Yeah, it sure is refreshing knowing some people are even more paranoid than I am... it almost makes me feel normal... almost.
Heh, seriously though, given your mention of the Italian community I was hoping the DC was somewhere in Europe and I was going to ask if I could do the deal in person to mitigate the escrow issue, but that side of the pond is no good for me.
Unfortunately i decided not to ship the units to my home since that i was afraid of having to pay the VAT, to have customs issues and of a big energy costs. Iceland (thor datacenter) was even more expensive. I'm sorry if it's a deal breaker for your but i understand it. Thank you for your interest.

Where is this datacenter?
The datacenter is in LA. I will not provide the name of the datacenter because it's relatively small (even if in business since 2006) and i'm afraid that with some social engineering you could gain access to my account.

Downsides of opening a thread on the auction section: i cannot change the title. The starting price is 150BTC, not 125. I'm sorry but i think i will write a lot of corrections as time goes on.

Avalon announced that the unit cost of their third batch will start from 90BTC (67GH/s + Power Supply). I'm auctioning 5 units i have from the second batch starting from 150BTC each. Given the cost that Avalon applies to their third batch, i believe the opening price of this auction to be fair. What is unfair of this auction is that i don't want to use an escrow. Selling this order, with the inability of changing the destination address, is a mess by his own. Using an escrow would make it almost impossible from my point of view. Each unit will go for his own price, you can bid for the Avalons individually. In case a single individual bids for the all of 5 with a winning price, we can consider to use an escrow. The escrow will have in this case to release the founds right after the units arrives at the datacenter i'm shipping them to, i can route the control of my account with the datacenter to the escrow that will route that to you after releasing my founds. This is only viable way i know of using an escrow in this auction. (I cannot sell parts of my account to several people). In case the units are purchased by more than one single individual, i will keep control of the account and give you access to the avalon so that you can point it to the pool of your choice. In this case you will have to pay me 100$/month via BTC since that i will pay the datacenter costs for you. I'm not interested into reshipping the units, i will keep control over it. I don't want to pay the datacenter to ship the avalon to you and you claiming that you received an empty box.
About my identity, you can check my username online, i use it from years. You can add me on facebook and ask my friends if they know me, you can send something at the postal address listed on "cedivad.com" to see if it's really me receiving whatever you send. I can let you VPN into my pc while i login to MTGOX where i have a verified account (they verified my residential location). All of this stuff is possible. If you have other ideas, let me know, i will evaluate them (if you win the auction and refuse to proceed otherwise). I know a few people of the italian community personally since that we do a monthly meetup in Padua, you can ask them about me if you want to.
So, summing it up.
If you bid for all of 5 the units: -We use an escrow that will take control of my account at the datacenter that will receive the shipment and route that to you once that he verified that the avalon are in fact there.
If you bid for less than 5 units: -We will not use an escrow and you will have to find other ways to verify my identity and trust me with this (let me say it) shitload of money. -I will let your avalon online mining as long as you keep paying me 100$/month via BTC. -Once that i receive your founds you are free to have your unit shipped to your home from the datacenter.
Auction ends 5 days after batch #3 orders opens. Late offers will extend the auction time by a minimal required amount, so that late bidders can bid.
Have a nice auction.

The only think that annoys me is the delayed batch 2 shipping time. Please good of all basics, allow my order to be one of the firsts to ship!
|
|
|
Intelligent question #1: How many units per day are you actually shipping, and how many do you plan to ship in the next future? Plus, what's the status of the first batch?

62$...
Prevedi ancora un tonfo nel futuro? Si, ma prima prevedo cifre assurdamente alte...

as stated before its first come first serve when the open the flood gates.... does anyone have inside or other info on when batch 3 will open? Ive been sleeping with my phone in the case i do get the email in the middle of the night (daytime in china).
You don't have to be so radical, you will have a few days of notice. Just keep your btc ready.

The op contacted me privately a few days ago about the avalons I'm selling, so he is legit IMO. He is simply too much greed for asics that he will probably be scammed.

Check with a proper accountant. I pay 16% on BTC income which is not bad at all compared to the usual 60% we're forced to pay on other activities (eg. being employed in a company).
%60? I work in a company and I don't get taxed %60.. hell not even the highest tax brackets in the US get taxed %60. Are you a slave? try to come to italy ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) 60% is rather good here. And yet they still have to confiscate a portion of Italian's savings accounts despite the insane tax rates. We have one of the bigger private savings in the world, with a low percentage of private debts. They need to find a way to really crash our economy.

30'000 BTC to buy to hit 100$. That's "bruscolini", something tiny. Short term, we will hit 100$. What will happen after?
Isn't it logic to except to see massive dumps from people that bought < 10$?

Non capisco però le tempistiche, se piazzo un ordine ora, quando m'arriva la macchina?
Probabilmente tra più di sei mesi, quando non sarà più competitiva. Approfitto del tuo post per sottolineare la strategia di vendita di BFL, sembrano essere diventati una gigantesca truffa dove la loro unica preoccupazione è guadagnare più soldi dai preordini fatti dai nuovi utenti come te presi tramite la pubblicità di quandi non ne devono rimborsare ai loro vecchi clienti stufi di aspettare.

Why does this stuff always happen when I've gone to sleep?
China is leading the rush.

I'm surprised by the quality of your design and i'm usually hard to appeal on website designs. You did an amazing work.

C'è poco da prevedere, ma in caso qualcuno avesse qualche dubbio, stiamo andando velocemente per i cento dollari (e i 90 li tocchiamo sicuro secondo me). Cipro + FinCEN = valore > 1 miliardo.
