Is there any way I can pass on the controller and save a few bucks?
What's the situation with Escrow?
No skyhawk. If I start splitting the price then its going to be an issue. Escrow can be done. John K is reputed ,..he charges 2% of the transaction. how r u planning to pay?

Is that possible? All sorts of reports of the instability of the supplied controller going around....

As you know this GB started only for the miner, no accessories . But since you and all buyers were ordering 10 pack and needed the entire kit. I kept pestering the seller to do that, so I hope u understand that I cannot make changes now. But I am sure we can work it out in some way. Check ur PM

No worries at all.
the controllers aren't horrible, mind you, but they are not great either. They've been getting the job done for some people, but the general report on them is to ditch for something else.
Your price is still head and shoulders above what else is out there, and if you're in Canada, even better.
I would still like you to confirm and itemize what you provide in the kit on your opening page, though. That would be nice.

Yes Dyland I have that in mind, and remember that you have asked me to do so. Will do that.

Yes, a clear itemization of what I am getting for my money would help with my confidence. A nicely itemized page like atari02's would go a long way for this group buy .
The pictures you added are very helpful and were a great confidence builder.
I want to buy from you, you seem really eager to start a reputation. Just need that little reassurance that I'm doing the right thing.

Yes I am looking to get some reputation. I am able to offer such prices as I am quoting you the same price as of the seller. Thus GB is just work. And yes the pictures show the miners with my name so that u know that the I have secured the seller. And as usually the pictures in gb describe these miners are not in my hand. They r with seller and we have reached to a confirmation that he's going to allot so many miners to me. The reason for this is to save on shipping. Like the seller ships to me and I ship back to u. And I have added the accessories kit details below the payments table. If you need a picture I can get that too. Any queries ,suggestions and doubts please feel free to ask.

Unfortunately this buy no longer makes sense for me, as most of the cost of the accessory kit is junk I'll have no use for (powersupplies, controller). I was initially interested due to the expected cost of $205CAD per miner.
I think I'm going to have to bow out. Best of luck!

Any reason why you can't have a Miner only offer on the table as well, Karan?

Any reason why you can't have a Miner only offer on the table as well, Karan? I did start the GB for just the miner. But then there were requests for controller, accessories so I got the best price for that.Assuring the seller that most buyer want 10 packs and he needs to give us a better price. May be the next GB we can make it as an option. Cost of accessory kit is not junk. The power supplies you are getting are 35 dollars on newegg. Il PM skyhawk once i get a seller for individual miners.

You won't please everyone.
Here's the thing:
At $205CAD per miner people who have some technical acumen see the value because they will source the extra parts themselves-probably totaling about $225CAD per miner if they need all peripherals in the first place.
At $228USD per miner, this is about $250CAD per miner, with accessories that quite a few people find less effective than sourcing on their own.
Anyway, I don't want to go around collecting stuff and prefer a package, so I'm cool with it. But yeah, next one, we should have a strategy with peripherals.

Yes dyland I understand. And the thing is it was 205 cad + shipping. And the one we have now is with shipping. Thus the extra money.
