Thank you very much for all of the comments and offers for this set. I happy to announce that this set has been sold.
Mind giving the ending sale price? This could help gauge pricing on future similar offerings...  |

I wonder why none of the American customers hasn't sued them yet. Especially the guys who ordered Minirigs. That's some serious money.
Probably because the miners still make their value back in less than 30 days. If anyone successfully sued Butterfly Labs, what would they get? A full refund, at best? A partial refund at worst? So would you rather have $2,500, or a miner than can make $2,500 in 25 days, and then continue making money afterward? Have you heard of punitive damages? Sure. I very seriously doubt any punitive damages would be awarded in this case. It wouldn't make sense if every investment gone awry would be awarded punitive damages. |

CORRECTION: The MS66 is an October 2011 coin, not September as my memory had indicated.

Wow, cool. Someone other than me had some graded!  |

I guess people on eBay are either planning to scam, or just go for a higher premium because it's a decent way to convert USD to BTC.
people on ebay mostly dont know much about btc, but want to get started - quickly using a known site with known procedure, pay with paypal and get buyer-protection... its worth to them As a seller, I'd just be so afraid of someone mining with it for two weeks, then returning it. |

Just a quick look seems like that's the sort of directory I am looking for... |

Why is there no "mother of all websites" for retailed goods? It seems like it would be a fairly simple thing to do. Retailers batch-submit the goods they have for sale to a given website. The website tracks price, qty in stock, what the item is, and useful specifications, matching up items as appropriate via UPC barcodes or whatever other unique identifiers they might have.
I suppose what I am picturing is sort of like Google Shopping, but with categorized items (enabling browsing by category) that are retailer-pushed rather than bot-scraped. Sort of like the eBay of retailing. eBay + Google Shopping, then, but without multiple listings per item. Amazon sort of has the right idea, but everything goes through them, so if a vendor isn't set up to sell through Amazon, you don't see their goods.
As a consumer, I would love to have such a website with comprehensive, up-to-date information on who to buy from and what the best prices are. Why hasn't a project like this been undertaken?
How will you motivate the retailers to push their data? Sure, you could argue it would bring them traffic, but that only applies to the retailer with the best price. If 50% of the consumer base checks a massive website to find out where they should shop, wouldn't every retailer be clamoring to push their data to it? Certainly there's a mass-acceptance barrier to it, I am just surprised no efforts have been made on that front. |

How goes shipping?
I just got a ship notice for my two singles this morning...! June 23 order date? Yeah. You just ordered it last month! I'll just pretend that that is true... TBH though, I don't regret a thing. It's still an incredible return on investment. |

Updated.
Out of curiosity, are you guys receiving emails that they are shipping? Do they include tracking numbers? Or are they just showing up at your door unannounced?
Received shipping notification via email. BTW, order 6/23 #60215 has shipped and is on its way to my doorstep.  |

BFL are not in the EU.
BFL's CEO Nasser Ghoseiri lives in France. That probably doesn't count for much though. Germany != EU != France. He is not their CEO. |

Lol, this should be good. Let us know how that turns out for ya. |

I only have two graded 2011 (error) Casascius coins left. Looking to sell one of them and keep the other. These are graded by ANACS, and are the best two out of all I had graded (all the others were MS63 or MS64). The MS66 coin is an October 2011 coin, and the MS67 is a first-day coin. I consider both of these coins to be extremely rare, given their condition and the low quantities produced. 190 Casascius coins were funded on the first day of production on September 7, 2011, and 2,084 were funded in September and October 2011. For value comparison, the most recent graded coin I sold was MS64, and I sold it for 8 BTC. Selling for best offer. Post here or PM me.  |

talking about in-hand units and I dont know why less eficient ? I actually own 2 and they run A1
Not sure what A1 means, but 82Gh/s units in hand are going for 140 BTC? Ok, then I'd have to agree 173 BTC is too high for a BFL miner. I guess people on eBay are either planning to scam, or just go for a higher premium because it's a decent way to convert USD to BTC. |

avalon batch #2 82gh/s avg price 140 BTC
Also less efficient and some (many?) people haven't yet received them. |
|
|
|
cud say the same for 173 BTC  173 BTC = $15,000, and it sold for $15,000, so what's the big deal? |
