Bobsang3 already bought some earlier. Hopefully those guys that paid can negotiate a refund for the lower price. I assumed bobsang3 was going to sell those on his website.

Maybe DZ could do a GB for another 500?

 


Merry Christmas sf2.

 Yeah they did a big price drop 45 to 33.  I think they are pushing out 26000 sticks.   So there would be sellers on ebay,  but I did hold my own selling AM sticks.  

I thought it could be a way for us to go a bit beyond just mining.  what is nice about the sticks is buyer fraud is lower since the sticks cost less.

save this space.   I am not the only member with a very good ebay account it just seems   like a nice price for the sticks for resale purposes.  even if we buy 500 sticks for 33 btc or about 21780 usd .  It gives us a chance to be a bit more diverse.


here is my ebay info you can see i sold lots of sticks

1000 sticks = 66 btc    1 btc = 660usd at coinbase

https://coinbase.com/transactions

so 1000 sticks are 43560 usd    or 43.56 usd a stick

sold in a set of 2 on ebay  at 180- 220 a set  would be a nice profit.  this is a different venture then we have normally done.

  I do have a lot of experience selling sticks on ebay.


My account would allow me to sell a pair at 200 with about 10% fee or 20 and 6 to ship in a small flat rate box.  so 200 - 20 =180 -6 = 174 for 87.12. = 86.88 for a 1 pair sale. 500 pairs would mean a 43440 profit on 43560

  yeah  there would be some losses here and there a bad buyer a few dud sticks.    but that is a good markup.  

even if we had to go as low as 2 sticks for 160.00 you clear 138  usd for   87.12  or 50.88  for a 1 pair sale  this would be a  25440 profit on 43560
