cchan just offered 2 BTC via PM (previous bid was 4) due to loss in time and increased difficulty. I'm tired of going back and forth via PMs with people not responding or changing their minds. I hope to finish this tonight or tomorrow morning and just do it publicly instead of via PM. I'm still waiting to hear from driksson. ProfMac offered 2.25 also so I'll see if he's still interested.

I confirm my bid.

And with that, the auction is over. ProfMac sent the funds, and I'll be organizing shipment.

yes, confirmed. 2btc is my current offer. 4 was the bid about one week ago, but OP didn't accept my offer at that time.

Hi, will you sell it for your initial 4btc shipping to China?
I'm still interested in it and hope it shipped asap.

Sorry, I'm finalizing the sale to poochone for 6 BTC.

Update: Looks like I have an offer for 4.5 that seems about 90% for sure and would be US shipping which is easy. They are confirming their tools will allow them to extract the chips and such. Hoping to get this finalized so it can be shipped on Monday.

Why do people bid on stuff unless they are serious about it?

Exoskeleton just backed out on his 4.5 bid via PM (so much for 90%) because his board supplier fell through and he/she doesn't want to buy the module without anywhere to put the chips.

30contin was apparently never serious (though he/she offered 7.5 and sent multiple PMs, even going so far as to get the escrow process going), poochone hasn't been online for days (though he/she offered 6 btc and blamed "very bad internet on edge" for being out of touch previously). cchan and driksson appear to be serious via PM, but they haven't locked in or finalized a 4 btc price yet.

The 3 other auctions for the modules, case and components went really smoothly. This one makes me not want to bother with auctions here ever again.

Sorry. I just want to get this finalized and get the module shipped to someone in the morning so the chips aren't just sitting there doing nothing.

Well, are you sleeping right now?

I was checking my email regularly looking for PMs. I just got a new offer for 4.5 BTC via PM from someone new. If they are ready to close it out, I may, just to be done with it. That said, nothing ships on a Sunday anyway, so I may give everyone until Sunday night my time (CST). My other PMs haven't been responded to yet.

Sigh. Looks like those who want this are on a completely different timezone. I was hoping to get this shipped out today.

It seems 30contin just wanted to waste people's time. I caution anyone else who might be involved with them in an auction (they've been bidding on quite a few things). They confirmed the seriousness of their bid via PM and the desire to use JohnK for escrow... then delayed a couple days and reneged.

You would easily understand that by looking at his post history. I think he made bids of 200+ over a course of days..
I would've gotten this a long time ago from you.
Not sure if I am that interested in waiting around much longer..

I understand. When I first looked at his post history, there were not nearly that many posts. I'm sorry, I've just been trying to be fair about this. The whole process has been annoying waste of time for me.

I've messaged poochone but he has not been responsive. If you finalize the sale before he responds, I'll sell to you for 4.5 BTC right now if you cover part of the shipping. I don't know who you'd want to use for escrow, but JohnK's signature says he's currently unavailable.

If you want, I can post a Bitcoin address publicly here you can send to and then we can PM Immuzikation to see if he can ship it out today. Does that work for you?

They confirmed the seriousness of their bid via PM and the desire to use JohnK for escrow... then delayed a couple days and reneged.

So here's where we stand:

poochone: Bid 6 BTC (UK)
driksson: "4 at least.. maybe 5." (EU)
cchan: 4 BTC (via PM) (China)
ProfMac: 2.25 BTC (US)

JohnK's profile says he'll be unavailable for escrow this weekend. I'd really like to get this module to the person who wants it most. It's a waste of everyone's time (and blockchain difficulty) while it sits in a box and we go back and forth. Someone can use those chips and/or repair it.

I'll PM the people listed above in the order listed. If you want to change your bid (and are actually serious), post here. If you want it, you'll have to suggest and pay for an alternate escrow process. Or, I can post an public address here and the shipper of the module (Immuzikation) will confirm publicly when the module is shipped.

hence idea of new 24 hr auction.. this isnt fair to others..
7.5 btc for a broken module. Cry

Can you explain how it is unfair?

If an auction doenst have an end date? In my opinion an auction has a start and end date. And a BIN price..
The unfairness comes in place when bids are accepted, then fall through, and the property loses value.. and in the end i couldve bought it days ago and had it in hand.
But it seems like auctions are very freely defined by posters full discretion. And that makes it difficult to be part/bid.

7.25 btc if all else falls through.

That's the best offer yet and the finalization of the previous offer didn't happen over the weekend because of "very bad internet on edge" and no replies to my PMs.

Where do you need it shipped? PM and we can work it out.

hmmm...

I suggest you post a new auction, 24 hours..

I don't see the point in posting all the same information again. If poochone wants it, they need to PM me. If that falls through, you appear to be next inline. If someone wants to bid more than 6, we can finish this up right now.
