Have you tried - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0 ?

And just use one of the forums' escrows (some are free) , or try out https://www.bitrated.com (some are free as well)

Just listened to EpicenterBitcoin (http://epicenterbitcoin.com) podcast yesterday about OpenBasaar. I'd reckon such decentralised marketplaces in addition to a post in these forums would be the best fit for selling such hardware?

You could try slangin' 'em on Cryptothrift, I've used them a few times no with no hassle.

Open Bazaar is great but there's not enough people using it, would probably take ages to sell goods on there.

do you happen do own bitrated? Because I have seen you spamming that site a lot recently. Also any website escrow service is going to be vulnerable to manipulation and social engineering and are generally not safe to use.

You can sell them around the forum. How much are you looking for the Gridseed and the Antminers?

Well , there is already a subforum for it. However, you might also consider posting it for a trade or something. A lot of people do look for mining rigs, though I doubt there is much interest the past few days

also openbazar, isn't ready yet, they are still in development

to the OP

i'm also selling two g-blade, but i doubt i will succeed to sell them, not enough interest, and they are pretty much useless

I find it is best to just use cryptothrift.com

Anyway how much ebay fees if you sell it there? I never sell in ebay, many ppl said their fee is high


Title: Re: used miners, where do you sell them?
Post by: Exther2 on March 05, 2015, 12:45:19 PM
Maybe the eBay is the best place to sell it, because there are people who really need those for any reason.
Fees may be a bit high, but anyway it's biggest world wide market auction site.

Ebay has high fees but a lot of buyers, you get rid of your miners there and end up with a decent price that will get you more btc than if you mine.

its best to sell on eBay as there are lots of buyers and you might endup selling for more than its worth

Had the same experience. Sold a BFL Jalapeno for 179 EUR when it wasn't worth more than 100 EUR.

At this point you can buy a 30 Gh/s here for 70 GBP: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Butterfly-Labs-30-GH-S-Bitcoin-Miner-EU-No-Import-Tax-/321691549353?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae64f7ea9

Why not try Amazon or even Alibaba?
I am sure they are pretty good alternatives to Ebay.
Of course bitcointalk has its very own Marketplace and Goods sub-forum.

I did sell for about ten used miners on Ebay. I would choose other way if I would know any as Ebay fees are crazy.
