I bought a few of D3s from the first batch. With so much FUD about profitability, what do you think about selling it for $6k or so for instant 100% gain?

You might make more money by running it in the long run, but there will be lot of uncertainties such as difficulty increase and price change of X11 coins, mainly DASH. It might make sense to just flip it for quick profit for almost no work rather than trying to hodl and mine with it.

edit: I also have some L3+ that is coming in late August. Same question: flip it or mine with it?

Obviously I am a noobie member, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I think its obvious that these machines will not make the returns that the mining calculators are spitting out, for reasons that have already been stated in this thread and many others. That being said, no one knows exactly what will happen with price or difficulty increase rate.

Personally, I ordered eight L3 machines this month, and I plan on selling four of them at double what I paid for them on amazon or ebay. This means I will get 4 free machines, with instant ROI for all eight (if they sell at the price I want, of course this may not happen). This way I can make a quick ~~profit~~ ROI as well as still mine the coins and see what happens with price and difficulty.

I would not do a "pre-sale" on amazon or ebay. 12 years of experience as an ebay seller just tells me this is a great way to get a lot of negative feedback. What happens when you try and sell your X11 miner on ebay, then bitmain sends you some DOA bullshit? Wait until the machine is in your possession to sell it, is my advice.

Thanks for the advice on selling. New ebay seller with 30 feedback here

I bought L3+ with Aug 20 - sept 12 shipping two months ago. LTC yield per day has already halved. Will only go down massively as new batches arrive.

Decision time..
