These machines have only been running for about 40 days in our farm,
Just as I speculated, about long enough for manufacturer to ROI the machine. Nice business model, they basically get paid twice for each machine.
Thank you for stating it publicly, now if only you'd price them to reflect their used nature!
in 40 days S5 produces just ~$130 minus electricity (has to be at least $18.48 if the cost is 3c/kwh), so no more than $110 produced.
It could pad the margins, though.
And if they get 110 usd in coin before they pack it. Then charge 10 usd extra for shipping
By this charge 50 to ship when they pay 40 to ship.
they are 120 plus 410 which is 530 per machine. The most an s-5 cost to build is 200 usd so an easy 330 profit.
Now I want them to do well. Why? I think they can sell the s-5 for 250 plus shipping and I think it is a bad idea to do it. I think selling low will make make btc drop under 200. Usd
