Topic: Avalon Asic from Ebay, save to buy? (Read 1211 times)
Sounds interesting.
Monday? Which Monday? Lol
Seller if you have that on Monday you will make a hell of a lot more selling it if you have it IN HAND with pictures and can ship the next day. Selling a "preorder" won't make you as much.
This whole thread is fishy.

I'm not sure you are right. The later I'm selling the device, the less value it has. My thinking was that people would pay more if they can get the device as early as possible. And if the auction would only be for 1 day, a lot less people will see it, than if it is for 5 days.
And did you watch my proof video that I purchased the device? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZh_DNXJFFc . You have to admit that this would be extremely difficult if not impossible to fake. Also I decided to only accept PayPal, so if you don't receive the device within 30 days, you can charge back. If the buyer has any other reasonable way to handle the transaction, I'm very open to suggestions. I'm really not trying to scam anyone, and I'm trying everything to make that clear. I'm also willing to give all my personal information to the highest bidder (Phone number, copy of my passport, address, anything).

getting the asic in the first place is questionable... an ebay auction for the preorder? ehhh... not such a good idea IMO!
do not buy anything asic related off ebay - it is a scam

There was a technical problem with ebay, I couldn't re-add the images, and I couldn't edit the description. I was on the phone with ebay.com for about 30 minutes, and then they told me that this problem could not be fixed, and I'd have to re-list the item. Extremely annoying. I also had to talk to the american support, because I created the listing on ebay.com, and not ebay.ch. Ebay is a horrible website...
So now there's a new offer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AVALON-ASIC-Bitcoin-BTC-Miner-Preorder-batch-2-60-GHash-s-/261198209710?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd0a062ae

You are not allowed to sell items (preorders) on eBay that cannot be delivered in 30 days.
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/pre-sale.html
This is from preorder sellers often stringing buyers along trying to get them to wait past the time that eBay disputes can be opened, and selling items that they don't have and might not get.
According to avalon the device should ship on monday. As far as I know they have been quite reliable, so I hope the 30 days will work.http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/pre-sale.html

If you want to sell presale items, be sure to meet all of the following criteria:
Guarantee that the item will be available for shipping within 30 days from the purchase date. Be sure to clearly state this information in your listing.
Clearly indicate in the listing that the item is a presale item.
The handling time specified in your listing should reflect the time from the end of the listing until the item is shipped to the buyer—not the time the item is in your possession. Be sure to specify the correct handling time in your listing.
In the listing form, you need to use the default font size of 3 so people can easily see these sale terms.
Make sure your listing follows these guidelines. If it doesn't, it may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account.

Only do it if you can afford to lost the investment.

If you are still checking this thread, why did the pictures from your auction disappear.
For both parties, ebay has concerns. I read that the Avalon site is moving the info from the "pre order 2" data and front end to the "pre order 3" data and front end. 3 allows address changes.
I can't verify that, but I read it on the internet...
If that is true, and if you only have 1 unit on order, then escrow should be easy. Do you have more than 1 unit on order?

This all is assuming Avalon ever ships the thing. That is just as much of a risk OP - that Avalon never ships!
True...A friend of mine said that I can open and see what is inside before signing. I will think about it tonight and decide if i should buy it.
That sounds good.btw: You do realize that you have to place an offer? You can't just buy it. I can imagine that the final price will be over 40'000$, I have already received an offer of somebody who was willing to pay that much.

I think the best solution would be to use a reliable escrow system. I know about btcrow.com, but I have no idea if they can be trusted with that amount of money. I made a post on reddit a while ago, but nobody had any experience with them. It would be nice if e.g. MtGox or any other trusted party would offer an escrow service.
It's weird to say this here on bitcointalk, but maybe PayPal is the best option we have. In case I wouldn't ship the device (I will, of course, but I understand that you don't want to risk anything) you could chargeback, and in case I sent the device to you, I will keep enough evidence that PayPal wouldn't allow a chargeback. Not really sure though how I could proof to PayPal that I sent the item. I could maybe make a movie of how I pack the device and bring it to the postal office or something like that

Pretty sure when you are sending there is a option to receive document back that I have received whatever you shipped, I just dont know how this works exactly since probably they wont let me see open the packaged to see what is in it ( witch could be empty box for example ) and I still have to sing that i have received it.
