WTS: BFL 5 GH/s ASIC miner

Will it make 26BTC over the useful life of this device?

Let me get in my time machine so I can check my crystal ball!

It is mining over 0.2 BTC per day right now, so if difficulty doesn't change (HAH!) and you have free electricity (DOUBLE HAH!) you'll break even in 4 or 5 months.

PS: best offer so far is a private offer of 26 BTC plus shipping.

Not really.   I personally would only go 18 BTC myself for this specific unit at this time because I would like to see the payoff in less then six months.  Someone else might be willing to go out to a year for payback.  I would go higher if I did not have my own BFL product coming already.

Oddly, original BFL FPGA singles are still going for basically purchase price in USD and that is after a year of mining.

It is a ridiculous price but with the current BFL situation it makes sense to price it that high. Desperate folk (or rich) will definitely purchase it.

19 BTC

So, ever who offered you 26btc would pay 312btc for an in-hand single? That's just crazy. I know I don't have my order(28xx) yet, but feel it's close. I would definitely sell my single for 312btc. Hell, I would take 200btc no questions asked. Honestly, I might even take 150btc with it still in pre-order stage. I hope I get the thing soon because I would be dumb not to sell at these outrageous prices.

What happened to your deal to trade the Jalapeno to Yifu so he can see if it's really 65nm?

at that ROI better to buy some fpga's

also could be damaged/worn out

FPGA = higher electricty cost.  Not an issue now, but in the future this ASIC will still be profitable, the FPGA's won't be.

Sold!  (I hope)

Two offers over 26 BTC, best offer was 30 BTC.

Those of you calling him greedy for asking market rate are greedy for wanting him to price it below market rate.  If you don't like the price, move on and stop whining.
