I think the right thing to do would be to sell these miners at break-even instead of trying to make a profit. At break-even you have a chance of selling them.
These miners are already expensive as-is and you are adding more cost, you probably won't get a sale.
Bitmain apparently has huge supply of these S7 miners, so there isn't a shortage hence it doesn't make sense to increase the price.
it is as close to breakeven as possible (within $100-150 - a small gratis for me ordering them a few weeks ago and providing instantly with no wait).
Why exactly I cannot make a $100 profit? It's kind of a bizarre thinking.
for example, I don't know, maybe you will turn it around and sell on ebay the next day for $300-800 more, which I think many do with no qualms whatsoever.
So, i am not allowed to make $100 in order for you (hypothetically) to make $400 instead of $300 on ebay?
Miners ordered today will come in 1-1.5 mo, which is maybe 1-1.5 BTC later, so prices make sense to me.
I have a feeling that you want them, but don't want to pay, but it is NOT how it works in life.
I don't want to get into a large argument. I am only making these posts to help you get a sale.
You need to understand basic supply and demand if you want to be successful at buying and selling things.
You can only increase price if there is massive demand for something, you can't when there is massive supply which is pretty much what you are doing.
Difficulty is sky-rocketing so you are trying to panic sell. Bitmain lists gear almost everyday at much cheaper prices. There is huge supply of these S7 out there.
Stop using eBay as an example because we all know selling miners on eBay is very risky where someone can buy it, mine for 44 days and then say it broke. Which is highly likely for a miner such as the S7.
If these don't sell in a few days, lower your price to break-even, if they don't sell after then even sell it at a small loss.
so now you are telling me why I am selling and also helping. Thanks, bud, your help is appreciated.
