[WTS] 1.8TH/s BFL Monarch Preorders

[crazyates]

I have a pre-order for 3x BFL 600GH/s Monarchs, placed on 2014-01-02. I'm placing feelers out there if anyone is interested in buying them. We can do a BFL order transfer from one account to another, or I can ship them to you after I get them (you pay shipping).

BFL has always produced top quality products. I've been a customer since their FPGA days. The most recent update reports that their chips are currently meeting or exceeding power consumption estimates, with 0.45W/GHs at the chip level, which puts them right on track for a 350W power draw from each 600GH/s card. This makes them the most power efficient miner available. Unfortunately, and quite quite expectedly tbh, they've ran into delays, and I'm in need of the coins now. I have a few earlier orders that I'm not selling

I believe they said that they were on track for shipping in April, but my word on that is not law. At any point, you can request a refund for the purchase price, and they will refund you in USD. Yes, you can ask for a refund from an order that's been transferred to you, in spite of the fact that you didn't pay BFL for it. You still own that order, and the right to refund that order. Because of this, I won't accept any less than 90% of the purchase price in BTC at the current Coinbase amount, otherwise I'd just get the refund and cash myself. If no one buys them in the next 7 days, I'm going to issue a refund and get the cash myself.

So to summarize:
Great product
Extremely power efficient
Delays are too much
Need coins now

Let me know if you're interested!

How much you asking for them?  Obviously they will be later than what BFL claims.. but they do make stable miners.

Gimme an offer? The retail order is $6,376.

I don't know what BFL was promising for a shipping date, but they just announced it will be pushed back about 5 weeks. They had a problem with the chips they received.

Chip Delay
The initial batch that we currently have in hand is not suitable to ship to customers. This is due to a problem in a top metal layer of the chip that prevents some engines from initializing when the chip is first powered on. (With ASIC design, there are a number of layers to a chip; most of those layers are in silicon, but the last few layers are in a special type of metal. Subsequent batches were held in wait just prior to the metal layers so that we could affect any necessary changes and proceed with chip production from that point, drastically reducing the time it takes to bring a new batch of chips to life.) The problem was positively identified and the fix is already in progress; however it will take approximately 5 weeks before we get packaged chips in hand, meaning the deployment of the Monarch will be delayed about 5 weeks from now. The specific date is still being determined, but I wanted to get an update out as soon as possible.

Reduced Price Orders
Individual orders that are less than 6 months old and that paid for the reduced price 600GH or 300GH Monarch will likely not be delayed past the expected delivery date.

Initial shipments were delayed, but future shipments weren't drastically affected, so it doesn't affect this order. Estimated shipping time when I bought this was April.

Has it been 6 months for you? I hope you get your refund..

It's been like 5 lol. Just shy of the cutoff. I have some other orders that are being upgraded to the Imperial, but these 3 aren't. They were purchased at the discounted price.

If I don't sell them by Wed, I will prolly ask for a refund. That takes a few weeks, so I'd rather sell them here!

Last chance before I request a refund this evening!

[crazyates]

Sooooo I requested a refund, and BFL said I can't get a refund cuz these orders aren't more than 6 months old. 

That means I'm putting these back up for sale! If they're held for longer than 6 months without being delivered, they said I (or anyone who holds the order) can request a refund. This means the order is still worth at least $6,376.00, although I would be willing to take less than that to have the coins now.

Send me a PM and let me know if you're interested!

What is your price for just one of them?
Is it below what they are charging for them now on their website?

All 3 cards were purchased at the same time, so if you're looking to get the order transferred, I don't think I can split it.

I can transfer the entire order of 3, or I can keep the order and ship 1 of the cards to you when I get it from BFL. If you want to go this route, please PM me and we can work out the details.

I paid the same price as what is listed on their website. I'm looking for close to what I paid, but I'm not demanding a 100% $=$ purchase. You get a discount, and an earlier ship time, and I get my coins now (when I need them). Win-win!

I offer 0.0000000001 btc

[monsters4r]

Unfortunately for you the Monarch is today SUPER overpriced.

You're lucky if you find who pay more than 3 btc each.

But .... good luck
