Title: [WTS] 8 Antminer S3 (Canada)
Post by: allinvain on April 27, 2016, 05:33:15 AM
This may be a long shot, but I'm curious if there is anyone out there who still wants these. They are the most reliable miners I have ever owned. I love them and I am sad I have to sell them. Send me offers either here or via PM.

These are located in Canada. Some are in Montreal some are in Labrador.

I do have some Seasonic 80+ Gold 450W ATX PSU that are powering a few of these so if you want the PSUs as well let me know. I think I can sell the PSU for around $45 CAD each.

Asking price for the miner alone is $45 USD

Montreal,Toronto or Labrador pickup is preferred.

If i could ROI them in one month(without PSU) on "free electricity", including shipping, i would probably be interested. They somehow stay pretty cool even with silent 120mm PC fans.

If yes, I'd just have to see if i could take 3, 6 or 9, depending on my cooling capacity.

These miners are usually best sold when its local pickup. They only make $20 a month and shipping across Canada will probably be that alone.

I live right next to, and shipping would be pretty cheap. I also had a car for 48 hours.

Oh shit, I dunno how I missed all these replies.

Yeah these miners are indeed pretty old and weak by today's standards but they are ideal for people with free electricity cause they're very quiet and super stable. It's ridiculous how stable they are compared to flaky S5s.

i did mention my interest before, which you had seem to overlook. You did not put a price tag on them for people to be takers, however.

Are you sure I overlooked it? I did reply saying that they may be worth like $50 USD and that I would be willing to sell them for a price around that mark. Maybe $45 USD would be better though.

Ok, shit, sorry it seems I confused you with another Quebec guy. Did you e-mail me? Anyway, let me know if you are still interested. I have 4 of them in Montreal and my associate is in Montreal now so I can have these ready to be picked up.

No i did not PM.
I only had a car for a week xD I can't pick them up anymore. I'm guessing shipping them would be in itself pretty much what i'd be willing to pay, so let me know if you have someone come by Ottawa/Gatineau.

Hmm, it would be tricky. We don't have any miner drop-off or pickups to do around the area. If you were to buy some other gear from me maybe we can justify driving over there. It is a long ass drive from Montreal.

Yeah, two hours one way is a bit iffy for a couple of obsolete/near worthless miner (sadly).

I'm only interested in the S3 as silent Bitcoin heater, with the summer and halving coming, the window is closing and there's not any other hardware i'm interested in. Not that would at justify the drive, anyway.

And at this rate, the obsolete miners i might get to get through the next winter might be S7.

Its just sad to see these S3 basically rot.

I am still surprised you are pulling a profit with those S3s. At almost 0.80W/ghs, I sold mine a long time ago.

To be honest I've been so buys trying to flip S5s and SP20s that I totally forgot about these lol. I haven't ran any calculations recently but no doubt they are losing money.

It depends on the State, but it should be around $25. PM me your postal code and I'll do a more precise calculation.

New York is not so bad as far as distance. Would you be willing to drive to Montreal to pick them up? It would be cheaper I think.

Oh OK. So how many are you interested in? You're ok with my asking price + shipping?

Yes I can understand you. Shipping is always going to be high for these. I don't know why I even bothered to post them for sale here.

Maybe when you unplug them, shipping to Gatineau would be doable? Dunno. Maybe undervolted SP20 would make for silent heater as well, but better efficiency, gah.

I think undervolted SP20 is better cause you can have the same w/gh ratio as S5s and not as loud by adjusting the fan speed. Like I said we can drive the gear to Gatineau but it has to be enough gear to justify the trip (it's 2 to 3 hours each way from Montreal). I have 7 SP20s sitting in Montreal and 4 S3s.
