Or, you can do like this guy:

Voila.

Of course, I don't know if yours includes a power supply.

But, if you start the bid out low enough, it seems people are willing to pay what we think are crazy prices for old-ass mining hardware that doesn't have a chance-in-hell to ROI. Believe me, enough of them know this, or at least have an idea. But, it's not like you're putting a gun to their heads, saying, 'Buy my miner, see?'

Always keep in mind the 10% ebay fee (on the total, including shipping) & whatever PayPal charges.

Do not sell on eBay. The buyer will get the miner, mine on it for a month, then claim it's broken and ship back a couple of used diapers. He'll get to keep the miner and you'll be holding 2 dirty diapers. See the other thread in hardware where others are having this scam happen to them.

Solo mine may be an option for you, but it can never find a block too.

Using some expensive heaters

ok, I'll sell both of them but at what starting price would you recommend? don't even know what they originaly cost Roll Eyes

hmm $5

for both of them £20 including postage?

right were to sell them, I'll guess I'll try here and https://cryptothrift.com dare I even conisder evilbay Shocked

start to wonder if the psu might be worth more... eek

If you can't sell them locally they're essentially trash since it's not worth shipping them. List them in the marketplace section of the forums here if you want the $10.

Mining newbie. spent hours searching with no clear results, help would be greatly appreciated please.
Been given 2 butterfly labs miners., one to sell the other I can keep but it it's not viable for mining coins of interest then I'll sell it too.

so where to look for what to price/sell them as?
I've looked on evilbay and https://cryptothrift.com and redit.
what do you think of the price of £50?

I guess 25GH isn't proiftable or at least I wont break even?

not useful if 25Gh/s

BFL gear is pretty much electronic waste at this point since it uses 2 to 3x as much electricity as it generates in revenue. Save your time and just sell it for $5 or dump it in electronic recycling.

Its not profitable at all, not even break-even electricity bills. Best to sell both..

Solo mine. You get lucky and hit a block, you get 25 BTC. Do you think a real gold miner goes out to the hills and uses a calculator and says. If I move so many tons of dirt I should get so many ounces of gold? Do what you want because you want BTC not because a calculator says you will only get .0001 btc per day.

Yes, they do.

hmm arr. well it depends if I will hit jackpot in say 2 years min (ie before it might break) then it might well be worth it. it also depends on how much time it takes to setup. currenty I really don't want to do much more techinal stuff, I want to move on and do somthing differant. I need a break, I've done aserval of my young yearsand now want to get out more and do more pysical things
