That's awesome! get it up and running and let us know how she runs 
It's been running for over an hour now. Seems to be averaging out around 56+ GH/s.
Just wish I had not lent out my killowatt meter. I really need it right now.
Then you need to change your ebay ad.

ad link? lol
I can't believe you're trying to sell it man. You had the foresight to get an early order and now you don't have the foresight to leverage that into a massive gain... then again - I suppose if you can sell it for this silly price you might be able to do almost the same thing with asic generation two devices.
Awesome
I wonder what the lifespan will be
So, the first Singles were supposed to be 60 GH/s and this one is only putting out 56?
I realize that is technically within +/- 10%... I just hope this turns out to be the exception.

At a price of $15,000 and difficulty rising at its current rate based on the last 10 difficulty rises the ROI is NEVER!
Just go to this calculator http://www.coinish.com/calc/#, hit the expert button and enter the values to work this out for yourself.
I guess you could hold onto the coins for a few years hoping that the bitcoin value will rise significantly
Unless you are buying with stolen credit card/paypal account. Then it's nice. Just go to this calculator http://www.coinish.com/calc/#, hit the expert button and enter the values to work this out for yourself.

If BFL is shipping that is an insane price. i hope nobody is dumb enough to buy unless they are ok with a 1 year ROI and thats only IF they are lucky enough for the network hash rate to stay low or the price of bitcoins to shoot up again. Lucky for you, there is a idiot born every minute.
Dont get me wrong. Its a bit of a knee jerk reaction and people can buy what they want, i just question their thought process. I dont question your motives
because why risk ROI over the long term when you can get cash now AND mine with it.

Glad to see some people actually getting their BFL units. I can't wait to get mine!

For every 1K under 25K on the final sales price will cause a delay in shipping by one week. Please do not bid if you have a problem with this!
Creative, but really?
I'm not sure you can actually do that and not violate EBAY ToS...
Yeah, really! ebay charges a fortune for "reserve". If they give me any problems then I say good by to ebay for good.
If you're willing to do that aren't you just as willing to screw over the buyer? You have already said several things that would keep me from ever buying it from you.
I see your point; just don't buy. screwing over a buyer vs. leaving ebay for being inflexible on their TOS that I don't even know what it says is not the same in my view. But to each his own. I've been on the edge of never selling on ebay again and I have a perfect rating. If they [ebay] give me problems, it won't be a problem for the buyer. I'll just move over to bitmit where i also have a good rating.
Like I said in the listing, if you don't like how it is then just don't bid. Pretty simple really.
I guess making multiple orders the first day and paying extra on shipping has paid off.
Received BFL single today and took some screen shots to share.
I'll admit that I did receive an email when it shipped from BFL asking me to share PICs and I agreed.
This has made my day. Good luck to all those still waiting. I'm still waiting for many other BFL Miners I have
ordered for friends, family, and myself.
Forgot to mention: I had lent my kill-o-watt meter to a friend so I will have to get back on that one.
Powered with two PCI-e power connectors (same as the GPUs)
Stop at Fry's on the way home to get a good power supply.
Here's the miner setup and working away. approximately 50+ GHs (average looks around 54, but
need to let it run longer to know for sure)

Thanks! that was a close one. Glad no one had bid yet. I changed it to new other. I didn't put any details because the target audience shouldn't have a problem understanding the situation.

What's with the 1 week delay? Are you going to be mining with it during that time?
Oh yeah! extra burn in testing for the buyer :-) I'm such a nice guy.

Looks distinctly... old, scratched and used, not a nice polished surface. Maybe it's just the photos...
Have fun mining! Make sure to update with power usage.

Now you say that, I kinda see where you are coming from!
I reckon BFL held off are and still holding off sending out LOADS of miners because they themselves are mining a MAJORity of them first >.<
simple test.....
Open it up and check for dust/signs of heat marking.
If there are none, then I would suspect the bubble wrap, we have a similar problem in the China factories, we find the Bubble wrap is sometimes CRAP and will actually damage a products painted surface due to impurities in the BB wrap.....
Also certain types of poly bag has the same effect...., it depends on the paints chemistry.
The other thing is that if you ordered early it should be a 60GH/s unit.........
Yeah, I'm not the best photographer, but you nailed it. It was from the bubble wrap and the surface seamed a little porous. I was able to wipe it off with a slightly damp cloth.
