[WTS] 5 x Antminer S3 hosted at Centerus

[allinvain]

I've got for sale 5 Antminer S3 (non S3+) currently hosted at Centerus. Buyer can either ask for shipping or keep them hosted with Centerus. If you decide you want to ship them out Centerus will charge a fee for this which has to be covered by the buyer.

Asking price $180 per miner. This is without PSUs. I've decided to keep the PSUs at Centerus in case I send them any other miners that are not self-powered. I do believe that Centerus can provide you with PSUs to power them though. They also sell 1300 watt PSUs for just $150 I think. These can power 3 antminers easily.

Does it include any prepaid hosting time?

Umm, I did not think about that. I'd imagine that the new owner would get billed from the time of purchase by Centerus. At least that seems to be the reasonable way to do things.

It looks like Centerus charges by the set of 3 of s3's.....do you know how much they charge for all 5?

They charge by 1KwH/month. 3 of them come close to 1000 watt. So according to my calculations for 5 it should be 0.276 btc per month. The rate per miner is 0.0552.

Their website is scant on details. Do you know if their contract locks in the BTC per 1kw rate? If so how long is it locked in for?

Yeah their website needs some work. No they do not lock in the btc per 1kw rate. They've kept the same rate for a while now. Their btc pricing works to your advantage when btc price is low though. You actually end up paying far below what others charge.

Well I was curious in the event that the price of bitcoin temporarily tanks.

If you can, please find out how much they would charge to ship the 5 units to me (to the zip code I previously PM'ed you).

I would prefer to have them in my physical possession (I can use them as heaters to save on heating costs in the winter).

I will probably make an offer in the near future

Well if it tanks then you benefit. Yep, I will ask them about that now that I have your zip code. I should also mention that they charge a "0.083 per package" fee. This is in addition to shipping.

[allinvain]

I forgot to mention but you want them _without_ PSUs, correct?

[Panthers52]

Find out how the total shipping cost to my zip code will be including the package cost (?).

If I were to want them shipped then I would need a PSU (and would probably buy from your other thread as doing so would really make more sense)

Also find out if they are able to allow for the btc rate per monthly Kw to be locked in

[allinvain]

Ok, I will get this info for you. As for the other units, those are actually located in Canada which means more expensive shipping for you. Just thought I'd let you know.

Yes how does the PSU situation work, Do they power the units, or do the usesr have to supply the PSU's, I cant see anything on their website.

Sorry if this is a silly question, If I dont know, I will ask.

They started offering power supplies to customers sending them S3s a while back.

"If you are looking for a hosting service for your S3s, you've found it here. We will provide the power supply needed to power your S3 Antminers! Just place your order at BitMainTech.com, and have your S3s delivered to us. Email us the tracking number together with your mining setup details, and we'll have your S3s mining for you within 24 hours upon arrival. We will send you our standard hosting agreement for signature as soon as we receive your email."

If I were to keep the miners hosted at Centerus what is the best price you could offer for all 5?

I may be able to do $175 but I need to keep those PSUs then. You'd have to contact Centerus to find out if they are still going to let you power them miners with their own PSUs.

[allinvain]

lowered price to $160 per unit

[allinvain]

Lowered price to $140 a piece.

Washington State....cheap power. You can just take over the hosting if you'd like. I can sell you PSUs that power the units as well or you can buy one of Centerus' 1300 watt server PSU that should be capable of powering 3 S3s at once. I think each one of their PSUs are around $130 to $150.
