[WTS] USA (1) Gridseed Blade and (56) 5-chip pods.

[boldar]

I'm in the USA and I have 1 gridseed-blade and (56) 5-chip pods I wouldn't mind parting with. Would be cool to sell them in one shot for BTC - includes all USB cables and assortment of custom made molex and PCI-e power adapter cables.  No PSU will be included but you can just use a standard ATX for them. Any interest?

[Riley600]

Interested in the Blade and possibly a few Pods but I don't need all 56.  You interested in parting out or no?

Here is a pic of the farm setup.

Cool - replied to your PM.

Do you have the original retail boxes and fans/screws for the ones that are missing them in the photo?

If yes I offer .5 btc for the 56 pods + usb cables and can provide a shipping label/cover escrow fees.  If the other user claimed a few pods that's fine just let me know whats left and we can adjust the offer.

With all due respect, your offer is an insult. I would think it would be beneath you to try to take advantage of another member like that. Care to make a "reasonable" offer?

That's a pretty reasonable offer considering their are places that you can get a mh/s of power for $5.

Cloud service != mining hardware

If you want that price then go cloud away...

[armedmilitia]

If I offered $5 for a single pod (as a curiosity), and I'd also cover shipping to Canada via usps, would that be reasonable?

[boldar]

Considering I have been selling them for $17.50 + shipping on eBay for the past month, I'm gunna go with "no thanks". I just thought that it may be more convenient to sell the remaining units in a 1 shot deal for BTC rather than fee-bay. But, it seems there are too many lowballers here that try to take advantage of others that they assume to be ignorant. Really unfortunate.

Hey, if you can sucker newbies into paying 17.50+shipping for a miner that makes less than 3 cents a day, go for it. I sure can't compete with that...

My offer was certainly not a low ball offer nor an insult.  If I take the fact that your selling these for $17.50 and then that the picture of your farm shows half of the orbs as being without a fan and there for unsaleable in their present state on eBay it is more than a fair offer.  I took into account that I would have to solder 28 fans back onto their respectful places and then list them as "seller refurbished" or be dishonest in my listings.  They certainly would not command the same premium as a listing with the miner in good to very good condition and not having been modified from the original manufacture specs.  Assuming a scenario where the fans could not be successfully placed back onto an orb I would have been out half of my purchase as far as the resell market is concerned.  Given the fact that many orbs have sold here for $5-$7.50 and that Gawminers.com sold used ones at 5 for $29.95 I offered full retail value for what could have ended up as only 28 usable gridseed orbs.

The seller here needs to acknowledge that users on these forums will more often than not refuse to pay eBay prices.

That's just how it is. If you want to sell for top dollar prices, then keep selling on eBay and don't refuse any offers here strictly because they are lower.

^this^

Most people here know what they are actually worth.

It seems this seller is a little bit overly sensitive. Running that many pods is a hassle with all the usb cables and crap everywhere...not to mention the diff is sky rocketing. I understand you took a bath on these (I also did...my only bad mining investment to date), but you can not expect top dollar here. I am thinking of selling mine off (73 total) and would be happy getting .6BTC - .7BTC for them.

Please pm me if you decide to sell them.

With all due respect, Zoomhash is selling the 25mh/s gridseed g black units for .7 BTC.  Same chips, same hashing power, comes WITH a PSU, isn't a giant clusterfuck of 57 different units, and is new, not old and busted with half missing fans.  I would say if there is anyone trying to take advantage of another member it's you. 

[boldar]

There is nothing old and busted about these units. They are in perfect working order. The fans are not necessary on all the units. If they are in LTC mode, fans aren't necessary on ANY of these units.. I don't expect to get e-bay prices here... I would assume on getting half that. However, I was offered a quarter of that from lowballers that admittedly are just trying to resell and make a quick buck at my expense. I think it's a fair assessment that the offer of $3/unit is an insult.

[nwfella]

I did just see a batch of 5x of these Gridseed's sell on e-bay for $29.99 + $10.00 for expedited shipping.  Thats $8/unit with shipping (so yeah, $3 probably a little low).

Hate to say it mein, but there is no way you will find anybody in the forum that's willing to pay anywhere near the $17.50 your accustomed to getting for these on e-bay.

I too have a bunch of obsolete hardware that is literally just gathering dust on a shelf and have taken a look at what I could dump them for..it ain't much.  Because of this I've decided to go ahead and simply hold onto them in the hopes that perhaps they might be valuable antiques in another 3-5 years.  You've seen what you can get for a working Apple I right!?  Just a thought

As I said, I wasn't expecting to get e-bay prices on here. I just thought it would be easier to sell them as a 1-shot deal for BTC rather than having the rest go through fee-bay for 1-2 units per order and have them take out their pound of flesh for each one and then having to spend the time packaging/shipping small orders. I have the original boxes for them so it's much easier to ship a case of 20 at a time. But if there are no takers with reasonable offers here, then I guess I have many small trips to USPS on the way to work in my near future :-P

These are not obsolete quite yet and they are not on a shelf gathering dust. They are currently all working flawlessly, but it's just getting to be too much to administrate them while working a full-time job, considering another part time job and also working on several other projects on the side. They are still profitable, but at this point I'd rather just get standalone units like antminer S3/S4s that keep going and are not dependent on a PC to run them..  so, I'm also considering trades for antminer units.
