Hi guys,
just a quick update, things are starting to roll, I've already got blackheart13's payment.
Quakefiend420 will probably use an escrow.
I'll contact Michigan colo to give them the list of the units to ship to each one of you in the afternoon (my time).
Best regards.

sp20 will go down to 10$ but s2 will not because of the psu  Ok, I've just sold a bunch of PSUs then...  spiccioli |
|
|
|
i'll be a dick and say: it should be a minimum bid for a miner(the psu can go for 50$ or more...)
Consider a new SP20 goes for 480 USD. Sadly mining hw becomes a pricey brick so fast! spiccioli |

Hi,

Thanks
Ok, answered. so: - 1 1Th unit to adaseb - 2 1Th and 2 900 Gh ones to blackheart13 - 1 850GH and 1 800GH one to klondike_bar 2 units remaining, please quakefiend420 tell us if you want them. Regards spiccioli |

klondike_bar 2*800GH@.20
please reach an agreement between you and let me know.
spiccioli
done. Im sending a PM now to see what we can do about shipping cost/method So we have: - klondike_bar bid 4@.35 as void since it included shipping, which cannot be included in such a low bid - adaseb, two out of three bids void, he takes just one 1TH unit at .30 (please adaseb PM me you name surname and address) - blackheart13 4 at .25 (please blackheart13 confirm to us you still want your 4 units) - klondike_bar wants 2 800 GH units at .20 (whithout shipping) Let's see what blackheart13 decides before letting anyone step in and/or going down the list. Regards. spiccioli |

If any of the winners drop out, I'd like to say that I would pick up their bid. I was one of the ones waiting to place at the final minute.
Yeah I'd say I'm in for the same thing. Heck I'd have done 0.37-0.4BTC for a 1TH one (not knowing shipping is always hard, an originating zip and shipping weight is always nice!). But I've witnessed a lot of auctions on this forum, and they rarely go as planned. Not really the best medium or framework for such an endeavor. As things can go south fast if an "auction injustice" is perceived by any non-winners, best of luck to spiccioli on figuring this all out! Put some hard guidelines out there how you will proceed and include deadlines if buyers don't come though, and stick to it! All you can really do. I'm trying to be as fair as I can. It is difficult though because of language barriers and time-zones. I've never made a world-wide auction, even the idea of "today" has to be clearly defined which is something you don't think about until after you realize that "today" means nothing on global scale. spiccioli |

obviously things are complicated slightly by the fact that the auction was effectively 3 different categories
That's why I wanted to sell them as a lot. But since we're selling them as single units we can also say: adaseb 3@.273 (.3+.27+.25)/3 blackheart 4@.25 klondike_bar 2@.20 It means adaseb gest the three fastest units (and pays a little more to have them) blackheart the following 4 (2 at 900GH, 1 at 850 GH and 1 at 800 GH) klondike_bar the two at 800GH but let's be honest, where can you buy a 800GH unit for 44 USD? Guys, for me it is the same, I won't retire on a tropical island after this auction, so, please reach an agreement between you and let me know. spiccioli |

wf7
wf9
wf11 (at 1TH)
wf4
wf8 (at 900 GH)
wf5 (at 850 GH)
wf3
wf6
wf10 (at 800 GH)

Ok, no winning bid for the whole lot, all bids for the whole lot are way lower than bids for some units, so we have this:  These are the bids and the units (and I hope I've not made errors here as I did with time zones ...) I'm not sure about klondike_bar since he put lower bids after a while, so if his higher bid is still valid, he won the first 4 units, followed by adaseb with 2 and blackheart13 with 3. Otherwise, we have adaseb with 2 units, blackheart13 with 4, adaseb again with 1 and klondike_bar with 2. adaseb bids have an OR between them, I'm not sure he wants just one for each speed or 1 overall, in which case things change again and we have adaseb with 1 unit, blackheart13 with 4, klondike_bar with 3 at .20 and 1 at .17 Please klondike_bar and adaseb tell me what is your intention. As soon as we know klondike_bar's and adaseb's answer I'll ask winners to send me a private message with Name and Surname, so that I can forward it to Michigan colo with the number of units won (faster units will go to higher bidders). I'll then send you, through a PM message, a bitcoin address where you can pay me, after I get your payment I'll authorize Michigan colo to ship the units. Thanks. spiccioli |

So you changed the end of the auction last minute to be earlier while I was asleep? I think you kind of screwed yourself as I probably wasn't the only one who was going to wait until near the end to place a final bid...
I'll take however many units I managed to get at .16 though.
EDIT: and if anyone backs out of theirs, I'll take more at .2 as well.
Sure, this whole time zone thing completely blew up in my face. Anyway, there are valid bids for all the units, I'll post results in a couple of hours as soon as I'm back home. spiccioli. ps. yes, new they were not cheap, like any other money-printing machine since the first asic was made. |

So is the auction officially over?
Yes, it is over. spiccioli |

Holy sh...  spiccioli At least the first message of this thread is correct and states February. spiccioli |

Three more hours from now, if I'm not wrong. Check here, http://time.is/UTC. Once the time reach 12:00:00 the auction end. Correct, my fault I'm not used to think in 12 hours clocks, I'm sorry. I originally wrote Friday, Jan 5th at 12:00 am meaning the midnight of Jan 5th going into Jan 6th (Friday). But then I've found out that for people used to 12 hour clocks my auction's end was at the beginning of Jan 5th and not at the end of the day. So I've decided to end it between the beginning of Jan 5th and the end of the same day, which is Jan 5th at noon 12:00:00 UTC (plus any extension if there are late bids). I hope it is more clear now. spiccioli LOL. Now you even confused everybody when you said January. Its February . Holy sh... spiccioli |

New bid:
I cover the shipping to canada (and the duties on arrival) at the (approximate) rate you provided on all the below bids:
3x1.0TH @ 0.20BTC ea
2x0.9TH @ 0.17BTC ea
2x0.8TH @ 0.16BTC ea
I would suggest bidding go in this format, otherwise highest bids and down get the miners in order of performance.
I was going to give fastest units to highest bidders, but this way of bidding is more clear. Regards spiccioli |

Hi,
it seems the way I've phrased auction's end is prone to misunderstandings.
I meant this to end tonight, Jan 5th, at midnight UTC (entering Friday morning).
But having written 12 am it sounds like auction is already ended.
So, I've decided to end it midway, today at noon ( 12:00:00 UTC in 24 hours format ), if someone posts a bid between 11:55:00 and 12:00:00 UTC it extends auction by 5 more minutes.
I hope this does not make anyone angry.
Regards.

just to get this auction off the ground:
4 units @ 0.35BTC each, shipped to Toronto
Well, at your previous offer of 1100 USD for 5 units shipping costs could have been included, but at current 0.35 BTC shipping is, as I wrote in first message, to be agreed upon with Michigan-colocation and paid to them. Regards. spiccioli looking up some basic rates it seems like at 18"x18"x7" and 38lbs each (can someone confirm - sounds correct) its about $600 to ship 5 of them with DHL to Toronto, Canada. If the weight is 20lbs that price is closer to $400. Its possible other couriers can do it for cheaper (USPS can go to around $100/unit) the shipping price is an obvious issue - if you can find a way to ship it cheaper than $100/unit I will bid 0.20BTC each and cover the shipping 18x18x7 is the same dimension I saw on Amazon's site, even weight is the same. I have to ask Michigan-colo if they still have original boxes, though. I don't think weight can be as low as 20lbs, from dogie's test they are 18kg which should be around 39.7 lbs https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=518205spiccioli |
