[WTS] BFL Monarch SHA-256 Mining Cards

[qberty]

I've got the biggest shipment of Monarchs in Canada! Woo! I don't want them. They take up too much space and I don't like having all my eggs in one basket. Selling for $100 each @ 600 GHs/700 GHs in BTC / PayPal.

I'm based in Canada, so if you're in USA the customs won't be much of a big deal. Shipping included if you're from Canada, otherwise you pay for shipping. These Monarchs are liquid cooled bitcoin miners that Butterfly Labs started offering last year.

First 5 people to order will get the overclocked versions for free (extra 100 GH/s). I'm also selling the BFL recommended EVGA 1300 Watt power supplies with them as well for 200. If you buy in sets of two i'll give you the power supply for 175.

I don't have time for escrow but i'm open to it if you are a quick responder (I sell a lot of tech daily that I get in bulk).

Couple of pictures of them in-hand:



I'd show some pictures of the massive amounts of 1300 W PSUs I have but i'm sure you don't need proof of those existing.

What's an 'overclocked' version? Even at stock 700MH these things get hot enough to be unsafe.

These overclocked versions are just the more expensive ones, that come with an extra heatsink and mini fan (that sticks right over the VRMS). All done by BFL before they sent it. These do not get that hot. There liquid cooling system is closed loop, and they are pretty small and quiet (until you put a lot of them together).

These cards are pretty much useless, since miners that are far more powerful are on the market.

They are not useless for people who dont pay for electricity. So, you're essentially wrong. We all get it, if it isn't bitmain it isn't realistic ROI, but whatever here they are.

I might be interested if the price was more attractive. I am also in Canada. What province are you in?

These require a Raspberry PI to operate correct? They are what 0.70Watts/GHS ?

I'm in Ontario. They do not need a RPI to work specifically, they can plug right in to any computer. The price can get better the more you order. If you order a lot of them, I can lower the price per card.

I need a better price. At the current price its priced exactly like an S7 but without the low efficiency.

I paid $75 Canadian for an S3 recently and looking for a similar price with this product per $/GHS.

You're honestly not going to get such good efficiency for the low price you're looking for. Granted, the monarchs may be a bit above average, but selling soo many of them at such a low cost would make no sense. It really all depends on how much units you want in total. I got em for 250 brand new, haven't even had the time to plug 'em in. You're not really going to get any miner for more than 100 dollars off their own retail price. But again, the more you buy the better price I can give you.

You bought them brand new at 250 and are selling them at 250. Granted I also bought my s3's at 75 including shipping. And also picked up a bitcrane for about the same. I really think you should rethink you pricing a little bit. Since they are no longer brand new.

You can almost pick up a SP10 or 20 for those prices.

Nobody wants an SP10 or 20 for those prices. These are still brand new, hence the 250 price tag. The only reason I got them that cheap is because of the bulk order. Sure if someone wants to buy out my entire bulk than yeah I can give them a cheaper price. But logistically there's no real reason to lower the price, especially now, especially for those who dont pay electricity, especially for the price I paid for them and having not using them.

If I lowered the price, then yeah people could order individual ones, but that's not the drive for this thread.

You mean this one that sells for $189? What a great deal!!!

Anything BFL related is always a rip-off, new or second-hand.

You broke your link, and yeah that one. It's a great deal if you are getting a lot of them, and have to deal with customs. I know most of you are very close minded about pricing and how it works in other countries that isn't your own, but in Canada is sucks. Compensation is hardly competitive, and if you wanted over 10 PSU's from amazon, you're gonna have a bad time.

I don't want to be too much of a spoiler here but you will probably need to come down on pricing if you want to sell, or try ebay or craigslist for better results. Almost everyone here on this forum is trying to make a buck off someone else. Everyone does ROI calculators, and it is hard getting power for free nowadays. Everyone wants more of their money. It is capitalism.

0.35 cents per GH here for monarchs (1.4GH/watt)

0.17 cents per GH on another thread for SP20s (1.5GH/watt)
0.40 cents per GH on s7's someone has (4GH/w)
0.36 cents per GH on some s5's (1.9GH/w)

In all fairness the power supply price is pretty on par with amazon and newegg.

I fully see what you mean, but others would clearly see, this is the best you'll get with the amount of ready to ship products I have. Sure you can get a couple SP20s for 0.17 C/GH but can you get 6? 10? 20 of them? I have a lot of monarchs here and 0.35 per GH is more than sparing for those that want a big amount. But I fully get the society here on this particular sub-forum. It gets this nasty on almost all forum marketplaces. But this thread exists for everyone that isn't a "get an S7, done" type of human.

[adaseb]

I understand what you are trying to say. PSUs in Canada are very expensive, especially ones over 1000Watts. They are like $300-400 at MemoryExpress.

But with todays massive spike in difficulty please consider reducing the price. If the price is right, I would buy some.

[Riley600]

I think you have overpriced these some.  I'm not sure you'll find a buyer that's looking to purchase in large volume but maybe?  I'd be interested in picking up one (I'm in Canada too and it's relatively hard to find gear here) but you'd have to adjust your price some. 

I'm not being nasty, just stating my position.

To be fair, the answer is yes, the price is so high you can get bulk purchase from expensive resellers at that price range, or even cheaper. For example you can get S3's for 180$, which would be a much better deal and you can get tons of them. And the retailer is in Canada too. They even drop their price to 200CAD every other month per S3's.

At that $/GH their overpriced S5's would be about the same $/GH, but better efficiency.

Still, you're the one selling the hardware, not us, so what we think does not matter, if you can find a buyer anyways.

Antminer S3 for $180? That's expensive.

Now like I said, i'm not totally ruling out anyone that wants it for a cheaper price. Honestly i'm trying to satisfy a bulk order before I go selling them individually. Notice how you won't see people selling monarchs or in this volume for that matter. Regardless of the statistics, they are well designed, sustainable machines with literally no maintenance required (unlike every single bitmain product, every single KnC product, and every single GaW product. I have at least two of almost everything, and BFL tops in design, stability (though the company has shafted all it's customers, the product itself is exact.)).

Now if you guys want a lower price, buy more than just 2 units. Otherwise, I just lose money rather than just keeping them and start mining with them. I don't *need* to make a profit of the sale of these monarchs as this bulk order for me opened up my line of communication with some other ventures, but I sure as hell want to stay away from a loss. Neutral is fine by me.

If you guys want some, let me know how much (if its over two, AND is a multiple of two). I only want to sell these in twos because otherwise it would make this really awkward (with the way BFL designed these things).
