The 4th REVERSE AUCTION for 2500 Avalon chips from zefir's group buy

[ASICME.COM]

We want to get 2500 Avalon chips from zefir's group buy in this auction.

This auction is a reverse auction, but it doesn't need the seller's escrow as in the 1st auction. John was asked for this auction escrow service, and we pay the escrow fees.

We offer the start price at 0.165 BTC per chip, and we will send enough bitcoins to escrow address soon. The escrow contract are the same as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd auction, and John will update it in this auction post when he is online, so after this post the auction is active. The escrow address can be found in the 3rd escrow contract:  163ChSQ6nK3iduYYUbsz7C4cYfQHQC9Urn

To bid, please post your price, the amount of the chips and which group buy, and a message with your bitcoin address associated with your chips in the group buy to verify the ownership.

The quantity for your selling should be at least one entire transaction in your group buy.

The auction will end on 02/07/2013 at 23:30 h UTC.

Every valid bid placed during the last 10 minutes extends the auction for another 10 minutes (counted from the timestamp of that respective bid).

We will consider the chips' ordering time first, the price of the chips if they're in the same group buy, and lastly consider the 'buy in' time if the chips are from the same group buy and the same price.

When zefir asks for the shipping address, the winners should sign a message to provide our shipping address to zefir and CC John and me at the same time. After zefir ships the chips and we receive the chips (which should be proven by the tracking/and or Zefir himself), we will ask John to release the coins for the chips to the winners. If the winner does not ask Zefir to ship to our shipping address, John will post out those who break their promise of the auction.

Happy bidding.

[John (John K.)]
