Topic: [CLOSED] Block Erupter USB Out of Stock - kosmo will be back! - page 22. (Read 33500 times)

He's sold out according to the thread subject but I wanted to confirm that, while I haven't received the actual item yet, I've received a tracking number. Looking good!

We confirm that kosmokramer has successfully ordered another 50 USBs from us and they are shipped out.

There are companies that will re-ship for you. One I use is myus.com (I'm also in Australia) and have used them for getting stuff from Amazon sellers that only ship to the US.

Lol, good job with the pic btw.. . if everyone else is like me they drooled and started up their wallet to see if they had enough

Another batch is on order. Although I haven't received tracking number from friedcat, I do expect delivery mid-week. There's enough for everyone (the new ones just may not be red or black)!!

Sorry guys - bitcoins only and shipping within US only at this time. I can't pay friedcat with a WoW account, unfortunately

Aww, I'm sure they'll be sold out before I can get my BTC

ship to Australia at all?

ill trade a wow account, a domain name and .2 BTC for a USB miner  ( I'm poor lol )

Sorry, missed this at the bottom of page one. Predicting, especially with ASICs, has proven to be a losers game for me in the past year. Should I receive my K16's in a timely manner, I suppose the price will be what the market bears? No idea what that would be at present - I prefer to focus on hardware that I can touch!

Woohoo! I'm so happy to read that! I had a feeling others were as frustrated with preorders as I was and put all of my savings on the line to do something about it. Will I significantly make a change to any of the big player's business practices? Likely not. But as long as I'm restoring faith in at least a handful of users, it's all worth it. Buying ASICs does not have to be so painful (nor should it be)!!

What's that one cliche saying - vote with your wallet? You guys definitely did that in the past 24 hours - thrilled to continue building up rep while serving such a great community! As proven by my interactions with people at the recent conference in San Jose, I truly believe bitcoin users are the friendliest, most critically sensible group of people I've had the pleasure to interact with.

You should read the thread in chronological order and you'll in fact see GuiltySpark343 asked me a question specifically mentioning your name. Am I not to respond to concerns in my own thread just because they reference other users?

I re-read my answer to GuiltySpark343 and nowhere do I see an innuendo; it's a fact - DHL did not deliver the group buy to you on Friday! This was an important fact in establishing my case that the two miners pictured in my OP were not from your group buy. Someone else went out and did research, found out on a public forum that I had placed an order with you and simply inquired as to my legitimacy. I answered his question as clearly and concisely as possible, mentioning all relevant players and publicly visible facts.

I hope my thread is not being viewed by you or other group buyers as a threat - on the contrary - we serve two different types of buyers. You serve buyers who are not craving a product in their hands immediately and who are comfortable with a pre-order of sorts and, in exchange, get that product for a slight discount (as a reminder, I was such a buyer last week!). I, on the other hand, serve buyers who see value in having a product shipped within 24 hours of parting with their money, even if at a slight premium. There is reasoning and value behind both types of purchases.

If in the future, you have an issue with the way I'm conducting business on my own thread, I think a more professional approach would be to work it out via PM.

I don't think either one of us is making a killing doing these sales, we're both just doing it for the good of the community. I wish you success in serving your buyers and I appreciate you wishing me the same!

I've no issue with anyone doing whatever they want, wish him success!. I just don't like the innuendo about me not receiving orders.

I didn't read that as him name-dropping you, only stating that he ordered 2 from your group buys and then decided on his own batch..

Nice to see another Oregonian involved in BTC!

Kosmo - send me a PM.. I could be interested in buying either some of your pre-ordered chips, or a /16 or /64 board when you have them done.

Its nice to see someone re-selling at a reasonable price. (Regardless if you believe the original price from asicminer is too high)

Props to you for being realistic.

If you still have some tomorrow, I'm in for at least one.

If not, I definitely will be buying from the next shipment.  Much prefer this method of sales to the pre-order (group buy) method.

Thanks for the explanation and the new pics! Not trying to be a troll, just wanted to trust-but-verify. Good luck with your sales!

This! A million times - this! I don't want this thread to turn into a debate about profitability, preorder predictions, is BFL a scam, etc - the whole point is that if you want this product, I will ship it to you! What good is even discussing ASICs like the jalapeno if it hasn't shipped? I've had tens of thousands of dollars tied up in preorders (including jalapenos!) for now nearly a year - trust me, I'm just as frustrated. I could have used that money and invested in ASICM at the same time and be a millionaire right now. That's the whole reason this thread exists though, to cut through the bullshit and make a very straight offer - a real physical ASIC in your hands as early as tomorrow for a fair price.

And if you can put a batch of jalapenos in my hands to sell in the same manner, I'll put them in inventory and sell them too!
