I don't want to be too much of a spoiler here but you will probably need to come down on pricing if you want to sell, or try ebay or craigslist for better results. Almost everyone here on this forum is trying to make a buck off someone else. Everyone does ROI calculators, and it is hard getting power for free nowadays. Everyone wants more of their money. It is capitalism.
0.35 cents per GH here for monarchs (1.4GH/watt)
0.17 cents per GH on another thread for SP20s (1.5GH/watt)
0.40 cents per GH on s7's someone has (4GH/w)
0.36 cents per GH on some s5's (1.9GH/w)
In all fairness the power supply price is pretty on par with amazon and newegg.
I fully see what you mean, but others would clearly see, this is the best you'll get with the amount of ready to ship products I have. Sure you can get a couple SP20s for 0.17 C/GH but can you get 6? 10? 20 of them? I have a lot of monarchs here and 0.35 per GH is more than sparing for those that want a big amount. But I fully get the society here on this particular sub-forum. It gets this nasty on almost all forum marketplaces. But this thread exists for everyone that isn't a "get an S7, done" type of human.
To be fair, the answer is yes, the price is so high you can get bulk purchase from expensive resellers at that price range, or even cheaper. For example you can get S3's for 180$, which would be a much better deal and you can get tons of them. And the retailer is in Canada too. They even drop their price to 200CAD every other month per S3's.
At that $/GH their overpriced S5's would be about the same $/GH, but better efficiency.
Still, you're the one selling the hardware, not us, so what we think does not matter, if you can find a buyer anyways.
Antminer S3 for $180? That's expensive.
Yes it is, which is my point. You can buy them in bulk at 125-180$, since at that price... Well you get it anyways. Imo still a better deal than this.
Now like I said, i'm not totally ruling out anyone that wants it for a cheaper price. Honestly i'm trying to satisfy a bulk order before I go selling them individually. Notice how you won't see people selling monarchs or in this volume for that matter. Regardless of the statistics, they are well designed, sustainable machines with literally no maintenance required (unlike every single bitmain product, every single KnC product, and every single GaW product. I have at least two of almost everything, and BFL tops in design, stability (though the company has shafted all it's customers, the product itself is exact.)).
Now if you guys want a lower price, buy more than just 2 units. Otherwise, I just lose money rather than just keeping them and start mining with them. I don't *need* to make a profit of the sale of these monarchs as this bulk order for me opened up my line of communication with some other ventures, but I sure as hell want to stay away from a loss. Neutral is fine by me.
If you guys want some, let me know how much (if its over two, AND is a multiple of two). I only want to sell these in twos because otherwise it would make this really awkward (with the way BFL designed these things).
Whats the problem with Bitmain products? I have bunch of AntMiners and the only maintenance i've done this year is blow some pressured air through the fan/heatsink once in a blue moon. But for risk of going off on a tangent, i'll agree to disagree. I just think most buyers here are picky and won't take a deal if the price is more expensive than bulk reseller and even ebay. (For different products, same efficiency, better $/GHs)
Agreed with GAW and KnC. Specially GAW which had no actual product of their own. Just rebranded Zeus.
