Again this is not a group buy even if you want to call it one.

Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Mining > Hardware > Group buys

Just because you made a thread in the group buy section doesn't make it a group buy.

Just call it what it is, a forum exclusive sale.

Why won't spondoolies just offer $4400 on their website? What about everyone who paid $5100?

jimmothy I suppose because they do not waste time and money on getting customers.

Anyway ask them [email, oficial web form, that other thread such as https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-spondoolies-tech-carrier-grade-data-center-ready-mining-rigs-521520 ]

I am afraid you don't understand economies of scale. This is just an inconvenient way to order directly from spondoolies. There are no bulk savings involved with this because it is exactly the same as preordering from spondoolies website only a lower negotiated price.

This is just a clever marketing scheme.

This thead seems a little bit strange...

@ROADSTRESS why you don't have this guy's "advantages", since you're running SP-Tech GBs from quite a long time??

Cheers!

No new news from Spondoolies until after HK conference (Guy Corem, CEO of Spondoolies said to me).

for the umpteenth time...if you want to discuss about the company you have other threads, this thread is ONLY FOR GROUP BUYERS

Quote from: data55 on June 18, 2014, 11:32:49 AM

If you aren't interested please keep your opinions to yourself so we can keep this thread clean for people who are actually interested. Thanks.

...I can't see any answer on the above (w too much respekt!) ... this + your Jr Member level are often and unfortunately sympthoms of "bad behaviors" ... with respect (but to ANY OTHER Forum members this time...)

Then, you can reserve 457885 units if you like to write random numbers...

P.S.:
I spoke w Guy 3 weeks ago (last time in person) so... WHAT are you trying to tell us with your "news"!?

Cheers!

But I repeat, this thread is only for A GROUP BUY.
If someone believes there is a better product, you can buy it

If anyone thinks that SPTech should sell at another price, You can write and suggest it.

If anyone thinks that I will not make this group buy, he is roundly wrong

I do not try to convince anyone. If somebody have any questions about this buy group/purchase/deal, I will be happy to answer

It's absolutely not clear to me WHY Spondoolies-Tech would take this "bad way" in marketing/sales/customer-care/customer-service/image/reputation/... instead of offering a PUBLIC discounted price for EVERYBODY ... also because it's pretty clear that SP-30 4nor SP-15) are not selling too much at this round and at this price...

About the "time-saving": bullshit. You're adding more and futile workload and a more complicated "procedure" with this GB instead of using THEIR WEBSITE (+ coupons maybe) or thousand of other smoothier solutions...!

@SPONDOOLIES Would you like to offer only X machines at a discounted price, let's say 20?? ...just emit 20 coupons accordingly and fian a viable solution to distribute/give them to your customers... doesn't it seems more transparent or logic??
Let's say a raffle would do the trick... the "raffle-mantainer" would have his reward and ALL the rest of "players" would clesrly see how things run & where and whu the PROFITS GO...

Finally... PLEASE, an official reply from Spondoolies-Tech on this *newbie's (w respect) thread about their hardware would be REALLY appreciated!

Regards!

The SP30s are supposed to be quieter than the SP10s... how much quieter I'm not sure.

You can't trust marketing, no use speculating until they are in the wild. They said SP10 wasn't too bad either ...

It's supposed to be quieter because of the bigger form factor allowing for larger fans. I read in the Spondoolies-Tech thread that they measured it at 68db as opposed to the SP10 coming in at 74 (might have been 72)... at any rate, the measured difference was not very large. Of course, with the larger fans, perhaps there won't be the high-pitched whining quality to the sound. At any rate, if I do purchase one, it's going to have to be hosted. I don't have the power to drive one of these at home... well, I *could* run heavy duty extension cords all over, but the little lady would have my head if I tried that one

Thread is about ordering SP30s in a group (bulk / volume) from Spondoolies Tech right?

Yes, it is

Quote

This will allow for a greater discount correct than the stated prices on the SPtech site?

Yes, as much as possible we can get

Quote

(Note: $4,400 is ok but I want deeper discounts for September personally. Can we get an idea of numbers of units. Like the first GB there were targets for greater discounts. If we pool together here and get 50 units or 100 units we should see great savings.)

I commit myself to inform ONLY the actual prices negotiated directly with Spondoolies. At the time this was 8 units ($ 4,400) now have 14 16 units and the price will be lower : )

Thank you for your clarifying message Bicknellski

If the price drops low enough, I might have to actually take part in this. Just have to figure out a noise solution.

Thanks for the clarification... so it drops as orders come in... no "goal setting" but you will inform us as orders come in and then tell us all when / if price drops.

Hi,

Depending on when you need the payment or deposit, I can buy 4x and maybe more.

Thanks for setting this up!

Where is the problem?

Can the OP clarify for me?

I don't need the others to give me their opinions I want to hear from the leader of this "group buy".

Thanks

------------

Jimmy can you just let the OP Answer... I want to hear him either be clear or hang himself with the information. Your crosstalk and agenda driven comments not helping me at all make a choice on whether I want to buy another 2 or 3 SP30s. I understand your view. I want to hear from the guy running this buy not you because I can check the spondoolies tech website and cross reference things without your input.

There are zero cost savings involved with organizing a group buy this way.

$5,095 - $4,400 = $695 savings

Pre-Order in Bulk. Spon won't have to worry about Refunds, people will just have to sell their shares if they want out. Spoon gets a Lump sum of money now without having to waste time or money marketing this product. They are effectively paying for a middle man which is worth the cost if they can get the money sooner rather than later IMHO. Though I would be wary about this Group Buy. RS has been advertising/arguing (in every thread I have been to in the last week) for Spondollies like he works for them, I don't see how some other person is going to get a lower price point than RS at this point. Would be kind of cool to see, though I don't really mine. Good Luck

I don't work for SP-Tech, but I like to help honest companies with good products. Also I don't hold any monopoly over the GBs so OP is free to negotiate what price he wants.

Quote from: jimmothy on June 18, 2014, 10:57:16 PM

If this was a real group buy then they would get bulk pricing which someone said was $2500 per sp30.

Nobody will buy inefficient AM gen3 chips if SP-Tech will offer 0.41$/Gh so careful what you wish.

WHat GB is this?

It's not a group buy. You are ordering from spondoolies tech.

The list will be forwarded to Spondoolies Tech so that you can arrange payment afterwards.
