That is not my understanding.  All I can tell you is what they told us:  Back during the chaos of the Batch 2 orders website being unreliable, they told us to not worry about making batch 2 orders on the website.  We were told that custom trade ins orders would be created as the FPGA devices arrived at their offices and that they would be fullfilled in addition to the 300 or whatever "normal" batch 2 orders they accepted.

Again, I can't promise that they will actually honor that process.  The uncertainty and risk here is one of the reasons I am selling these FPGA devices to someone else instead of just directly cashing in, myself, by getting an Avalon (which at today's difficulty makes something like 7-8 BTC per day).

BTC only, please.

The trade in assumes there is already existing batch 2 order, right ?

twmz, are you only accepting BTC or will you accept USD as well? Bid in BTC, then convert at market rate and pay that way? Possible or no?

Cheers!

I completely agree.  My previous point was just that he shouldn't feel like there is an opportunity missed here, since, even if I had decided to not do an auction and just sell it straight out, it would not have resulted in faster delivery.

Plus there are already bids placed.  To sell it out from under them would be unfair.

11 btc for both

Practically speaking, because of my work schedule, there is no possible way for me to ship them any sooner that Saturday morning no matter what arrangements were made, so a buyout would not get them to you any sooner.

10.5btc  I want to buy these asap...time = money.  please let me know buyout price.

9.5 for both

Even though that is a bit below what I originally posted as a minimum, I will accept that as a valid bid.

So the current top bid is from greaterninja at 9 BTC for 2 units (4.5 BTC each).

9btc for both

would you take 8 bitcoins for both?

This may or may not  be a successful auction as I don't know if there is any demand for these devices or if the minimum price I am looking for is of interest to anyone, but I am going to give this a shot anyway.

I have two, fully functional Icarus FPGA miners that are available in this auction.  Each mines at 380 MH/s (see screenshot below). 

The winner might choose to mine with these or the winner might choose to trade them in for priority access to Avalon Batch #2 (see below for details).  Note, I do not guarantee anything with respect to the Avalon Trade-in process.  The buyer takes on all risk associated with that trade-in process.

These will be shipped from Wisconsin in the US.  I will cover the costs of standard shipping (UPS ground or equivalent) within the U.S.  I will also ship internationally via the US Postal Service for $50 (in BTC based on the exchange rate at the time of payment).  If the winner would prefer a particular expedited shipping method, I am willing to do that with the winner paying the actual cost of shipping.

The rules for the auction are as follows:

• Each bid must indicate a price you are willing to pay per unit and how many units you want to buy (just 1 or both of them)
• Bid must be in increments of at least 0.1 BTC
• If you are bidding on both units are are only willing to win them as a pair and not an individual unit, say so explicitly.
  
• The auction ends at 4/20/13 02:00 UTC (based on the forum's time/clock).  That is 9pm Central Time in the U.S, tomorrow night or approximately 33 hours from when this topic was posted.
• Any bid in the last 15 minutes of the auction automatically extends the auction by 15 minutes.
• The minimum starting bid is 5.0 BTC

Recommended bid styles:

"I bid 5 BTC for 1 unit"

"I bid 5.1 BTC each for both units"

I reserve the right to cancel the auction if necessary for reasonable cause.  If I do so, all bids are
cancelled.  I'm reserving this right simply because this is the first time I've done an auction like this,
and want an escape hatch just in case I've missed something critical.  (language stolen from casascius' auctions)
