Title: [closed] [WTS] So... I herd u liek BFL Singles - Rev 2 (non-heatpipe) available!
Post by: rjk on June 20, 2012, 03:57:53 PM
SOLD

So I have this 2nd gen (non-heatpipe) single that has kind of been thru the war. I'll probably be keeping it (nope, selling it now), but if you guys are feeling rich I might am selling it. This one has been featured in a video and immortalized in crappy pictures of mine. It runs the 872 firmware reliably, but the higher ones don't seem to work without throttling.

Tell me what it is worth to you!

Notes - has been taken apart a few times, and might be dusty from running for several months. Stock bottom fan broke when I set it down on some stuff while it was running, so I have replaced it with a crappy smaller fan that I had laying around. Pics:

I have been assured by BFL that as long as the device works, the fan issue will not hurt the trade value.

EDIT: Selling now. SOLD

Aha, yes that announcement really did send prices tumbling off a cliff. I saw in another thread someone offering $650. Far cry from the 150, 160, 175, 190+BTCTC that was being asked and paid just a few weeks ago.

So what does everyone else think? What's the true market value of a used Single these days?

I think it is a slight over-reaction at the moment.  Even an optimistic assessment puts the ASICS at the end of the year, AT BEST.  That leaves 5 months to mine with the single, and a salvage value of say $300 at the end of the timeline. 

If prices panic much further, smart money should buy.

i will +600$ to this. ;p

They still maintain the value that at upgrade time, each single will grant a 50% discount on a purchase of $1200 dollars of new gear.

Mainly, I'm on the fence as to whether to spend $600 and upgrade later, or get ~$600 now and quit. Of course, if I sell for BTC I'm also gambling on the price per coin later in the future.

aye, atleast 600$ later also nets you any coins you mine in between now and later.

Its closely related to what a GH will be worth over the next 12 months, and good luck predicting that!
Actually, its closely related that the biggest fools will think a GH will be worth over the next 12 months, which is probably a lot more than its actually worth. My advice: get some of these people still buying mining bonds to make you an offer  ;D.

Tell me what it is worth to you!

I think my price of $799 is pretty good. I'm selling units, but it's not so low that everyone is immediately buying them all (e.g. I have a few offers for $750 for all). It seems like a good balance.

Your unit is a little worn, but it seems to work and that's all that really matters. It really only has to last until next January-March. :)

OK, I've decided to sell. Fjordbit, do you still want it for $799, or does anyone else want to renew their offers?

I think he was referring to his sales thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88526.msg984728#msg984728 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88526.msg984728#msg984728) which I forgot to leave feedback on.

Would you consider a trade for JTME stock?

Sorry, no trades. Looks like Philj has it at $725. Philj, PM me your info.

Sorry about the sudden end on this one, I confused it with the Jalapeno pre-order thread that I also had running, which ended at noon. However, I do need to sell this soon, so Philj still has it at $725 unless he wants to wait longer for another bid.

Sorry everyone about that!

no worries. I'm not likely going to bid over his $725 at this time. cheers

I paid between 150 and 175btc for three Singles just before the ASIC announcement. Damn, that was a terrible move.

I paid between 120 and 140 BTC to BFL for the singles I still haven't received. If I had only waited I could have got singles for fewer BTC and faster. The whole bitcoin world moves so fast in so many directions, its easy to look back and find dumb moves that seemed smart at the time.

+1 for USPS, I have rediscovered their service and have started choosing priority mail for almost everything now. I sent that on Saturday and it got there Monday for less than $20 or so. Epic win.
