Title: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: thedreamer on March 21, 2015, 02:48:51 PM Anyone notice the huge drop in their pricing over the past 3 days?
They went from averaging $600+ to around $450 now. I even saw some go for less than that. Any clue as to why? Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: henriquelb on March 21, 2015, 02:51:45 PM If someone have some spare coupons I'd love have it. :)
Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: adaseb on March 21, 2015, 02:52:35 PM It was never $600. I think the highest was like $410 and then dropped due to dropping BTC and slow sales.
Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: buysolar on March 21, 2015, 03:00:37 PM They are under $200 now.

Where do you guys see them for under $200!?!? Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: philipma1957 on March 21, 2015, 06:03:12 PM I was talking Ebay on line. Where do you guys see them for under $200!?!? Hell yeah under 200 is very good for an s-5 as I have never seen them below 357 shipped from bitmaintech to the usa. Factory direct china to usa shipping included was as high as 469. wait until march 30th for shipping I think it is now 387 shipping included to the usa.----------------wait until march 30th for shipping Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: thedreamer on March 21, 2015, 06:05:25 PM I was talking Ebay on line.

Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: opentoe on March 22, 2015, 07:05:07 AM I wonder if the first batch of #5 will start shipping this coming week? Bitmain has made it clear when he posts he mentions that he usually ships prior to their "shipping date". I wonder if that was a ruse for a good sales pitch or has some truth in it? I guess we will see. It would be nice to get a surprise at the door this week.
Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: sidehack on March 22, 2015, 07:08:17 AM The $177 per miner is just the 50% deposit. You'll have to pay them another $177 per miner before they'll ship (in about three months), so to compensate you for the tremendous wait you get a whopping 4% discount.

They are the only manufacteurer currently selling and they can sell at any price they wish.
$320 or $420, is still overpriced with the shipping and custom fees.

Looks like my order date was "2015-03-10" Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: thedreamer on March 23, 2015, 01:48:54 PM Anyone have any coupons left?
Although we'll probably be seeing them flood the forum and ebay for cheap prices and not have to worry about customs/shipping form out of the country. Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: philipma1957 on March 24, 2015, 03:25:29 AM Anyone have any coupons left? Although we'll probably be seeing them flood the forum and ebay for cheap prices and not have to worry about customs/shipping form out of the country. just let them play out. not worth chasing them right now. question what is your th up to? Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: notlist3d on March 24, 2015, 04:10:09 AM It seems to be a little different on coupons then it was. It could not be to many batches ago they gave them out like candy. It's been a while since Ive seen much about coupons on current batches.
I think the people who paid more on this batch got coupons, but since they did pay a higher price to get them they will chances are want paid for their coupons. Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: anshar on March 24, 2015, 04:26:22 AM Because mining is getting less and less profitable.

I think the people who paid more on this batch got coupons, but since they did pay a higher price to get them they will chances are want paid for their coupons. yes and most likely no one will want to pay much. 50 cents on the dollar is pretty much quite a bit. Some one mentioned that wanted that on a 54 dollar coupon. They had turned down a 0.1 btc offer which was around 27 bucks at the time I told them it was more then I would pay. I was willing to pay 20> I also told them they would be wise to take the 0.1 btc offered to them. The s-5 is getting long in the tooth. Margins are freakin tight. I do understand that they feel screwed by bitmaintech. I am getting tired of playing the game myself.

As far as buying if we know the coupon date it expires the better chance of getting a better deal. Until it gets close to ending on coupons a lot will want more then most will pay chances are. Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: valkir on March 25, 2015, 12:00:38 AM S5 is a really nice miner but loud and need some modification to be fully home miner.
I will buy every S5 for 200$ :P Wondering when the next gen come.

There is a long thread on the speculaton fo the S6 and still nothing.

I think a week is sooner then it will be. Is there really going to be a "S4+"? Would they not do a S6 instead? Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: bronan on March 25, 2015, 03:38:55 PM I do not think any miner can be profitable with the constant low price of bitcoin.
Even doing altcoins will not solve anything because you allways have to covert them to btc (trading costs which are extra losses) For me the time has come to stop mining at all, energy prices are way too high in the netherlands (0.29 euro cent kWh)without company prices. And ofcourse the import costs which are 21% taxes + import duties, so for me its no use to get any hardware. I do not have time to trade or hashle with trade bots, so end of story pretty soon for me.

There is a long thread on the speculaton fo the S6 and still nothing. They probably want to clear all there S5 remaining before publishing the S6 Would you like to put BTC on it? April 1st by the latest for S4+ June 1 for S7 .. No S6 to be released .5BTC on it to anyone willing to accept the bet. To be More Specific: In about two weeks they will be releasing an upgraded version of the S4, called the S4+, which has the same size/design specs as the original S4 but uses the newer generation of chips, for a higher hashrate and better power efficiency. They will actually skip the S6 model number, and the new S7 model should be available in June or July of this year. Hope this helps.... Give me my Money :) Title: Re: Recent Antminer S5 prices Post by: dogie on March 25, 2015, 10:08:44 PM Should we move back to the S5 thread?
