Hi, for those that doesn't know you can block ebay users here:
http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BidderBlockLogin
This is my list:
james_musacchio, truetina8401, typingmoon
They "change their mind" after they won the auction, by the time those cases were close the price of the usb miner was reduced and I ended up loosing money. I only going to use "buy it now" from now on (to require them to pay instantly)

My 2 cents:

I bought 84 for 1 BTC. Sold them all for $140+ ($3360 profit). I thought jeez, that was a good deal.... so I bought 50 more. ASICMINER dropped the price to .55, so I ended up selling all 50 for about $75 (a $1250 loss) because prices on Ebay had already crashed. Sellers beware. You might get stung by ASICMINER dropping the prices, or by the Ebay system... read on...

Ebay fees are so high, it literally ate ANY profit I had and I actually think I operated at a loss because of ASICMINER's dropping prices.

I even had one person file a case because I said in the auction it would run at 300+ Mh and his was only running at 275-295 Mh. He said he came on the forums here and someone told him they are supposed to run at 336 Mh. I wish I knew who told him that... after mining on over a 100 of these, that is the FASTEST a BE will ever run. Speeds vary (as I mentioned in the auction) as with any other mining equipment.

Anyways.. be careful about how you describe the item and its hash speed. Of course the guy that files the case mines on the damn thing for 2 weeks before he asks for a refund. I wish I knew his name on here so I could give him a piece of my mind. Actually, I gave him a piece of my mind in a Ebay case message. I'm probably getting a negative feedback.. I just couldn't help myself. If you are not happy with the buy, then send it back and ask for your money back... don't mine on it for 2 weeks...

So, I'm done with Ebay and BEs...

/rant

PS: Sorry canary, this is the only thread I knew about selling BEs on Ebay and thought others doing the same thing needed to hear these things.
I also lose money because of the .55 price drop, however I recovered my money (and made a profit) with the 0.1 promotion

Do we get a coupon for the miners bought at BTC2 or is it only for the ones that were bought at BTC1?

It does not take that long to corrupt someone - especially when you are throwing $millions around - hundreds of $millions.
+1 I think I'am a good person, but selling my soul for 200 million dollars seems like a good deal

Anybody knows where can i get a couple more Ankler hubs?, amazon is out of inventory  Sad

Those hubs aren't worth the price.  D-Link DUB-H7, $25 for 6 usable ports.  Sure, it takes more hubs... but your per-port price is $4.26 vs $5.55.

http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-Hi-Speed-7-Port-Powered-DUB-H7/dp/B00008VFAF

agreed, and the dlinks work with raspberry pi's, the ankers don't. 

Source: I have both.
The d-link hub ha the best price/performance because it supports 6 usb miners and a usb fan

A moment of silence for the guy who just sold ~2500 shares at 1/10 of the IPO price.
damn...

I think the 100k share / user max was WAY too high, I logged on at 13:08 and it said closed, 0 remaining.  20% to a single person is kinda outrageous.
+1 the limit should be 10k share/user
11  Economy / Securities / Re: [IPO 8-2-13] [XBOND] Bitcoin's Only Exchangeable Bond on: August 02, 2013, 05:15:25 PM

Canary how many usb miners (at BTC0.1) do I qualify for?

BTCGUILD has announced this:
"Since all other outlets are announcing this even though it was not supposed to happen until August 1, yes, USB Block Erupters are having a price cut!

USB Block Erupters are now on sale at 0.60 BTC per device (free shipping to US). A huge number of units are en route, which will clear the backorder, and leave roughly 1,000 units available for next day shipping by August 1.

If you ordered an Erupter at 1 BTC, all is not lost yet. A coupon program is being initiated by ASICMINER and distributed by BTC Guild. 30% of the units sold at 1 BTC will be eligible to purchase a 2nd unit for 0.10 BTC (+0.05 Shipping/Handling). The exact method of coupon distribution will be announced when coupon units arrive, which should be around August 5th."


I've setup #15 at .55 btc: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263577.0

regarding .10, I will follow the expected coup distribution, per manufacturers parameters.  Once it is available, those eligible will be notified with redeeming instructions.  Grin
Awsome
