222
20   4097.656   204.8828
30   6146.485   204.8828333333
40   8195.314   204.88285

That is what I was saying before, pretty quickly they get down to < $210 delivered into the USA.  Yes, you need a coupon but people are just giving them away on this board.  They are really easy to get for free or next to free.  Worse case, you can buy a coupon on eBay for $8 here:

P.S.  Before I was disagreeing with your pricing of Bitmain miners.  The above pricing is correct.  Yes, I guess if someone couldn't get a coupon, and they purchased 1, them maybe they would be $280 each delivered.  However, I am trying to show people that the pricing is better than that.

^^^^These prices that you quote are to send miners to UMISOO facility, NOT to US.
It cost ~$68 each or $136 per two to deliver them to US (you have to choose direct on the first line (UMISOO is default) and then UPS as shipping method)
$227 is the price to go to hosting in Mongolia at UMISOO facility; $278 is to send them to US
Sorry, pal

Not sure what you are responding to.  Just about any quantity sent to their hosting facility is about $175 each.  Here are the prices delivered to the USA:
Quantity   Total Cost   Cost Each   
2   455.536   227.768
4   834.028   208.507
6   1254.922   209.1536666667
8   1649.901   206.237625
10   2058.678   205.8678
12   2444.215   203.6845833333
14   2848.09   203.435
16   3283.917   205.2448125
18   3690.787   205.0437222222
20   4097.656   204.8828

dude, I give up. Just try to work their website correctly and you will see.
Hint: true price is somewhat hidden by the default choice to UMISOO and comes up when you choose "direct" and then "UPS"

I agree that the price is a little hidden.  However, there are no problems here.  Pretty sure I know to choose "direct" and then "UPS".  I have been doing it the whole time.

Just for anyone reading this, the correct answer is:
2 with 2 coupons and nothing selected is $320.00
2 with 2 coupons and Umisoo selected is $352.801
2 with 2 coupons and direct shipping and UPS selected is $455.536

However, you really want to buy 4 or more as they are less than $210 each delivered in the USA at that point.  Up around 12 ~ 14 they get down to $203 or so each delivered in the USA.  Ordering more than 14 doesn't result in any price drop.

Sounds like someone was bored, and did the adding for each to come up with those figures ;)

I'll offer .38+ shipping.

In your excessive verbiage one thing is missing: that it is exactly what i posted Bitmain prices are for 2 miners: ~278 ea (well, i called it 280) without coupon and $~227 ea with coupon (I called it $230).
Everything else is blah blah blah
Incidentally, what is a bigger number $227 OR $200?
Please research

$208 delivered is what they cost on the website last night when buying a block of 4.  The coupons are free all over, and even if you didn't get them, you can email bitmain and they will send them to you - see their twitter posts.  So that is basically 200+shipping within the usa (if you group them together in one box)

any way you slice it, whether you buy private or from bitmaintech or whoever. $200 is too much for 450ghash

you don't have to buy or do buy from bitmain if you want to spend some extra $$ for the same or lower hashing speed.

New price of 0.5BTC for 470-478Gh
