Bicknellski K1 Nano USA group buy interest

[bigbeninlondon]

So I'd like to gauge interest in doing a group buy for Bicknellski's K1 Nano.  

Here's the order page:
https://bigpicturemining.com/klondike-miner/k1-nano

Here's the bitcointalk thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251831.msg2674532#msg2674532

Notice on the order page that if 50 or more are ordered, the price is $65.  

If we can get 50 Nanos ordered, I'd buy 2 myself, and would ask for 2 as part of organizing the group buy.  

At $65 per, the total order would be $3250.  Divided by 48 would be $67.71.  Shipping would be by USPS First class (unless otherwise requested)

Shipping would be 83.61 from Bicknellski to me with a handling fee of $4.95; so that would bring the total to $69.55 each before escrow and shipping to you. (which is better than ASICMiner block erupter).

Willing to do escrow with John K if he's willing, and would price his fee into the purchase price.


To re-iterate; I'm just looking for interest.  If enough people want to do this then I'll create another thread for the group buy.

Looks good. Good luck if you decide to start a group buy.

If the Group Buy goes forward, the best I can assume, that these will be delivered in late September/October timeframe ?

From Bicknellski's thread:

There seems to be a small window of opportunity to provide K1s from August to the end of September given the market forces pushing on bitcoin currently

Would be nice to get in at the end of August, and hopefully receive by late August/Early September.

I would do 2 to play around with.

That makes 5.  Progress!

Is there anyway you can get him to go under .5 BTC?  I think K1's would be best at sub 50 dollar.  I can understand his reasoning for not doing it, i thought that was direction K1's were heading long ago.

I vaguely remember Bicknellski saying something about large buy orders talking to him about pricing; so maybe if we get enough interest we could approach a number resembling $50, but that's completely up to Bicknellski, and honestly I don't think $70 is a bad price. 

I'll reach out to him and see what he says.

Thanks its just with BE's in stock now, and at least 2 difficulty changes before we would get them i hope it goes down.

If the price does go down, considering timeframe / difficulty / BE's, I'll be in for 5-10.  If the price goes down.    I work for a group and our cutoff for buying BE's is fast approaching at the current price / difficulty, so the advertised pricing on K1's rules them out for sure in a month+.

[Bicknellski]

Let me know how it goes.

Anything over 100+ or more were are open to negotiations.

Note we are priced in USD so if the bitcoin rises can be even cheaper.

We will keep everyone updated on our progress. Of course our first runs will be limited in number but ramping in September we can cover more orders. First in first served. We are also monitoring pricing and the availability of chips in terms of production of Klondikes and other offerings.

I would be interested in 10 or more if prices could be around the $50 range.

hope you can get enough interest, good luck

[Unacceptable]

As said by others,you get it down to $50 or so each,I'd go for about 4-5 at least 

At $69,still an ok deal,may still be interested................

[bigbeninlondon]

It looks like so far, if we can hit the price point of $50 (before shipping and escrow), we've got between 27 and 32 possible units in our group buy.

I'm in discussion with Bicknellski to see what we can do if we have 100 units.  I'll let you know as it unfolds.

If we can get to $50, would that increase interest?

[aoshea]

Keep us posted, I think the $50 pricepoint would attract more interest.

Depending on shipping date.   But agreed!
