I'm looking to sell some of my BFL FPGA Singles:

9.5 BTC per Single, which includes:
 - FPGA Single (768-896 MH/s)
 - Power brick with US plug
 - USB Cable
 - USPS Priority (2-3 day) shipping to the continental US.  Shipping anywhere else will be extra.

All units sold.

I can accept BTC (9.5 BTC) or Dwolla ($1100); I'm currently having some issues with PayPal so I unfortunately can't accept them. (apparently selling mining hardware is now against their terms of service - see my post here)

I'm okay with escrow, provided you pay any escrow fees.

PM/post if interested.

Thanks!

Bitmit is an auction, dwolla is "buy-it-now" in ebay terms.  I'm continuing to sell them for $1k+ so I'm going to keep my pricing, sorry. Wink
5 unclaimed, 9 units pending (potential of 14 remain if all pending deals fall through haha)

I'm curious as to why anyone would buy any of these.

I have one and it pulls in not even 0.04 coins a day and it's dropping all the time. You'll never make back the could you spend on it.

Source?  (I don't doubt you, I just can't seem to find an authoritative source for it.)

All units are now either spoken for or listed on eBay; last auction scheduled to end Saturday night.  None available assuming all those orders complete successfully, but I will cancel ebay auctions for reasonable (look at the prices they've been selling for) buyout offers.

And the trade-in value is $600 ($599? idk, but definitely not $699) and the trade-in period goes until June 1st, 2013.
I've confirmed that with BFL multiple times; you can trade in 2 units for a 50 GH/s miner or 1 for the 25 GH/s miner.

Thanks, Mitty.  That does seem to be the general consensus.

Congrats on the sales!

Did some FPGA to ASIC upgrades myself, paid 1299- 600 + 88 for shipping = 789$
So trade in is 600$ to be exact, can not find a source atm.
BTW just noticed the 60Gh/s miner turned into a 50Gh/s miner for double the money  Undecided don`t know how they tread new Upgrade orders now.

They'll let you trade in 1 FPGA toward the 25 GH/s miner for a $600 credit, or 1 or 2 FPGAs toward the 50 GH/s miner for a $600/fpga credit.

This is from an email from BFL to me:
Quote from: Email from Butterfly Labs
2 [FPGAs] toward the 50 gh/s and 1 toward the 25 gh/s model.


1 [FPGA trade in] for every $1200.00 spent.

So basically you can trade in 1 FPGA per $1200 you spent on 25 and 50 GH/s BFL hardware.  I don't know if they'll let you trade in FPGAs for the 5 GH/s miners.

50 GH/s miner cost: $2500 - $600*(1 or 2 FPGAs) = ($1900 or $1300) + (1 or 2 FPGAs), per unit
25 GH/s miner cost: $1250 - $600 = $650 + 1 FPGA, per unit

Note this is only for new orders... you will still get the hashrate you paid for on order(s) placed before they changed the price/specs. :p

(Btw, I'm in no way making an official announcement.  I'm simply stating information that was presented to me.  I don't work for BFL or have any relation to them other than being another number on the preorder list, haha)

@Henchman24: thanks! 

As for the original topic;
I actually still have one more available.  I forgot about the broken BFL sitting in my car, packaged up and waiting to be sent back to BFL. :p  I'll use that for a trade-in and sell one more of my working units.

There is no purchase button for that trade in link. There is no trade in option listed under products either. I contacted BFL twice and asked them if they were still allowing trade ins. I did not get a response.

Oh, yeah I don't know then, I'm also trying to get in touch with them for another issues and I haven't gotten a response either.  They did reply to one of my messages about 3 weeks after I sent it though so I'm guessing they just have a huge email backlog.

And all BFL's are spoken for/listed on eBay.  I have one deal for 2 units that should be going through on Monday so I'll post here if that falls through.  eBay auctions for those who are interested:
