Came across 20+ miners, help?

If you got two of them that work I'll buy 'em off you for the museum shelves.

All 20 units are in working condition, if anyone would like to contact me about purchasing anything feel free to text
REMOVED PHONE

I suggest emailing him your phone number if you are not able to PM yet.  I cant remember if you can PM or not at beginning.  But I personally would not leave a phone number up.

Also where are you located can i ask?

Were these ever profitable? Even back in Dec 2013 ?

Yes and no.  The first people that got them it was a massive amount of power.  Were talking about a time when a BFL 60 single was huge.  To have 500 was massive.

The other side of that I have seen people pay more for the miner then they ever mined.  BFL was not good at getting products to customers on time.  If you watch the bitcoin documentary I think its The Rise Of Bitcoin.  It does a good job showing someone who bought one.

The only July 2012 65nm preorders that were really profitable were the jalapenos.  BFL shipped only a very small number of minirigs at first; claimed there was a problem chaining them together and eventually offered customers the option to get 8x singles instead.  The very first to get singles and the absolute first to get little singles and mini rigs might have just barely made profit.  This is mostly due to paying for them when btc was ~15$ and not receiving them until mid or later 2013.  Jalapenos shipped far before anything else; which is very similar to BFL's recent "refund the small orders first bs".  BFL had opened paypal preorders in September 2012.  These orders BFL shipped before many BTC preorders as PP started to get on them about no delivery; these buyers made the largest profit from BFL as they paid with cash or cc despite ordering 2 months after the majority of BTC preorders.  It is sad how shitty BFL handled the whole thing as the BFL FPGA Singles were great; and it would be nice to have a good American miner company.

If you sell them what are you looking to sell at?

I was recently given 20+ Butterfly Labs 500gh/s mini rigs (Bitforce 500), and I was wondering if they held any value?
They each have 2 1500 watt power supplies I could scrap and sell individually, but are the units as a whole worth anything, or are they too obsolete?

Dont scrap it yet, sell it on ebay as a whole. There are still people buying Butterfly Labs ASIC due to its historical value.

Where can you watch the "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin", can't find it on youtube or on the web anywhere.

[Fireblade]

You should have them in November 2013, back in then ther where 10k+

I'd run them if I had dirt cheap or free power 2300W though is brutal for 500 GH/s.
