Why you are selling your rig? crypto currency will be profitable within few months.

Are you just spamming posts to get your activity count higher?
He's offering a rig building service.
Hi all,
I posted this in the alternate cryptocurrencies sub-forum a few days ago but was told that this might be a better place for it.
I run cryptobadger.com - some of you are probably familiar with my guide on how to build your own litecoin mining rig. Over the past couple months, I've received a lot of requests to sell pre-assembled rigs from people that don't have the time and/or inclination to build one from scratch. I've sold a few privately to get a feel for the process, and as of last week, I've decided to offer my rigs to the public.
If a pre-built rig appeals to you, you can check out what I'm offering here:

If you'd like a better sense of exactly what you're getting, you can check out the setup/management guide here.
And of course, if you'd prefer to build your own rig, I have a fairly detailed guide for that, too. =)
I'll try to anticipate some questions here:
Why don't you accept bitcoins/litecoins as payment?
I'm using Paypal for now mainly to give buyers peace-of-mind. Given that cryptocurrency transactions can't be reversed, I'm sure many people would simply assume "scam" if I wanted customers to pay with bitcoin/litecoin. If you'd prefer to pay with cryptocurrency, I'd be happy to accommodate you, of course.
Won't these be destroyed in shipping?
They're packed pretty thoroughly, with about 2" of bubblewrap and packing paper on all sides of the rig. The GPUs are tied down during shipping, just in case the box is inverted. Everything is securely held in place with cable ties, and any empty space is filled with paper or bubble wrap.
What hardware are you using?
It varies from rig to rig, but they'll all be within 5% of 2000 Kh/sec and 780 watts at the wall. Most recently, I've been using Gigabyte WF3s GPUs (undervolted via custom BIOS). All of the PSUs are at least 80 Plus Gold certified (I pretty much only use Seasonic and Corsair units here). I tend to stick to motherboards that have at least 5 PCI-E slots, in case the customer wants to expand later.
But... you're making money on these!!
Yes. I'm sure there will be those that claim the price I'm offering these units at is too high. After all, in my own hardware guide, I show that the hardware required to build one of these yourself costs under $1500!
Keep in mind that there are several hours of work that go into each rig for assembly, configuration, testing, and packaging. That's assuming that everything goes as it should and I don't have any defective hardware - an individual rig can easily turn into a 15 hour project if I have to troubleshoot issues.
I need to stock enough extra parts and hardware to cover me in the event of faulty hardware. Not to mention stocking a whole bunch of plastic crates and packing materials. =)
I need to deal with RMA process headaches when I get defective hardware.
I need to assume the risk that some customers are going to try to scam me via Paypal chargebacks, etc.
I need to drive these things to a UPS hub to ship them (they're not accepted at other drop-off locations because of the insured value).
And I need to deal with the occasional unpleasant customer.
Essentially, I consider the price that I'm offering these units at to be quite fair. If you disagree, then I've already given you all of the information you need to build your own. =)
Thanks for looking and I'd be happy to answer any questions that you guys might have!
