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

[Lucko]

All right, I did not received any response from Friedcat up to now!

 

He must be busy...

So I will move forward to let the buyers have a safety option to obtain the Block Erupter USB at the new price.

I will prepare a new version of the Trader's Book to be able to handle the new pre-orders. Since the last time I messed up with some pre-orders, this time the new Trader's Book must help me avoid that mistake.

I will open the new Trader's Book by the weekend.

Isn't UK part of EU? If so you can't have a GB...

But Augusto can make GB and buy items from yxt. Cheaper if buy more.

<..>
1 unit 1,19
>=10 units 1,09
>=50 units 0.99
excluding shipping
DHL parcel within EU: ~15€
registered priority mail, worldwide: ~6€

precisely the thing we need to do

that .19 makes a massive difference if looking at ROI

plus buying some of these cheaper WILL overall reduce the cost of the original purchases - my two have returned 0.4 BTC since recieving them and setting them off to mine so i still have a long way to go to recover my 4.2BTC originally spent but if i buy two more @ 1BTC each the overal cost for USB miners will be 6.2 BTC and i will have doubled my hashrate... not that the ROI will be much shorter!

Augusto, any news?

Augusto, any news?

Well... Bad news.

First, I am sorry for the later response. I have been giving up time to let Friedcat respond the message I sent to him last week. There was no response whatsoever...

So last night while I was browsing the forum I came across this announcement:

This is the information thread of sales for our Block Erupter USB sticks.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217104.0

Temporarily Out of Stock
Please ask for stock information to our official resellers. Currently all USBs in stock of our place are either placed as orders or reserved for resellers. We will process existing orders, but not new ones, till our stock is refilled by our factory.

Due this new situation I am not going to open a new Trader's Book. I think few traders have already ordered many units as possible after the new price announcement and Friedcat was caught by surprise. That could explain why he did not answered the message which I just required to know if I was part of the new deal offered by him.

Since I do not like to create false hopes I will only move forward to a new trade if I am completely certain that I will receive a product to re-ship to the buyers.

I am really sorry for this situation because I would appreciate to offer to my loyal buyers the best service available so far in this forum to acquire Block Erupter USBs. I was made aware that other traders do not run a transparent business like I do. There was one buyer from my group which told me there is one trader overcharging for costs which are not likely to incur. There is also no trader offering compensation plans or refunds as I do.

So here come the good news:

This week I will pay back all buyers which want to receive the promised refund, including the buyers which were affected by my mistakes. I am also ready to replace 3 dysfunctional units for 2 buyers.

 

That is it for now.

OBS: I will be here anyway for guidance and advice if necessary, so if you wish to have a casual conversation about the ongoing trade of Block Erupter USBs, just drop me a message!

Only Friedcat.

I did not contact any reseller because that will incur more fees in the final price per unit. I want trade for a low price and less fees as possible to offer a good deal for the buyers.

Refund process in action!

 

Sorry for the delay, I slept in front of the computer:

I just want to be sure, refund is for overpayment or for delays? Both?

It is for both!

Hi Augusto,

There is some talk going on the forum about previous Erupter buyers being able to buy another one for just 0.1BTC. Can you please investigate ?

Cheers

Yes, I read a post where this was said. Look like I am the only trader which did not got involved in some kind of shady negotiation. I really wish that is not true, otherwise I will be very disappointed with Friedcat. If Block Erupter USBs come to be sold for 0.1 BTC before the warranty period finishes, this will be very unfair for my buyers.

I will investigate that as more information comes in.

This should apply to all buyers! Not only to those which chose to get later in the race!

I think their objetive is just to protect last buyers, who bought at 0.99 just before price droping. They learnt from previous drop (at our cost), at least they fixed it and now they're doing it fine.

Augusto have you noticed friedcat about it?
any response?
