I kind of miss the days of cheap btc when I could've grabbed an S5 for $280 to $300
Yeah, those were the days.
In terms of the price vs the S7, if you look at the price that you can pay to get an S7 right now, that would pin an S5 at $522 (eBay or on here the S7's are typically around $2200+), even at Bitmain, delivered a month from now they'd make an S5 $427 - but both of those prices are without shipping, mine is available now and includes shipping, plus you get my nifty acrylic case - that alone is bound to be something that you treasure and pass down to your kids for generations to come.
I would prefer to sell multiple units at a time, and I'll discount accordingly - but if I have to sell them onesy twosy then this is the price. Feel free to PM me any offers and on what quantity of units. In terms of what a 'decent number of units' would be, I would say 8 or more, as that takes out two rows at a time from my Plenum - partial rows are a PIA plus I like powers of 2.
S7 batch 4 and 5 is now open so nope that should not pin the S5 at $522. An overpriced miner is still an overpriced miner regardless of where it is sold. The price per TH of an S7 is $364. If yours were a bit above 364 from bitmain to account for the "must have it now" premium then that would be nice.
Anyways, enough of my thread crapping :p Good luck with the sale!
