I might be mistaken, but I think that was his point. If he can buy two S3's and a RM750 PSU off ebay for $247 shipped the asking price of $250 shipped for just the two units on here is definitely higher than what people on this forum is willing to pay. The OP may want to try ebay for the prices that he's asking.
That was exactly my point, thank you.
I got a whole rig, ready to go, shipped to my house across the whole country (NV to MD) for less than the asking price of two S3s.
On here, where the people who know play, I'd expect much lower prices than on eBay. One senior member here is selling S2s for $100 or so plus shipping. He seems to know what it's going to take to move units and takes into account the power suck, etc.
We're all in a wicked game right now. What do you even do with S1s?
All that said, I love it. Good luck with your systems!
Thanks, TDM
Well I am sure that people are selling things for all kinds of crazy prices, but that does not mean that anyone will actually pay that much for them. If a thread has been up for more then a few days then it is most likely that the seller is not going to be able to sell their miner unless they have significant quantities of miners they are trying to move. The reason being that miners tend to be a deprecating asset, so if it is not worth a certain amount to a potential buyer today then it would be worth even less to a potential buyer tomorrow
