I did have pretty good luck selling most gear but at times 3 or 5 returns out of 10 items.
This is when sticks were a hot seller on ebay.
I must have sold 500 to 800 on ebay. Most people kept them.
I was lucky in that I was selling them into the bull run of fall of 2013. so people kept them.
I did a 4800 dollar sale on ebay but it was silver bars purchase at 14 bucks an oz sold at 30 an oz and that was into the silver bull run up to 49 an oz so that buyer kept them.
Sent them registered mails as it was the only way to insure them.
I think the buyer would have tried to return them if the market crashed.
market is tanking 339 usd a coinbase.

I really understand the concerns about selling the S7 on ebay. The buyer's protection is easily abusable, even if the item is marked as no returns, if a buyer with ill intents buy the miner, they can buy it, mine with it for a while and then file a item not as described and return the miner to get a refund.
Even though they may simply be a very small vocal minority, its probably a good thing to keep in mind. Not sure if there is a way around that but some users reported this.
Basically without having some sort of "as is" agreement, the seller would take all the risks since the buyer can decide to abuse the system to return the miner if the miner drop in value.

Actually selling with a reasonable return policy (14 days is minimum, soon to be increased to 30 days) is better than "no returns". Yes, you have the 14 or 30 day risk, but outside of that you have a chance that eBay seller protection will work. With a "no return" policy you are almost guaranteed to lose the dispute if buyer claims "not as described" and I think that goes up to 45 days.
I've had mixed success with eBay, got a few of miners returned but overall I think it's not that bad. Never sold anything above $1000 though.
I think the key is it being older gear the latest and greatest I think a lot of the scammers will want as it's the greatest return for them. I had really good luck with my A1's and S4's when updating gear and getting rid older generations.
Granted I took more risk with ebay vs forum sale. But it ended up successful for me. The one Dragon 1.5 weighed almost 50 pounds.... that was safest one I ever felt knowing they were not going to ship that beast back.

I sold thousands of dollars worth of miners on ebay.
but always deeper into the life like 200 usd for an s-3 months after they came out.
selling an s-7 for 2900 sounds good but the buyer may mine for 30 days and they say it broke return it working and basically you the seller are

I keep expecting that too, but I'm wondering if like a lot of us, even the big players are maxed or close to maxed on power consumption and have to take some amount of equipment offline to put newer stuff on, so instead of seeing massive spikes, we're seeing a slow crawl with higher efficiency backing it.
It's an interesting ride right now! I saw an S7 sell on eBay for >$2900 USD! Crazy pricing ATM.
Ive actually had really good luck with it. Very good luck with miners on it compared to forums I normally get more off it. But I do only sale my old miners on there a new miner I agree is a lot of liability compared to one been used for 6 months.
People tend to pay more when paypal is involved even though it can be a pain.

Exciting Week for people like me who are new to Bitcoin, unfortunately this time there was no way I could get any short term benefit from the meteoric rise. Will be interesting to see where we end up in this difficulty period? Let's hope we remain net miner positive, a few more periods like this would be a nice Xmas present.

You should deposit your coins to Bitfinex and sell the coins short while you mine them. Protects further profits from mining. They offer 3x the leverage.
