Evening all,
First post and all that, but have been following this thread for months now,
Do we know of the possibility of a group buy being set up? or is that out of the question.
I currently run a number of Spondoolies-tech SP3x series and would like to keep buying their kit due to the unrivalled build quality and form factor.
Kinda a guessing game when buying second hand kit.
Regards
Alex
I would
LOVE to setup a group buy, as I think that is the only way I would get my hands on one of these machines. The problem is that 1) without a published price, it would be impossible to arrange 2) without having all of the group buy participants and money together, SP won't acknowledge that I want to place an order and give me the necessary information 3) without SP giving their approval, I can't even say that they will sell to me if I did get 15 buyers together who wanted to purchase.
It appears the impression is that the units will sell for between 30-45K each and will be available in Q1 of 2016. I would say if there's genuine interest among a dozen people who have that kind of $, I would love to host a group buy. Unfortunately, I think it would have to be done blindly for the buyers, without knowing the actual price until all the BTC is collected and a deal has been made with Spondoolies.
In short, if you want 1 of these units, have ~$40K sitting around, and want to pledge it for a group buy of one of these machines, feel free to drop me a PM and let me know. If there were a dozen people, I think it would warrant a conversation between myself and Spondoolies.
As mentioned, jtoomim would make for a great choice to host a GB as well, and I would be interested in joining that if it were made available also.
