It seems like a pretty reasonable deal to me.

My feedback thread: Forum thread
Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

eBay is a nightmare for dealing with non-physical items. I can't imagine the trouble when you sell something that's not even an item!

Not a good deal.

I had to guess some numbers, I didn't find the duration of the "contract", or the Watt per GHash.

He's probably reselling a Cloudhashing contract -- who start their payouts in September when the KNC rig goes live. After December, 20 GH/s will be a lot less profitable than in these crucial first few months of September-November.

Moreover, Cloudhashing has a revenue reinvestment programme to keep their contracts profitable for clients -- and the seller is not passing this on in his offer.

So no, not a good deal at all.
