If I can get coins direct from miners at 100/150 that's a small profit margin of around $80/100.
So if you decide to become a trader on faxful or other exchange, seems an interesting way to return a profit?

OP. Do you avoid to link to the ebay auction, because you want these cheap Bitcoins for yourself???

No I avoided the link because it looks to good to be true, wanted to hear what other bitcoiners thought.
If I knew it was legit I'd probably have bought several, and have a future source for my trading services.
The seller knows I contacted them twice, ebay's automated email notifications, no one has replied.

don't think of buying it brother. It is a scam and stay away from. You also know that no one can sell bitcoins that much low.

They could in theory if they'd mined them many years ago, but there's no shortage of places where you can get full price for them so it's scamville indeed.

It's amazing that someone could set up a real network of mining equipment based on a virtual currency.
I was just searching there and found BlockTrail - Mint, buy direct from the miners.

What do you mean by "That's for miners with massive economies of scale and tiny electricity bills. "
I doubt I could afford to have mining equipment running but it's very interesting.

Miners these days build giant warehouses filled with hundreds to thousands of miners specifically in places with the cheapest electricity costs. No home miner can compete with that.

I wish I did have a source/miner willing to part with their coins for that cheap, could learn to trader on faxful or something cool.

The few miners who have admitted a cost price have put it between $100-150. That's for miners with massive economies of scale and tiny electricity bills. This Ebay listing is full of shit by the sounds of it.

Fill Your Barrel with Bitcoins!

It's possible you are buying $40 worth of BTC on a paper wallet.

I'll bet you'd be bidding for an empty paper wallet for you to put your own one bitcoin on. Hey, printing is expensive. There's never a shortage of dodginess on there.

Yes don't try to be fooled by the scammer. First think yourself, did you see 1 bitcoin for 40$ if you have 1 bitcoin now? Answer is no, so just be away from that type of scammers.

Just had a quick look on my local ebay last night after watching some video about bitcoins in general.
So I found a couple of guys exchanging a paper wallet for 1 bitcoin that they have mined, for like 36$
One auction in particular seems to have had a few sales already.

Right now I can see one listed for 53$ + 5$ postage, paper wallet.
That's still about 175$ profit if I'm working this out right? if I sell it.
1 Bitcoin for deposit to the wallet of your choice.

I must be missing something, because the last time I checked, 1 BTC is currently worth around 235 USD.

So what are they really selling me, will I get 1 BTC worth the current value around 235$

If this is in fact true, couldn't I jump straight into something like paxful.com as a trader.
As this would be a great source for cheap bitcoins... if this is what they are trying to sell on ebay.
Like if you're buying a btc on ebay for35 bucks, there's a 200 profit margin, I must be misreading.

Just makes me curious.
