ETA: I called FedEx and they relatively quickly (though through many transfers) approved my claim and forwarded it to USPS for them to approve, since they're the ones who do the actual refund. If they approve the refund on their end, they'll refund the $87.35 in postage. I paid extra for it to be delivered via GXG because I didn't have it delivered the day I said. Since you're the one damaged by delayed shipment, it's reasonable for you to be refunded the entire amount via BTC once I've cashed their check, which should arrive in 1-6 weeks (pending USPS approval of the refund).

Cheers,
Ben

Given that you are the one doing most of the work and I'm the one missing 10 days of mining I propose you split the refund: half for you, half for me.
No objection from me.  Grin

I am so glad to see a civil and productive conversation.

Just received a text message from Kluge: posted ~2 days ago. There's a 6 hours timezone difference between us so I can get his message the day after he sends them...
Fedex can't deliver on time (just got the package from them today)...

Their first attempt was January the 28th (while I was skiing in the Alps...) 6 days after Kluge sent it.
Kluge did everything he could to deliver it on time and even paid a premium for quicker delivery but unfortunately it didn't help at all.
Shit. Wish you'd have PM'd me (not your fault - I just haven't been around). I'll file a claim immediately and pass on whatever they give me to you. They were obligated to have it to you the day after I shipped.

Disregard my PM. Wink

Bidding's over. Sorry I'm 20m early.
I've paid in full. See transaction here :

Kluge seemed to have problems shipping it. I'm still waiting for shipment confirmation.

Another question: is it possible for you to ship the same day that the bidding ends (the 18)? Given you reputation I'm OK with paying before shipping and can do it at 5pm precisely.

I think it should be OK with adapters.
16BTC total with shipping, which should be less than 3BTC.
So if your bid is 13 btc (without shipping)

I bid 13.5 btc. (minus shipping)
Actually at the current BTC price it's more like 13.5 BTC + 2.5 BTC for shipping.

Anyway I'll raise to 20 BTC for both boards + shipping at 2.5 BTC.
After thinking about it I'll choose the 3-5 days delivery at $47 instead of the 6-10 days delivery at $38. $47 is approximately 3.1 BTC at current prices.

2 days left!
How much would be the shipping to France in less than 10 days and with robust packaging (boards in original packaging or enclosed in bubble wrap padded with styrofoam chips or equivalent). Good packaging is important (someone sold me 5970s in a large box using only newspaper as padding material, they came out of the box bent and I had to ask a refund and send them back).
As a rule of thumb you should be confident that a package can survive at least a 40 inches drop on an hard surface, especially for international shipping were lots of different people handle the package...

Edit: I reread your earlier post about shipping to Europe, that would be $41 then or currently less than 3 BTC if I'm not mistaken.
It's in original packaging. Even comes with original tape (uhh - yeah, I guess I should tape over that, just in case Tongue ). I put them on risers and basically ran them inside the boxes after tucking the cardboard flap back.

Oh. If it wasn't assumed, the units do come with mini-USB->USB connectors. I believe one isn't original, though, so if you were looking for a truly "authentic" experience..... SoL. (One was malfunctioning when I bought it, changing the adapter cable solved the problem)

France shipping:
1-3 business days, $79 for both
3-5 business days, $47 for both
6-10 business days, $38 for both
"whenever," $25 for both
Another question as we don't have the same outlets and voltage in France.
Is the power supply modular (ie: is the 110V cable with American outlet adapter easily replaceable with a 220V cable with a French outlet adapter)? A photo of the power supply would help. Ideally there would be DC barrel to molex adapters (if the units use 12V which they probably do) I've seen someone selling hand-made ones but I'm not sure if they were meant to be used with Icarus boards.
Hrm... This one's more difficult. I *THINK* they should work, but I don't know enough about the differences between NA & EUR electrical wiring to say for sure. I can take a picture and upload, but not here, and I won't be going somewhere I can mooch off a high-speed connection by the time the auction ends. The power supplies are two-pronged (no ground), have input rating allowing 100-240V. The power adapter is labeled a "switching" adapter. I'm not sure if this relates to "switching" between different input voltages or the AC-DC switch. If I could load the Icarus page (I'll hit "refresh" on this page 2-8 times before my post actually posts), I could see if he had a separate North American and European version.... If he just had one version, it seems safe to say it was probably designed to work with either voltage inputs. ... But again, I'm not saying that definitively because I wouldn't be too pleased if the board worked, then fried.

(while I'm staring at the input specs sticker, 1A max draw, 50-60VA - 50-60Hz. The output specs show +12v, 2A max.The part number is R33215 from Sunny.)

You know -- lemme just email ngzhang and double-check. I'll get back with you. It'll probably be tomorrow before I hear something, so the auction'll be extended to 5pm EST tomorrow (Friday). If you want a "conditional" bid depending on what nghzang says, that's fine with me, too, fwiw.
