[CLOSED] Block Erupter USB @ 0.20 BTC + parcel -> Shipping to anywhere!

[yxt]

Do not worry
I will certainly not be present with a BTC bill @ customs

[augustocroppo]

I'm wondering if you are able to fill the 300 orders in the remaining week until friedcat takes orders. It seems the #units went down considerably with two big buyers leaving - propably due to open erupter blade sales. I cant understand the low ordernumbers myself since this seems the most professional group buy to me and maybe the only one in europe where you will get your sticks delivered at all (personal opinion). As much as it is a pity for europeans, luckily for me I could switch to the recently opened local pickup groupbuy where the pickup point is only 5 minutes away from me..
I would still stay with my order here if there is any real chance you can fill the orders in time?

Thank you very much for the support.

Yes, one buyer left because the order in my group buy is not increasing fast enough to compete in the auction. The another buyer decide to give it up the Block Erupter USB for the Blade due the price and delivery time.

I must admit that even being as fair as possible with this trade, the price of the Block Erupter USB in relation to its processing power is not really attractive.

Let's see how the other groups are doing:

Yes, I got it.

I am sorry for the lack of confirmation... 

[DanBUK]

Can you add =SUM(F20:F9999) into say cell C3, so we can see the total on pre-order?

Doh! I'm blind! Thanks for that!

Still a good few short, what's the time limit? Is there a Plan B?

Yes, I will try to bargain for an order with less than 300 devices. I presume that ASICMiner will not refuse to sell a product if there is a reasonable number of interested buyers.

bump, 3rd page is no good

[minter12345]

Woah, someone put down for a hundred.  That's a serious amount of cash.

True!

By the way, I am preparing a service agreement and I will send the invoices for payment before Friday. So get ready to send the funds as soon as possible. I am confident that even if the group do not fill an order of 300 units I will be able to close the deal with ASICMiner.

One more time, I am really sorry for the lack of continuous communication... I am still learning PR skills.

Hey A+C,

Can you get friedcat to confirm on this thread that he will accept your order even if it is less than the 300 units required.

Also, do you think you're charging enough to cover import tax?

Cheers

This is an excerpt from a message I got from Friedcat:

(...) Now it's OK and we will think of a proper way for smaller quantity and at the same time not making the shipping fee too much a portion (free shipping is always guaranteed as we promised).

(...)

Before close the deal I will review the fee to cover the potential customs clearance expenses. I will include this in the service agreement. I think I will assume the liability of any extra cost which could incur in the customs clearance.

Whoa! I think you are overreacting... Did I even ask you any funds? No, I did not. Different from other groups I will only request your payment once I am completely sure Friedcat have the product ready to ship. I am not playing the "investor" with your Bitcoins, right? I am very serious when dealing with people's wealth. I am working my best to ensure that every buyer will receive their pre-orders.

[Tranz]

I'm interested in this as well.  Looking for 5. but I am also in the other USA thread too. So whichever looks to be filling faster..

Very interesting, I did not expected that would be like that. Personally I was expecting a crude design with the heat sink shielding both sides of the "sapphire" PCB. That is far from what I projected in my mind. I am quite happy that now the buyers can look at what exactly they are acquiring.
