Hey, so I met this guy that wants to get rid of his Cointerra. I'm thinking of picking it up. He is selling it for $3800 if I drive out to get it. Seems like a legit deal. I can come straight to his house and watch it work, and take it to my place. Its a couple hours drive, but whatever, could be a fun day trip.
I'm interested in your guys' take on that price, and if you can speculate as to if it would break even, or if you would consider that deal even at all. He says it hashes just under 1.7th/s, like 1690 gh/s. My concern is the high power usage. I have a dedicated 220 outlet to plug into, so I think It'll be a problem. I'm just looking at ROI in terms of BTC, and I'm just really not sure.
$3800 seems like an average deal, definitely better than ebay, but i dont give two shits about ebay prices.
So guys, what should I do? Do I even bother with it, or should I give him a counter-offer? Do cointerras even still have a warranty? Is there going to be any restitution for the lack of hashrate via a fix or anything for existing customers?
All feedback would be greatly apppreciated, thanks!
seems like a pretty good deal. theyre still retailing for $6000. i paid more than that for some bought off a forum member in jan batch, in addition to the ones i bought directly from cointerra.
the jan, feb and march batches (and soon to be april) will all be that performance. its possible the may batch will be 2 th/s...
there wont be any restitution other than a discount voucher off the next order for those that got the earlier batches running at 1.6-1.7th/s, but i doubt thats a transferable voucher.
