That's it!!! nothing more, nothing less.  

Group #14 is open: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260971.0

.94 per device plus costs (read Pricing section below).

For orders of 50+ units, contact me for a quote.  orders of 50+ are handled privately, unless you request to have it publicly posted.

For orders of 2 units or less, you'll get a better deal here: http://eligius.st/~gateway/products/block-erupter-sapphire
I fulfill these and they are usually in stock.

Please take a moment to read this ENTIRE post.  New Pricing model, make sure you understand it.

I am 4 miles from a MAJOR DHL hub that receives these orders from China.  My delivery times are the best.  packages sent to me by ASICMiner are in my hand the same day they enter US.  They do not take an extra day or two to travel the country to get to me.  It costs you 0.01 btc per USB miner each day you do not have them in hand.  It takes me 11 minutes to drive to DHL when necessary.   My location is in a major metropolitan area next to a LARGE international airport that is a hub for shipping for all delivery companies.  This gives me access to DHL, FedEx (also just 4 miles away, open till 9 PM for next day shipping).  I have access to several Post Offices around me.  I can ship USPS till 7 PM.  I ship to you the same day I receive my delivery.  Simply put, I am in the best position geographically and logistically to receive an order and to get it out to you ASAP.  Period.

This is the THIRTEENTH group buy I'm organizing. The first one completed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195647.0 The second completed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217981.0 The third completed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219422.0 and the fourth one completed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=222960.0 the fifth completed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=226656.0 sixth, seventh, eight, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth can be found here on forums

Pricing:
Here's a webpage to assist you with ordering: http://www.bitcoinpokerblog.com/canary/GroupBuy13.php

The cost of shipping is 0.09 bitcoins for orders of 10 or less.  USPS Priority Flat Rate shipping is free for orders of 11+
You can upgrade to USPS Express or FedEx.  you need to contact me for a quote based on the # of miners you wish to have shipped (weight dependent).

Domestic Insurance:
Now optional.  Be aware, if you choose not to pay for insurance, you absolve me of any liability or claims for lost, damaged etc... packages.  In other words, buy the insurance.  I just got a kick ass rate and am very happy to extend it to you all!!
 
Insurance cost is $2.40 for up to 10 miners ($1000 of declared value).  This is 0.028 btc and the minimum if you are adding insurance.
cost of insuring each additional miner beyond 10 is $0.24 or 0.00282353 btc.
so for 11 miners for example (N=11), cost would be (N*0.00282353)= (11*0.00282353) where N is the number of units ordered.  If N is less than or equal to 10, then the insurance cost is fixed at 0.028 btc

Handling and processing is a flat rate of .10 btc per order.  (this pays for a hired person, yes, this has created a small job (for now)   )

so for example, if you order 10 miners with insurance, the cost is:
.94*10+.09(shipping)+.028(insurance)+.10(handling)= 9.618 or 0.9618 per miner.
if you order 10 without insurance, the cost is: .94*10+.09+.10= 9.59 or 0.959 per miner.

if you order 11 with insurance: .94*11 +0.0(free shipping) + 11*0.00282353(insurance) + .10 (handling) = 10.47105884 or 0.95191444 per miner.
if you order 11 without insurance: .94*11 +0.0(free shipping) + 11*0.0(insurance, i'm not responsible) + .10 (handling) = 10.44000001 or 0.94909091 per miner.

Note, local pickup is no longer available for orders less than 50 units.

Ordering:

Communication:
I live in Chicago (CST time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours) and have a day-job that allows me ample time to devote to this endeavor. I do sleep at night, so if I don't answer at night, please be patient.  I'm pretty open and transperant with info.  I post it as soon as I have it, I do not withhold from anyone.  Please respect everyone's time.

Cheers,

refund.
if more is collected than necessary, the difference can be sent back to shareholders.  however, if it's a few btc i won't bother and will use the funds to pay for the operations... this means that there will be more going out to shareholders as a payout.  funds would sit in a segregated wallet with shareholders being able to see balances and transactions on blockchain.

I have no control over that.  I will let everyone know when BFL ships it.

Yes it will

Reserved for a future post

7/21/13: CLOSED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST. please don't post in this thread.

I'm thinking about putting my 25% off voucher from BFL to purchase a 500 GH/s Bitcoin Miner BitForce 500 GH/s Mini Rig SC which would put the price at 22,484.00*(1-.25)= 16863 plus shipping, (which may be based on the original price so it is $798.00), for a total of $17661 or at the current mtgox rate of $89.35 it is about ~200 btc.  I reserve the right to modify this before the unit is purchased in case btc fluctuates and we are short to pay BFL (deficiency would be spread equally among participants)

Assuming that a received device is running at 90% (spec) of the 500GH, that leaves 450GH/s available for calculations...

I'd like to sell 90% of 450 which is 405GH/s / 200 btc as shares. so it is 2.025 Gh/s for each share @1 btc.

I'd run it as long as it's profitable/operational in a climate controlled environment.  profitability depends on operating costs (electricity mostly but could include necessary maintenance, repair etc..). and would be taken out of mined btc at cost.  btc payout weekly.  decisions can be voted on based on % of share ownership.  once it is no longer profitable to operate, I will keep the hardware.  those wishing to sell their share to someone else would pay a fee to transfer the shares to another person (2%).

is there any interest? If so, please send 1 btc per share to 1LhsEySjkqYuY7JrDSFkFa2zgvnQGN2H96
there are 200 shares per device.  if this sells out quickly, I may run sell another device sale since the 25% discount does not appear to be limited to a single device, rather to a single order.

if this does not get filled up, I'll refund the outstanding orders.

P.S. if the hashing rate is higher than 450, the difference will be applied to each share owned, for example if it's rate turns out to be 475GH/s then 427.5 GH/s will be available for the 200 shares at 2.1375 Gh/s per share.

No reservations are taken.  You need to send payment to own the shares.

Ziggy,
the last message you PM'ed me verified, so you must have gotten some good help from your friends!!
I'm sorry you've had all this trouble with sending a message which is exasperated by your partial blindness... your order has now shipped and I also included a gift for you that is bitcoin related but you can actually hold it and feel in your hand...
Thanks,
Canary
