I bought 36x 580 8gb for 700,00 each...
I think Im going to have 1 year to 1-1.5 ROI.
But I thinks is going to be a good investment.
Lets hope it is!!
700USD? Lol ... That wasn't smart at all.
Thats the Brasilian price of GPU. the payment is 10x (10 months to pay). and you can get 36 pieces of GPU....
Hopes it pays off in a year or a year and half.
the total investment is about 30K usd, with all rigs and parts.
Normally imported things in Brazil are
double the price of the U.S market.
Could the cards be bought from USA, shipped to a forwarder, underdeclared value ($100 per card) and re-shipped to brazil? Or buy it used at lower prices? At $700 you are starting off at a huge disadvantage compared to everyone else. There should be some ways to pay less tax.
Imagine how to move that 30 cards, freghts, duties etc... I thought about it, too much work and the Goods can be stuck in Federal duties for months, I bougth some AliExpress PCIES, but it stuck... waiting to get it free....
I used to work with imported stuff, usually we pay about 100% DUTIES.
In U.S is difficult to buy more than 1 card...
maybe can buy 1 or 2. I was able to buy 30 at once. Its going to be paid in 10 months, so I didnd have to put all my money in. For this market, in MY COUNTRY it´s was kind of good business, now the same GPU s that I bought is valued 900 USD....
So I think I made the right decision by buying those 30 at once, I had 6 already...
