You are going to wait until they have shipped before you collect? I ask that because that is not "proof of ownership", a jpg snapshot of an order...

Are you one of the many who "got a refund", and thus, that order is not actually valid?

Just asking. I am not interested in paying 2x more than the existing price, for a device which may come in two months, or a year, or ten... But to those who may actually be interested, that information about actual proof of "current order standing", of "an actual confirmed order recipient", would be more bennificial than a photoshopped and altered image of a screen-shot, which is worthless as "proof". And who is "John"... and since it is YOUR sale, YOU should pay... Why would you demand WE pay for YOUR sale? It is not YOU who needs OUR trust, it is the other way around, my friend. Your expense.

[Hiroaki]

I think his terms sound fair: (I guess you mean John (John K.) ?)

Escrow through John
Buyer forwards bitcoins to John
Seller forwards package to John
Buyer pays for escrow service
Seller pays for both legs of the shipment
Auction terms can be changed as long as the Seller and the Highest Bidder agree to the changes
I reserve the right to cancel the auction before the deadline

just the price

Its mine for 30 btc

[bitpop]

I would like to have the escrow expire in October just in case.

[investr]

Congrats bitpop! You win. Yes, I do mean John K. My next step is to contact him and inform him of this auction and its status. In regards to the escrow expiring in October. That would mean either I have not, or BFL has not, delivered on product yet, correct? Sounds fair to me.

[investr]

Hey bitpop, John K just informed me that he is overseas and unable to take the package, hopefully he will pop in here to confirm this. I'm sorry about this, I guess I should have asked for his service before starting the auction. Think about what you would prefer to do, I see the options as (a) I send directly to you and John K still escrows the bitcoin, (b) we find another escrow, (c) cancel the auction. I'm open to suggestion.

Confirmed.

[investr]

John suggested the steps from diego1000's thread if he is to escrow, and it looks good to me:

1. Winner sends BTC to the escrow address.
2. When I get the BFL unit, I confirm to escrow and winner, and I will take photos/videos of unopened package.
3. I will pack the entire box (BFL inside original packaging) in a new shipping box, taking care to not break the original packaging.
4. I will send the unit to the winner.
5. Winner confirms to escrow
6. Escrow releases BTC to me.

NOTE:

A) Winner pays 2% fee for escrow
B) I Will pay the ship cost
C) If unit arrives damaged, buyer gets benefit of insurance
D) If unit mines, but is damaged afterwards, buyer deals with BFL directly

[bitpop]

I have a little hesitation on whether I'll be getting 25 or 30 ghs.

I may have to ask you pay the 2% and we move the expiration to August 31, 2013. Butterfly will have had A YEAR to ship.

You can send directly to me or not. I don't mind. I'm a very old member and trustworthy.

[investr]

The August deadline is fine, but you agreed to pay for the escrow service within the initial terms and bid (as I had agreed to pay for shipping). You should be getting 30 GH/s since that is what the order is for, and BFL has mentioned adding chips/units to fulfill the original orders.

How about we split the escrow fee and call it a day?

[bitpop]

Ok deal

[bitpop]

John please post escrow address and we will use this thread for updates.

[bitpop]

I will pay 30.3 BTC.
Investr will pay 0.3 BTC.

I either get the miner or 30 btc on August 31, 2013.

[cchan]

does the bid end?
august 31 is fine, i can also follw.

[investr]

Auction is over. Bitpop won.
