BITMAIN Antminer S3 For Auction

[GreenBits]

Selling a B1 Antminer S3, box opened but in new condition:

Got one of these in a group buy, all is well, but unfortunately my internet connection (my ISP is Exede, sat. internet because I live in the boondocks) is down/severely restricted so often it will affect my ability to ROI if it remains constant. I'd rather just get my BTC back and trade with it than fight this particular battle.

Pictures of the unit:





Bidding starts at .70 BTC. Please bid in .01 increments.
Auction ends 48 hours from now, I'll round to the next hour, so August 06, 2014, 11:00:00 PM (forum time). Will get shipping details at auction ends, will ship the following morning. I live in Rowland, NC; willing to travel about 2 or 3 hours (near the SC border so I can extend a few hours that way) to sell this in person.

This is pretty straightforward, but feel free to ask any questions you may have. I'd like to use Maidak as escrow.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I retract my bid of 0.7 BTC for now, it seems like there are other miners being sold for cheaper, including the s3.  I'll give you an offer of 0.45 BTC.

And shipping will be on  you.  II'll come back and give you a better offer if I don't find any other good miners.

Please link me to a better offer, so I can price mine accordingly. To the best of my knowledge, they are .68 from the manu, and thats for 2 units (the minimum purchase.) Ive added a .02 to that, I don't believe that is unreasonable. As offered by PM, I will cover the first 25 dollars on both shipping options. I may be open to negotiation on shipping  but I certainly won't eat the entire cost of a non domestic package.

I'll offer 0.5btc pickup near Wilmington at the end of this week or early next.

I appreciate the offer, but thats far too low. I see now I may be keeping this unit after all

Is there some reason I am not aware of that I am being made offers much less than the actual price of the machine? Im not understanding something. Is the S3 on sale somewhere that I am not privy to? Im not trying to be rude or snippy, I actually am at a loss.

AndrewK, I can do .7 minimum, but I will drive it to your destination and eat the cost of travel. If you can point me to a place where they are being sold for .5, I might be inclined to purchase one myself, despite my present difficulties.

A lot of people are starting to realize that buying BTC on an exchange > mining. Mining you take all the risk / effort, and you likely won't get more BTC back than what you put in. Buying BTC and holding is much better... You get the coins instantly, and guaranteed amount of coins you will get. Without the hassle of maintaining miners.

Goodluck selling though

[AndrewK]

I'll take it for 0.7 btc... several conditions though... check your inbox and get back to me.

Thanks,
Andrew

Dropping this down to .68, but as all the offers for this have been laughable, will most likely just have it at a friends/relatives house. I don't know what part of my offer seemed a joke, but I've had some truly off beat offers for this (fav: I'll buy, but please host it for a week at your expense).

If you aren't willing to pay .68BTC, and accept a flat rate priority shipping mailer, please don't waste your time posting here.

Alright, my offer to you: 0.68 BTC with shipping ALL covered as well as any other custom/legal fees (if any).
