WTS 5 miners with triple HD 7970

[arobincaron]

I am selling 5 miners built from the following parts:

Case: Antec 100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129183
PS: PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 950W High Performance 80PLUS Silver http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003U29C40/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
MB: BIOSTAR TZ77XE3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138355
CPU: Celeron G530 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116409
Memory: G.Skill 4GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231253

3 of the miners are built with triple GPUs: Visiontek HD 7970 reference design http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129204

The other two miners have a Sapphire HD 7970 OC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102982 and dual Visiontek HD 7970 reference design http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129204 ).

Parts were purchased less than 6 weeks ago.  All have generous manufacturer warranties.

All are running BAMT 0.5 with CGMiner 2.7.4 off Patriot Xporter XT Boost 8GB Flash Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220252

All the hardware is in new/excellent condition -- less than 6 weeks old. They mine at ~ 9.5GH/s. I can ship the miners as built or using all the original boxes (shipping will be a bit higher this way).

I will entertain any reasonable offer for the miners as built. Parting is an option I'll consider later.

I do not have a high post count/reputation here but I've been on ebay for > 10 years with an excellent reputation (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=arobincaron&ftab=AllFeedback

What's your starting prices

[superfastkyle]

One month ago he was new to cryptocurrency, now he has over 9 ghash for sale, without any pics even...interesting

[k3t3r]

just over 1 month ago

I'm new to cryptocurrency but I am very interested.

Here's a picture:

I have > $1700 in each miner.  This is all quality hardware is in a turnkey configuration. Please make offers accordingly.

Thank you for your consideration.

[superfastkyle]

hmm wasnt expecting you to actually deliver, I guess I'm just a skeptic. Why sell now? they are nice systems but there's probably no way you'd even break even at this point.

Build 5 miners for $8500. Mine about $1500 worth of BTC in 6 weeks. Sell for anything over $7000 to make a profit. Sounds about right.

Let me Know when you want to start selling some of the cards out of them

  Now where are the offers?  Is everyone down on GPU mining?

Yes. Exactly. It takes about 3 gh/s just to make a btc per day. Things are getting rougher each week.

If I'm correct the value of 1 BTC is a little more than double what it was a few months ago.... and maybe that has something to do with the higher difficulty?

Yes. Exactly. It takes about 3 gh/s just to make a btc per day. Things are getting rougher each week.

Sure. You are correct about the price.  diff... Well.. I am not sure.
But what i meant about rougher each week is not only diff going up... Soon rewarrd is getting cut in half, asics may soon start to arrive, and price is not guaranteed to match raises in diff. In dec we may have 8-10 btc price instead of 12. We might have triple the diff and only price of 13. Things are going poorly for future gpu miners as i type this.

I would like to buy the rigs but i will not insult the seller with my very low offer.... He can do better on ebay.

only takes about 2700Mhashies for 1BTC per day

I'm not even worried about ASICs at this point.  BFL has a very bad record on delivering on time, ASICs probably won't come out till next year.

The other thing about a block halving is that people will drop out of mining.  This will lead to a drop in difficulty and therefore you can profit again.

everything in the short term to me is leading up to more stabilization of the price because all these events are predictable but not on specific dates and times and happen slowly except when the block will halve when it gets close enough we'll know

well if no one else is going to post a public offer i can offer $1250 for one rig. i would request an escrow because of your lack of reputation.

[arobincaron]

Where are you located?

I am in USA -- North Carolina.

[arobincaron]

Thank you for your offer. It's a low bid and I am motivated to sell.  Unfortunately I cannot accept because of the cost of the hardware.  Also consider that you are getting tested, working and with known performance miners. When I started building this setup I had no idea how much work it was going to be to get working hardware and build the scripts (BAMT v0.5 does not work with HD 7970 not later builds of CGMiner), and stabilize the hardware configuration.

For others who maybe considering this: escrow is fine with me -- I don't have anything to hide.  PM is fine too.  Once deals are settled I will update this thread to indicate sales.

Happy day!

I live in NC too if you want to part out......

Why don't you post what you are expecting to get for each rig? Otherwise it turns into a bunch of posts trying to lowball you and draw you out.

[yochdog]

I will offer my standard $.55 per MH/s 

approximately $5,225 for the whole set-up

[pazor]

hey yochdog,

how big is your mining farm?
can we get details of your mining operation?

At that price I'll keep mining with it :-) Thank you for the offer.

My offering price is $1700.  Make me reasonable counter offer

Isnt that close to 80% retail?

[420]

The question is, how long have these parts been in use mining? When were they purchased. Forgive me if that was mentioned later, but I don't see in the OP

[arobincaron]

The question is, how long have these parts been in use mining? When were they purchased.

The oldest parts were purchased less than 6 weeks ago.

Thank you for the question.

Pushing 70 GH/s

Comprised of roughly 2/3 GPU, 1/3 BFL singles.  Most of my GPU's are 7970's, with a few 5970's and 6950's sprinkled in. 

[pazor]

thank you yochdog for the details.
nice setup !

[AndrewK]

I sent you a pm

[arobincaron]

I've decided to keep mining for the near future.  Thanks to all who sent in offers.
