They do in deed double dip or charge a fee for a fee, same thing to me as double dipping . and there so called discounts they get back in other ways they don't lose a thing after my last S5 sells there not again I couldn't believe some of the uness fees they charged me .

btw the Avalon 4.1's i bought off the forums is mining a way i wish i had bought them  back then , i Burt up a breakout board over clocking it to much unless somethng was wrong with that board which i doubt i missed used it by oc to high , those Avalon 4.1's are beasts. saving  for a A6 now ,  i want one just to see how far i can push it.

The odd thing was on last gen the 4.1's were my favorite, they were just so darn quiet.   But when selling last gen it seemed first to sell was Bitmain S5's, second SP 20's, and at last one was Avalon 4.1's it just seemed ebay did not have near as many searching for them.   I was surprised on results.

But it also could have to do with me wanting to sell Avalon 4.1's as a set with RPI.  I did not really want to split it up.  Looking back on the 3 I had I probley should have split up and sold separately.

The trouble with Amazon or Ebay is returns.  You have a LOT more liability then selling on forums.  On forums great thing is most likely person knows how to mine, so no teaching.   And I LOVE to teach mining, just not a ton in a row when I'm getting rid of previous gen.  Also on forum you get cash without a cut taken out.

If I don't sell for fair price on forum I then go to ebay.  And I do keep in mine ebay fee's and paypal add up, they double dip with taking too fee's.  The crazy thing is they also take fees out of shipping price on Ebay, as some abused it when it had no fee's.   So I have to markup shipping to break even.

On ebay I put up a Buy It Now, that is high for the item.  This allows for offers to come in to me and I can pick someone with good feedback.  I hate selling to new users.

Amazon is the best for selling plus you maximize your profit by twice what stuff goes for on this FOURM. I still sell here but on things people nickel and dime you on I put on Amazon.

I honestly can understand it a little bit.  I have dipped lower then I wanted on trying to sell my Avalon 4.1's.   If I go much lower might be worth sitting on shelf.  But the aggrivation of trying to sell and no one even throwing offers makes me want to follow suit and go crazy with a hammer..... but I am to sane so I will be selling to low.

But really have to give it to the guy for not worrying about making money on sale.

That guy was really mad haha he could better sell it.

The guy is mental since it was done months ago when the increase in difficulty is not yet changing every 2 weeks or so however with the way things are going to miners, I won't be surprised if someone will do it.

I burned an S1 once. It smelled terrible. I put some wood in it, lit a match and... it was in my basement Smiley

Even with last gen it was a pain to get sell.  I had some GREAT buyer's on here and a LOT of low ball offers on here.  Eventually I but lower price then I had hoped on some gear I could not sell on forum, and put up auctions.

When I got to my last miner and it was not going I really wanted to do something like this to it.... but my ROI side has problems losing any extra ROI.

Have you tried oppening an ebay auction? I see that there are even obselote miners there going for much more than they're worth.

Maybe it's a newbie trap. But I see shit like this there often...

heh

that'd be a good outcome to hope for but unlikely to see profitable miners get the same treatment.  Roll Eyes I was giving the guy the benefit of the doubt by saying he's attention whoring, perhaps he's just an idiot who purchased an S1 recently.

While that proves the subject line inaccurate, I think it makes the whole thing a heck of a lot funnier.

Okay, turns out this thread is trash. The descriptions from the images that were posted 10 months ago suggest its nothing to do with difficulty and the dude is just a bit crazy.

Destroyed bitcoin miners (1.245th/s) plus bonus s1 blades

Pic 1: A few bitcoin miners that were smashed (2Antminer s1(240ghs), 2 antminer s3(900ghs), 1 blackarrow prospero x-1(100ghs) and 2 corsair cx75m). BONUS: 4 antminer s1 blades smashed too! All of these were taken after being destroyed by a very mad parent. Devil worshiping magical internet money making machines

Pic 2: Even PSU's go! it all goes, nothing stays when you find bitcoin gear. Devil worshiping machines.

Pic 3: Bitmaintech, blackarrow, it makes no difference it is all evil

Pic 4: Antminer s3 upgrades and broken corsair cx750m. Everything must go

Pic 5: Antminer s3 upgraded, smashed with it's old blades and updated controller board. See you in hell, devil worshiping magical internet money making machines

Honestly, i think it was junk non-working gear or he was trolling or needed to post something (psycho problems), i would have donated it or tried to sell it first if it was working gear.


if it all worked that was maybe 300 $ bucks worth of gear .

if it is 300 usd worth of gear he should have purchased BTC with it.  then HLOD it

Is there a solid proof that they destroyed those due to difficulty? It's kinda hard to take in since they could have at least sell it to those who invest on old miners for fun even though they wont get any ROI. The only reason I'm seeing here is as if they were all non working unless the owner have some sort of psycho Tongue

Can't believe I missed this.  That is a way to go out with a bang.   

What I want to know is if he made ROI.   Seems like someone craving attention and did it for not a ton of money.  Still a shame to smash gear up, especially the psu's even though nothing special.

Given the lack of S3 housing, I'd guess the S3 boards we see are an upgrade kit and the boards in bags are the retired S1 parts.

The PSUs claim to be Corsair CX750M, which... 80+ Bronze? Not that great, but I see remains of three in there which could have brought in a hundred bucks at least.

 it could have been non working gear .

Even the PSU are the cheap ones, no offense intended, side but those PSU look like the cheap ones. These is not much there of value he or she broke or destroyed, in rage .

it may be a troll like jstefanop said .

Looks like a troll to me...some boards are in static bags...which makes me think they were old/non working boards. Probably same thing with the PSU so he decided to have some fun and troll the internetz...gg

The PSUs are the only real sad thing. I hope he recycles that mass instead of hitting a dumpster with it.

That's what happens when you invest in bitcoin asics, they'll 100% become obsolete after some time. Now, what kind of person gets anrgy at such a predictable outcome? And posts pictures about it as well. I bet this is just attention whoring.

No C1s there, but several of those are S3s. They've got the bracket that lays the controller horizontally between the two hashing boards.

I  noticed no C1 after I posted that  unless he air cooled them and used the box for S5 Water cooling  but did anyone notice nothing above that  ? .

maybe a s2 board or 2 ?.

S3 upgrades.

Found this on the web. I understand why they destroyed the S1 but why destroy a perfect good PSU.
