This thread is for the discussion of the up coming auction for 2 x BFL Singles in-hand in Australia, starting bid 0.098BTC. Details of the auction will be finalise here before creating a 7 day auction in the Auctions board.
Feel free to post your questions or interests here.Description:On auction, are two Butterfly Labs Singles (advertised 50GHs each) in-hand in Sydney, Australia. Real world hashing rates are ~60GHs each. Their advertised power consumption is 300W each and I have yet to measure the power at the wall.
Items will be shipped as shown in pictures. That is, no casing, screws, brackets, cables, PSU or other fans are included in this auction. Modified fans have replaced the originals. They are in the same state as I received them. I did not make the modifications. Appropriate packaging will be used to ensure safe delivery of devices.
One Single has sustained physical damage (as shown in pictures). Its two power connectors do not have the locking latch and two white connectors have been bent 45 degrees upwards. As far as I can tell, there is no impairment to the device's hashing capabilities. The highest bidder will get the non-damaged device.
Starting bid:2@0.049btc (total 98mBTC or 0.098BTC)
Bidding increments:1mBTC (0.001BTC)
Auction rulesPost your bids in the Auctions board when it's up. Prices must be stated in BTC per device. You must state the max number of devices you want. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their devices shipped to them the next working day via Australia Post Express Post.
I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. In particular, bids from people with less than 15 activity points are likely to be rejected. I recommend not getting into a bidding war with someone who has less than 15 activity points, as their bids might not be accepted, but your latest bids will still stand. If you need to know right away whether someone's bids will be accepted, PM me.
So if someone bids for 2 devices @ 1 BTC and this is the highest bid, then he'll get all both devices. If the two highest bids are 2 device @ 2 BTC and 1 device @ 3 BTC, then the first person will get 1 device and the second person will get 1 device.
The notation "2 @ 1" means 2 device for 1 BTC each. Not 2 device for 1 BTC total.- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically cancelled.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 1mBTC (0.001BTC).
- The bidding starts at 2 devices for a total of 98mBTC (0.098BTC). e.g.
2@0.049- I will end the auction at a [Date & Time TBC]
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his device first.
- Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify both a price and a max quantity, or if they could not possibly win any device.
If these rules are confusing, look at some of the past forum ad auctions to see how it's done (

DeliveryFree and is posted via Australia Post Express Post on the next working day after receiving full amount in payment address (or escrow confirms).
If you do not want this posted within Australia, do not bid for this auction.
If the postal address is not on the Express Post delivery network, expect delays in delivery if you win the auction.
