Hope you don't mind - Like any good shopkeeper with a product that hasn't moved: I've changed the site price to $18K BTC Buy it Now price on our site for one of the R5/R6 miners.

Also, I'm sorry master of digits, but I didn't see your Dec. 9 msg. and I apologize that one of the other co-op leaders didn't cover this. No excuse, but there's about 50+ threads I've started or been a major part of, I have about 90 pages of PMs, and we get hundreds of site support tickets because BTC mining interest has taken off. It's no excuse, but honestly, shit happens. I've also been super busy meeting investors and company founders, on top of my day job to get you guys these deals.
An important note: we didn't need a unanimous decision but a majority decision, which we did get. When we did have a majority vote I listed this on the auctions forum, our site, and authorized philipma1957 (and any other co-op member with high ebay ratings) to list this on ebay *if* they could set it up in such a way that we don't get screwed by PayPal.
Democracy can move slowly sometimes but I'll tell you about the difficult balancing act that I, personally, have to walk as one of the co-op leader/founders. Even I can't move quickly in some things, when it comes to dealing with other people's BTC or hardware.
In a democracy, not everyone is going to be happy all of the time. We *really*, *really* needed to make sure that we wouldn't get screwed over by a PayPal chargeback, which is the avenue which would've yielded the highest price...at the highest risk.
How would you feel if ebay/PayPal seized $26K of *your* funds for half a year because some person did an illegal chargeback on their PayPal shares that they purchased from -R-? He was doing this at no extra fee (sometimes even eating some of the Tx costs, without even charging any fees for his below cost GB shares, and that's how he gets re-paid. Lovely
One person ruined this payment method for everyone else and pissed off all of the co-op leaders to not want to do future business with ebay. I say it was an illegal chargeback because the scammer got *exactly* what was promised, it was delivered at below cost, made a profit off this, and
anonymously is *still* receiving payouts! Yes, that still sticks in our collective craw, and this most accessible escrow/sales method is something we're not fond of with their high fees.
If there was an ebay chargeback, guess who would be footing the bill? It wouldn't be the co-op members that have already been paid out, that's for sure...

As for true escrow: we'd love to team up with escrow pros. True escrow with licensing and bonding requirements is an expensive proposition.
