[lee group]1980$! the sales of first batch hosted antminer s7(psu included)

[mavericklm]

bitmain is becoming a monopoly, expect premium prices!

[jmumich]

Will you sell any of the remaining units you still have at the same price quoted in the first post?

Yes please let us know it looks like there's lots of folks anxious to buy a few more and maybe get those hosting costs down!

I don't know what to do ? 
I want to order 2 more miners but Lee said he has stopped orders.
looks like you can still order from google order form.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO?
I would not like to order and then have to wait a long time for a refund.

C'mon, "Competitor intelligence" = bullshit. Bitmain just saw bitcoin price raise a bit and then goes to increases prices. Just like any other monopolist. We need more providers.

[pcfli]

the sales restore!

we still have several miner left, but we have adjusted the price to 419$ as the same as bitmain
but we still much cheaper than them becasue first: we already include the psu, second: the miner will be online within 24 hours after payment, that is almost 20-25 days ahead than bitmain

[no141]

If my last miner didn't have issues, I would have already had two more. With the price change, no more

[pcfli]

i understand the price adjustment is a little much
but the situation is that if i sold out all the stock(50 unit), i am pretty sure i can sell them out soon if i still use 340$, then i have to buy the new miner according to the price set by bitmain, that would be no profit at all

[no141]

The way I see it, is you could sell those last 50, at $340, maybe even $350, hopefully be able to lower the running cost per day, then it would be more attractive for the people buying new machines at the higher price. Since bitcoin has been increasing in value, and you held bitcoin payments, you should have made the difference that way for new miners. I hope you can make a sale for all current users, maybe new users purchasing more than one as well. Everyone wants to see hosting costs down, won't you help us get there quickly?

[philipma1957]

he can't do 340   but 419 is steep.

I used to sell hdds on ebay.  when the flood happened a few years back hdd prices went crazy.  I had a lot in stock maybe 40.  1tb hdds had tripled in price.  I was in the same spot as lee.

So I sold my 40 hdds with a smaller price bump then anyone else on ebay.  Result they sold fast and people liked what I did. I made a little extra money and a lot of extra good will.

Once I sold out.  I found other ebay items to sell.


 So if you meet in the middle?   380?

you will sell them quicker then anyone else.  and when the 50 sell out you can collect hosting and not expand for a while.

[no141]

It's weird how bitmain's batch 6, is meeting in the middle at $379. I really want lower hosting fees! How about for everyone who supported you already, they can buy equal number of machines as they have now at $360, and new people can buy at the middleground suggested, until the last 50 are sold.

Hoping that last 50 is all it takes. But maybe there's at least two more of ones that are needing replacements.

that is the strategy we use, although we set the price as 419$ as the same as bitmain
but we actually much cheaper, first we have included the price for a 40$ psu, second we have 20-25 days ahead of bitmain
edit
if you check the chinese site of bitmain, you will find the price they set is 3000 CNY, which is 484$. as a matter of fact, i canot place the order on english site since it will add 17% tax

I guess if you meet us at half price for the reminding unit (not the one you buy at 420$) you'll pretty much sell out today from all your previous buyer.

We are not asking you to sell at non-profit.

If i knew, i would have already take 2 units.

I understand your point, since you won't be able to buy any new miner until Bitmain produce more of them.

We all wanted to buy more miner from you since the deal was really great at the moment. (at 340$)

You're the boss

[HerbPean]

Anyone else mining at Bitminter ?

I cannot connect to both pools ... i try the pool/ workername that i give to Lee at home and it's working ... but it's dead in Lee's network.

Any idea ?

So you rather wait and wait for someone to buy them at the current price then to sell them out, then pass along a host fee savings?

I guess you don't want to wait the time for batch 5 to be delivered with nothing in hand to sell. I will further assume, that all remaining units are up and operating on your behalf, and we are all getting used units. And I never realized we were paying for the power supplies directly, I thought that was part of the hosting fee daily charge.

I'm hoping sales stall for bitmain and they adjust their prices accordingly. I wonder if that's possible.

Your data center is 5MW and you have only 500units (~0.3MW)
Strange Chinese business..

from the previous experience: if BTC price increase, but not much, they might still hold the price in $$; if BTC price increase more than 15-20%, they WILL increase price in $$; if BTC price decrease, they will give coupons; if BTC price decrease more than 15-20%, then they WILL decrease the $$ price.
take your pick.

nothing strange: your hosting costs pay for his miners electricity (maybe).
