0.5BTC with free shipping is a bit on the pricey side, but it's relatively reasonable for single units.  Obviously if you are buying in quantity and don't mind a 1-2 week preorder it's a helluva lot more expensive, but I've been selling my current inventory off at 0.45 with free international shipping and accepting preorders at 0.35 with free international shipping.

So while people might be jumping down his throat right now, it's actually not too far out of the ballpark.  Are my sales going at the rates canary's are or BTCGuild's?  No, because most people are willing to wait for the wholesalers, but for the people who want something today, we retailers fill the demand in this area.  I'm willing to have a much lower sales volume for a slightly higher profit margin since I do this on the side and could never dedicate the time it takes to be a wholesaler.

I'm sure that these will sell soon enough for the OP.  There is actually a shortage right now (I sold out today, and don't get any more in stock until the middle of the week) so people who want one now and don't want to wait for me (or others) to get them back in stock will be willing to pay the 0.05BTC difference

10 @ 0.2 btc. offer actual till next difficulty recalculation

its nice to see more buyers being wise.


For what it is worth, everyone said buying 5830's and mining was a waste of money "back in the day."

Then I bought 16 anyway, and turned them into a 1 year old Ford Explorer in cash some time later...

and then you woke up?

People were saying to ditch mining and "invest" early summer 2011...

Remember when we "hoped" BTC would hit $1 parity?



i wasn't even around back then. i thought bitcoin was a scam up until about september of last year when i finally took some advice and looked into it. i started out mining some litecoins, then i joined this forum some time around may i believe and i quickly became a bitcoin supporter there after. cool story though, although you should be slapped for buying a ford.

If you want to buy between 1-99 they are 0.33 BTC each right now through forum members (ie directly through canaryinthemine). Before difficulty increase forum members would sell used one for 0.25 each. If you buy over 100 then you're looking at 0.31 brand new. BTCGuild has always been about twice the price as Canaryinthemine.

When you can buy them brand new for 0.33 BTC, there is absolutely no reason to spend greater than that amount for used ones. With the difficulty increase I suspect canaryinthemine will be lowering his prices in his next posting as well.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?
they are probably backordered because people are using coupons. you can get them in a group buy for .31 new

yup, but that involves purchasing >100 Units and also being involved in a group buy. If you just want to buy a few erupters, the aproximate going rate is about .5 BTC. Also, with coupon from BTCGuild, they are .4 BTC each.

What is your bottom line price?

I'm not entirely sure how much lower I'd go. Certainly if someone was offering to buy a fair amount, we could negotiate a price reduction, however the public offers I've recieved so far, I would not consider. As I posted in the OP, keep in mind that BTCGuild has now 388 backordered units at .5 BTC each. And there are many other forum members selling Erupters also at around .5 BTC each. With BTCGuild, you are preordering essentially. With one of the forum sellers, you have a definate shipping date.

Yep, I'm not too worried about these selling fast. Back in October 2012 or so, people were panicking trying to get rid of their GPUs because of the ASICs that were supposed to hit at the end of the month, and the difficulty would rise. Well, I bought in on the panic and got a few GPUs for the short term before selling them to some gamer friends. Managed to make something like 80 BTC, and I'm not too convinced that the same thing wont happen again. Yep, the second gen ASICs are coming, but for all we know, they could be 8 months late again. I said in my OP that mining is a gamble, and that each person will have their own interpretation of what will make a ROI or not. The calculators are a good starting point, but they really can't predict the future, and are lacking a few details that people may or may not figure out.

Still Available. Shipping costs are assanine out of country. I can still ship out of the country, but with shipping cost ranging from $25 to $80, I'd assume its cheaper to find a seller in your own country.

Within the U.S though, as I said the shipping costs are included in my pricing.
