Yeah.  This only makes sense for the Batch #1, #2, #3 boards.
Those are the machines that have 3 modules, and have a spec of 285 MHz & 65 GH/s.  They are typically overclocked to about 350 MHz & 82 GH/s.

Since there are different avalons of different speeds you may wanna revamp this a bit as a multi unit thing can only work if they are all the same type Avalon

To place an Avalon in this auction, please make a post with the following information.  

Bidder strategy hint:  If you want to buy an Avalon for BTC 0.7, place a bid even if no Avalon is available for that amount.  Prospective sellers can see the bids and offer their units based on your bid.

zip or postal code ";"  "BTC" minimum bid ";" url for helpful information, such as hash rate on eligius, or photographs.  The zip code helps bidders figure out how much shipping should be.  I received an Avalon this week, the label said 38.0 lbs, $37.00, from 66219 to 56267, USPS 3-day priority.
e.g.

56267; BTC 2.75; http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1GLDyzXBWNpVYC63Jdy929HnfYJEQ3GHUp

You may change these details by re-posting them.  For example, you may wish to raise your minimum-bid if the auction conditions look favorable to you.  The last posting determines your priority.

Here are the rules for a multiple-winner, multiple-seller auction with minimum bids.

I am willing to act as escrow, blockchain-auctioneer, and general organizer of an end-of-year Avalon flea market.

If you want to buy or sell before the end of 2013, this is the place to be.

Buyers:
Your funds will be at an address that I control.  The seller will know that you have committed, I will release the funds when the seller has proof of delivery.  I will make a final decision in the case of disputes.

Sellers:
This is a central location.  You can get high visibility in the busiest Avalon marketplace.  The funds are paid and I act as your escrow agent.  The network effect means that all Twitter or Facebook exposure helps each of you.

Commission:
I take 1% for my commission, regardless of where I send the funds.

Community:
I, and the Avalon community, need to know what an in-hand Avalon is worth.  For some people, this has important tax implications.  Also, it's just time for a flea market & all around shake-up.

Rules:
This is a multi-winner blockchain auction.  I have held previous auctions of this nature.  The rules will be similar to previous auctions, both single-winner and multi-winner.  This auction will add the capability of multiple sellers with different minimum bids.

Shipping:
That is a pesky detail, isn't it.  Winning buyer pays shipping as an extra expense.  I can't think of any other fair rule.

Schedule:
The auction is live now as a 1 seller, 1 winner auction.  The auction will end at about block 278075 278000.  This block number is subject to change as announced in this thread, to keep the ending time near 11 PM GMT 2013-12-31.

If you want to sell your Avalon in this auction, please post your interest here.  It will take me a couple of hours to write rules that can handle multiple-winners, multiple-sellers, each with their own minimum bid.  The official rules will be dense formal writing, and they will use this document as a starting point.
