If any of you guys are actually serious about wanting to sell your S3's, S5's, SP20's and they won't talk to you, shoot me a PM. Bonus if you live if the northwest where I can pick them up. If not we will need to use some reputable escrow here and the shipping is going to cut into what I can pay. I'm busy so don't take offense if I do not respond immediately. Scammers don't waste your time.
Topic: MegaBigPower Opens Buyback for Unprofitable Bitcoin Miners (Read 5019 times)
Sent an offer a couple days ago and have heard nothing back yet either. I was offering S3s S4s and Sp20s. I will update this if they do get back sometime this week.
Somebody should send a request saying they want to get rid of an S5 or an SP20, see if they reply.
I fished a quote for SP10,20,30's and S3 & S5's. Will let you all know IF they make an offer.
11 Days and nothing but crickets.. (edit 22/03/15)

My guess is that unless you have very recent equipment such as the latest models from Spondoolies or Bitmain then they aren't interested.
This is all that I can think of. They should still message back though just because it is the right thing to do. My guess is also that they do not have enough staff to answer everyone. I think they said they were only interested in the S3 and the SP20. I may be wrong though.

Sent out a request today, I'll report back if/when I hear from them.
I did it on the 4th and have not heard anything. It is not a big deal to me. Just did it out of curiosity more than anything.
FWIW, I've sent in a request for a quote on 1.5THs of Bitfury rigs that Dave originally sold me, and have not yet received a response as well.
Did this on the first day of the program being announced.
Perhaps they don't want them ? *shrugs*

Actually I have tried to contact them for a couple of different things, not just selling miners to them. I was simply posting my experience with them. I certainly didn't email them and send a PM and expect am immediate response, but I do expect a company that runs well to respond to customers.
I have tried to contact MBP through their website and also by PM here on the forums... It seems they are to busy to answer questions or respond to inquiries so I am going elsewhere... I can see doing business with a company that doesn't respond.
Maybe they are a business and don't work on weekends.
I appreciate the comment, hope you feel better.
I sent e-mails about 10 days ago and again about 5 days ago. I also sent a PM about 10 days ago. I believe it was prior to this thread being started.

Thank you, I was feeling fine so no need to feel better
Glad we cleared that up, maybe if you had mentioned how long you had been waiting in your first post I wouldn't have bothered
Peace

You are correct and I sure wouldn't want to live there
"Newfoundland was a province of Canada from 1949 to 2001, now known as Newfoundland and Labrador."

Then clearly moose hunting is not a priority for you. I'd move there if it didn't mean divorce
.Great place to live.
Great place to put miners.
Sounds to be like Canada's the place to be if you're into the three M's: Moose, muskie and mining.

Hype or not, it's fairly accurate. Spondoolies has always mentioned in the past that their margins were not great. In addition to ASICs, each board in the SP20 contains 16 VRM phases (twice as many as an S1) compared to the S5's zero VRMs. The controller was designed entirely in-house instead of leveraging an off-the-shelf devboard. By a pure components count I bet the SP20 is over the S5 by a full order of magnitude. The PCB very likely contains quite a bit more copper as well, given the current density required for their ASIC topology. That they sold SP20s at the same price point as an S5, I'd believe the last of the machines they actually took a loss on.
I'm going to try as hard as I can to make a solid miner design in the next several months, and if I can do what I want to do you'll eat those words.
Anyway, MBP's miner buyback.
Remember, none of these companies are out there to support miners.

yeah once they were selling them at 500 with shipping included they were not profiting .
