Vintage Bitcoin Mining Lot: 18x Bitmain Antminer USB ASICs (Found in my drawers!

[dommy]

Hi everyone,

While cleaning out my old drawers, I rediscovered a piece of Bitcoin mining history from my early days. I'm offering my entire collection of first-generation USB ASIC miners as a single lot.

What's for sale:
 16x Bitmain Antminer USB ASIC Miners.
 11 x Version 1.1
 5   x Version 1.2 (with the taller heatsink)
 2   x Additional Bitmain Antminer (v1.1) as BONUS, I marked these two with a "??" years ago, so I'm unsure if they are fully functional. They are included for free, for parts or as a repair project.

Condition:
All 16 main devices were working perfectly when I stored them years ago and have been kept in a dry place. However, I currently have no way to test them with a modern setup.
The 2 bonus units come with the uncertainty mentioned above. Consider this a collector's lot for a nostalgic project or display.

What you get:
The entire lot of 18 physical Antminer U2 devices. No cables, no power supplies (they were powered via USB hubs).

Trust & Verification:
I am committed to a transparent sale. I am happy to:
*   Provide detailed photos of any specific device upon request.
*   Arrange a live video call to show you the items in real time.
*   For local buyers in Italy (I'm based in the Lazio region, near Rome), I can arrange a safe, in-person handover.

Price & Sale:
I am selling this as **ONE LOT ONLY**. I'm open to reasonable offers.
Please send me a private message (PM) if you are interested.

Shipping:
I can ship worldwide from Italy. The buyer pays for shipping costs, which we can calculate based on your location.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or via PM.

Cheers,
Dommy

Thank you for your message and for the advice on the photos.

I do have the pictures and I tried to insert them into the ad, but I couldn't manage it.
I'm not very familiar with this type of forum, and being quite advanced in years (80 years old), I sometimes make mistakes, so I gave up.

However, I have uploaded the photos to a Google Drive folder that is accessible to anyone with the link.
Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uQQicMqbJ6SpdajkZ_R6BPg2oHuq7Vs6?usp=sharing

Thanks a lot,
Domenico

So I looked at the photos on the drive.
here is one in particular
two stacks of 9 = 18 that is good

but 18 cases what is in them?  the photo hides the asics

also no piece of  paper in the same photo that reads

dommy selling this on bitcointalk

Hi philipma1957,

Thank you very much for taking another look and for the clear feedback.
I appreciate you taking the time to help.
You are absolutely right, I understand now:

The photo needs to show the actual ASIC modules themselves, not just their cases.
A handwritten note with my username and the forum name should be visible in the same picture as proof.
I will take new photos as you suggested:
I will take all 18 Antminer modules out of their individual cases.
I will arrange them in two stacks of 9.
I will place a handwritten note that says "dommy selling this on bitcointalk, [Today's Date]" next to them.
I will upload the new picture(s) to the same Google Drive folder and update the thread.

Thank you again for your helpful guidance.

Best regards,
Domenico
