Did you send them the 0.005 BTC per item price suggestion ? 
But serious numbers are 4000 usd divide by 180 = 22.22 usd a gh
so 1.6 x 22.22 = 35.55 would be the minimum possible.
I would think they can sell it at 50usd and make money. I would think I can buy them at 85 usd and make money on ebay and mining 50-50 mix. over 85 I lose interest.
If these work well They sell on ebay at under 200usd more like 140-175. Very short window at that price. Then a big drop.
so .1btc would be my max price
I wouldn't entertain that price, especially for re-selling. I'm not into ripping people off on eBay or anywhere.
I like to be honest and explain how much the devices I'm selling would make back, even if some buyers don't care or don't understand.
If they are over $50USD for a single miner just for a hobby to try out then I might go with that, but in bulk they'd have to be much much lower price.
If not, they can keep them and do the work them selves selling them on eBay ripping people off.
PS. Long live ASICminer, they are the kings of USB miners.

at least you got a reply from them
November 26, 2013, 04:32:27 AM
yep, that's similar reply I got from them, and after my suggestions they never replied back.
November 25, 2013, 05:13:31 PM
Everyone is getting the same single canned reply pretty much from them.
This was mine from 11/16

did he ask you same questions?
Edit. after giving my opinion he never got back to me.
He did. Luckily he replied once but not anymore. Email is unresponsive since he gave it to me.
I have to think that the auctions mean no gb's for now.
I will keep the gb for now. Hopefully they will reply in the future.
$4000 usd for 180 gh miner..that is expensive.
I would be interested in buying 100-200 of these usb miners and i live in HK too. The price would have to be competitive with Red/Blue furies though. I have a list of manufacturers who can vouch for my reliability as buyer. OP, i have sent you a PM

Yeah. I will be back in Hong Kong around 13/12 (14/12). I will contact them hopefully.
Thanks

To all... Now since BITMAIN provided me their sales rep email, I can directly contact them from now on. Hopefully I can announce the price by 3 days (not guaranteed). I know how you guys feel, I am very excited about my first group buy too!
Thanks a lot and hope to work with you guys!
how is it that you're having direct contact with Bitmain and everyone else (including myself) can't even get a simple reply from them.Thanks a lot and hope to work with you guys!
would you mind please sharing how to contact them directly.
I don't want to compete with you as I'm in Australia, I'd like to organize group buy for Australia or just buy to sell in Australia.
Should be enough interest for all as there's lots of interest in the USB miners.
I realised (my assumption) is that BITMAIN will not log in just to answer pm, unlike me
When he/she is online, send him messages. He will reply most of the time. That's how we communicate until he/she gave me the email. Also the email does not reply faster than the forums.and his reply was:

Hi merv77,
We want to sell the U1 in bulk and let the distributor to resell it. I have ask suggestion and pricing information with many resellers. Could you please give us some opinion to us? Our [email protected] is viewed by 2 core member of our team, as well as this Bitmain account.

bitmain has scored on his second auction 30 large units at about 5 btc = 150 btc or 120,000 usd. my guess is he wants to keep his business in the 180gh units.
my guess is the usb sticks may never be available as long as he keeps getting 5 btc/4150.00usd for a 180gh unit…
knc sold 550gh units for 5000usd. bitmains markup on the 180gh units means he won't have to spend time selling sticks. not your fault cxboyminer just a simple business move on bitmain's part. oh well
todays auction
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/auction-antminer-s1-180ghs-360w-on-wall-fast-auction-start-at-only-1-btc-344948
more like 149 btc for 30 units or 4.98btc a unit
correction this was a uniform price auction so the price was 4.75 btc each not 4.98 btc average that is 142.375 btw for 30 units close to 116000 usd for all 30 close to 3900 each

But you're not going back to HK until 13th of December? If shipping were to happen on the 16th of December from HK which is probably quite hopeful then we're not looking at receiving them until the 23rd of December which is probably unlikely due to Christmas postal service in the UK...
That's a massive difference between getting them in the next few weeks.
I was really interested in buying about 20 if the price was right, as I said in a previous post, but I can't commit if we're not going to get them till the end of December / start of January

If I get the price from BITMAIN now and somehow they can ship the batches to me within 3rd Dec, I will be able to start re-distributing to you guys immediately (or next day if i got it at night). HK Speed post offers 2-5 days to all around the world. And If I am forced to be able to ship in HK but not in the UK, you guys will probably (mostly) get it before christmas.
Ref link: http://www.speedpost.hk/speedpost/sections/postageCalc/postageCalc.jsf
I know this is very disappointing, I am trying very hard to get the price from BITMAIN asap and am continuing to do so until they can give me / you guys the answer.
Thanks

Please look at the news section on the first page: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/group-buy-worldwide-1-bitmain-antminer-u1-usb-erupter-closed-and-refunding-339371
I could ask BITMAIN to dispatch the #1 batch of miners to my HK address so that I can start shipping them once I get back to HK. I think this is the quickest way.
Thanks
