Why not? According to their own site it's not ment for making big bucks on the sale, but to give them a better price point for the 50 pcs they gonna keep themselves. And the price is $ 2550, so roughly $ 550 - 650 for the rest of the parts and some profit..
For this group buy they are gonna give away the shipping, but in turn they don't have to do marketing for this lot.
Topic: [ CLOSED ] VX-1 Miner Group Buy - Free 1 TH/s Miner Giveaway - page 8. (Read 12005 times)
Is there some cheaper source of Bitfury chips these guys found? Because the last group buy of them I found was for $5/chip. If this rig has 400 chips total, that is $2k, so I don't see how they are pricing it at $2250?
Thanks for your explanation about the PSU, it's not a big problem to arrange the bigger ones, it's just a waste of a perfectly good one 
..
As someone wrote before, even the raffle is not there, count me in. Would order more, but the one time drop shipping and the short time frame for ordering is holding me back.
To me personally, it looks like a legit offer! I've ordered a miner from a so called 'big player' 5 months ago and still no ETA (FYI Monarchs from ButtF*ck Labs). I've ordered from shady Chinese players, and although there was some delay, they did deliver. Okay proof that they make what they say is a bit thin, so still want pictures of the inside and some screenshots from cgminer though..
And, if this goes as described here and on their site, I will order VX-2 without a doubt.
Edit: Just read that MultiMiner has gotten support for the VX-1, so if this is a scam someone is going great lenghts for it..

Thanks

Well, 10 units spoken for is not a bad start i guess, but at the current rate / day i dont think we will get 50 before they dont have 50 to sell. These guys might be S.O.L from this forum, not that i think they cared anyways. I was shocked that they did not do their own group buy thing here, well not really shocked, more so curious to a point. From what i have read in the past month i guess it is a serious headache to deal with some people on the forum.
If push comes to shove and we are not near 50 when they get below 100 left, how many of you guys would still buy one direct from them if they still offered free shipping without the chance at winning a free miner? I want to have a contingency plan if we dont hit the target so you guys who took the time and interest in them still get some sort of a deal and it never hurts to ask them if they would still work with us.

Hi, plz put me on the list for 2. Hope they can add some more images especially from the inside. I'm in the EU, so the shipping part is kinda interesting for me. If we don't touch 50, it would be nice that they can reserve the ones from the group buy, and perhaps do something with the shipping?
One other thing, according to the website blog overclock is easy but would require an 1100 watt PSU. Would like that one installed right away. Any possibilities with that?

Thanks Maxximus, got you marked down. Will for sure be getting some pictures of the inside soon i hope. Maybe a video too if they are willing to accommodate shipping me one to upload.
As for the overclocking thing, they will only be shipping the standard configuration. They are not a big outfit and not equipped to do much more than offer different color LED's in their fans and thats only because they had to order different colors to get enough fans. They already ordered all the PSU's for the units and shelled out what i would think is a ton of money just to make 250 units total with 200 for sale. From what i understand its as easy as unplugging the 24 pin from the original PSU and plugging in the new one. If getting the PSU is a concern for you, i might be able to help. I am going to be ordering mine from tiger direct for my units and might be able to order an extra pair for you and ship them to you if Tiger or nobody will deliver directly to you.

It seems to me that these types of pop-up 'we have what you want' types would be well served to shoot a very short and sweet video and post on their web site/youtube showing what hardware they have, etc.

I would tend to agree with you iglasses, i asked about pictures and a video and the guys said pictures are not a problem but video poses some issues. I guess where they live they have to use satellite internet and uploading a video even to youtube fails every time. When i lived in arizona i had satellite internet myself so i know what they are talking about so i just kind of let the video idea go although it would have made this a shit ton easier on me. Hopefully some more detailed pictures will help ease the minds of the worried.
If all else fails, i guess i just pay the $200 in shipping for my 2 machines and order from them direct by myself. Nothing ventured nothing gained i guess with this group buy, at least from my standpoint. i figured it would be hard, but not this hard. Time will tell i guess.

The Observer has been registered for just over a month. Even if the guy is a genuine honest person, there's no way to know. You'd be crazy to part with your cash on this thread.
In all due fairness, you have been here for a long time, and i still would have no way to know i could trust you either. Your age on this forum is not a measure of honesty. For that matter, i have worked it out with the guys at VX miners to take the payments directly so i will not be collecting or holding any funds EVER for this group buy. So if you want to troll about something, troll about making payment direct to the manufacturers who are not a part of this forum at all mainly because they dont care about it as they only have 200 machines to unload.
Age on the forum may be no guarantee of trustworthiness, but it goes a long way if you can browse over several hundred posts from a person and get a measure of their history, participation in group buys, trust status etc. The fact that you are so defensive (calling me a troll - nobody ever has before) raises even more suspicion for me. This is a typical tactic for a scammer and I have seen it used many times on the forums.
I never said you were a scammer and for all I know you are a genuine honest person. My point was that given the lack of history available on your account, new users on here (or anyone for that matter) would be crazy to trust you with thousands of pounds/dollars/whatever your flavour.
I'm not up for a big debate on it, but I've seen lots of people just disappear and leave the buyers (quite often newbies) in the lurch.
To anyone considering giving this complete stranger your cash, think.
I can agree with you on the points you made, and my apologies on branding you a troll. I guess i have just just over anticipated the normal idiots who lurk here on the forms and was quick to assume that you were one of them. I was not intending to be "defensive" more so just making my point that i really dont give a rats ass about the opinions of the typical forum troll with a hyper inflated ego, which after looking through your history i can see you are not. So again, i apologize for being so quick to jump to conclusions. You make some valid points.
Again for anyone who is still following, i have worked it out with the guys at VX miners so that if we hit the 50 unit requirement for the group buy, you will be dealing with them directly on payment so you dont have to "trust" me with your money/Bitcoin when payment comes due. Also i cannot seem to find the post about the website that Sushi used for his free miner giveaways so that we can use that same service for selecting the winner of the free miner from this group buy. If anyone could lend a hand with that i would greatly appreciate it. Being newer to the forum, i am still trying to figure out the search functions and best way to find old posts.
Thanks

Put me down for 1 as well - Hopefully these guys can deliver on time, or deliver at all... 
It would be nice to see more pics/videos though...

Got you down, Also sent Larry an e-mail asking for more pic's, He said he would have some by monday for me, also said video would be a problem, where they live at i guess they only have satellite internet and uploading video is next to impossible, but pics wont be a problem.
Write me down for 1 as well.
Just curious though... I live in Europe (Netherlands to be precise) and stuff sent from China (Bitmain S1 Antminer) is quite cheap on customs. However, everything I've ordered from USA always comes with such a high amount I have to pay...
Do you already know what you'll put on the box/invoice? Which company will you use to ship the item?

Got you marked down as well, He said UPS for shipping when i asked the first time, and that he bought a roll of UL and CE stickers to help the guys over seas, Customs declaration will be a $300 computer. from this group buy he said all shipping will be free. But if you would like i can inquire a little bit more for you.

To be fair I don't see any trolling or accusing. Just a request for more information. You can't blame people for being nervous after the amount of money that has been lost to scams.
