Title: [WTB] USB Miners - Antminer/ASICMiner/Bitfury/Avalon - Any Condition - SHA256
Post by: BadgerHobbs on May 28, 2018, 04:05:23 PM
Looking to buy your old, dusty, used USB miners to solo mine with for fun.

I'm looking at around 5-10$ per unit (this depends on quantity and quality).

This is below the Ebay price hike but since i will be mining with them until they die and not reselling, I'm not prepared to pay $50+ for a 330MH/s Block Erupter.

So far i am unable to find any at a reasonable price, after contacting Bitmain and Canaan directly they have none lying around (I guess it was a long shot).

I'm looking for:
Antminer U1
Antminer U2
ASICMiner Block Erupter
Avalon Nano
Bitfury Red Fury
Bitfury Nano Fury

I will accept any condition, but the price will reflect this.

Paying in BTC

Looking to buy 20 or so old, used USB miners.

I'm looking for around 20 of either Antminer U1/U2 or Block Erupters specifically.

Any condition as long as working, looking to pay around $50 + shipping

Yes, i know these are not profitable, so would be running them just for fun on CKPool.

Can pay BTC directly, or Forum escrow. Whichever is fine with me.

$50 each or for all 20?

$50 for all 20. I would be mad to buy them at $50 each.

Let's go ahead and snub this  ;)

I'll pay $80 for 20 block erupters working if you got em!  (i can give them a good home with another 30 on hand..all to be kept for the next 40 years)

You should run the ones you have solo mining and see if you get lucky, just for the fun of it. You might win the Bitcoin lottery  :D

I think these are going for $30-$50 each elsewhere

Yeah, seems like people are listing at high prices to those who are new to bitcoin mining, not sure how many are actually sold though.

You never know until you ask though, i'm sure many forum members just have a box of them gathering dust, so using them to mine on CKPool just for fun makes use of them at least.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for older SHA-256 Bitcoin miners, not Scrypt.  :)

not worth having to procure more USB3 hubs - the power supplies for the ones I bought all died already and the USB 2 hubs I picked up before those had died as well...I"ve got a bitfury 200GH(ish - since mainboard is dead... should be running around 400 GH) that would be more better suited for solo-ing...if I can snag a new m-board for it (which is unlikely), I'd definitely turn it on for solo mining

I'd love to buy your old USB miners to mine at CKPool, but I understand if you don't want to part with them. I have a Antminer U3 which runs solo, and I would never sell it since its my only miner have now.

Thank you for the offer but i'm located in the UK, so unless there is a great bargain on international deliveries at the moment it is probably not worth the cost.

If postage can be found for relatively cheap, I am willing to pay plus a tip for your time  ;)

Sadly being a miner in the UK is hard but can get a few good deals if you can travel around, I'll keep an eye out for stuff for you and I'm always looking for bigger miners to

Cheers,

Yes it always seems to be a bit more of a struggle. I'm just watching the forum and sites like eBay just in case someone posts some for sale not at an outrageous price.
