Do you guys remember how much heat those little eruptors made, I had to put an external fan on them.
FYI - I messaged Hox, as s/he seems to be the winner. If that falls apart, I'll contact the next person on the list.
If someone was still looking to use these for mining, what would be the argument against that? I'm sure people understand they aren't efficient compared to newer tech and I'm wondering what numbers put that into perspective.
with 3 block eruptors you would make 0.00001065BTC a month. not even enough to cover transaction fees. It would take
Thanks eze. That's a good stat, can't even make enough monthly BTC to cover the transaction fee for sending that months income.
That's why I posted these as "vintage" in the "collectibles" section rather than as mining hardware
Agreed and I hope users aren't buying this for mining hardware! I've heard people (in person) with some arguments for mining that sounds like they've never mined before. eze's point was perfect and puts it into perspective that you'd be better off just buying BTC than trying to mine with these.

6 @ $10 each + shipping
Looks like Hox is leading.
I'm going to work shortly, will check in later.
For those collecting these pieces of history, do you also have the plastic cases?
No, unfortunately I don't!

Actually scratch that out of country one - after looking at USPS prices, I don't think the economics work out. So currently 6 for $50 + S&H... Can I get verification on what country they'ed go to?
How much would shipping cost to India?
Chronicsky and I can place a combined shipping order, if you're interested.
not worth mining but great as a collectible
i will take all or atleast 1-2

Looking at USPS.com's website at:
https://pe.usps.com/text/Imm/il_002.htm
I'm seeing this listed under "prohibitions":
Consumer electronic items, (except hearing aids and life-saving equipment, apparatus, and appliances and parts thereof). Shipments containing these goods up to the value of 200 Indian rupees (gift value) are at present released after the words “Released on caution” have been stamped on the item.
I think it says the cost is $31.95 for a *Padded Flat Rate Envelope*
Seeing the customs prohibition, I wouldn't be afraid to ship it, but obviously could not guarantee delivery, and would not be willing to provide a refund if it wasn't received.
Lets talk tomorrow if your bid(s) are leading, otherwise feel free to let me know that it's not acceptable.
Thanks!
Will take the shipping to minerjones in USA , wouldn't be a problem ?

1 person from out of country asked for one for $40 incl S&H
I doubt anyone else will match that, so lets just say there's 5 left.
Otherwise, it looks like its rusbitcoinuser for $9 ea + S&H (assuming they're in the US, not sure based on the name, if I'd have to be looking how to ship to Russia!).
Still going through tomorrow.

I'd possibly be interested in buying one, just for collectible purposes.
