[WTS] 2x Icarus FPGA Miners (mine with them or trade in for Avalon)

[shibaji]

The trade in assumes there is already existing batch 2 order, right ?

That is not my understanding.  All I can tell you is what they told us:  Back during the chaos of the Batch 2 orders website being unreliable, they told us to not worry about making batch 2 orders on the website.  We were told that custom trade ins orders would be created as the FPGA devices arrived at their offices and that they would be fullfilled in addition to the 300 or whatever "normal" batch 2 orders they accepted.

Again, I can't promise that they will actually honor that process.  The uncertainty and risk here is one of the reasons I am selling these FPGA devices to someone else instead of just directly cashing in, myself, by getting an Avalon (which at today's difficulty makes something like 7-8 BTC per day).

In that case, it is likely that they will at least cross check that whoever is sending in the order, they were indeed the original owners (since this seems to be an honor system). In that case, why don't you send in one for me, I will pay you 10btc for 1, and then the difference in price, and then again additional 10btc (or more) if things work ?

Would you agree to that ? You lose nothing and keep 10btc if the process falls thru, and may be just send me the icarus if that is returned back to you with additional shipping that I will pay to you ?

Let me know - this route seems safer.

No thanks.  I am not interested in taking on the responsibility and challenge of shipping these back to China.

At this point, I fully intend to let the auction run to it's natural conclusion this evening.  Bid if you are comfortable, or don't bid if you are not comfortable.
