i dont see it is profitable to buy any ASIC miners now, only if u have free power suply

If you have free electricity, don't go for ASIC. Go for primecoin..

Buy up all 2nd hand GPU and mine the hell out of all Alt would be better...


buy up 2nd hand and when they broke you dont have warranty

That's the reason why they are cheaper, just don't over clock too much and temperature below 70c would be great

 
not agree with you.
IF you pay 250$ for new GPU, you have warranty if it brokes
IF you pay 150$ for used GPU, if it brokes you loose all your money.

If it is OC edition why the hell you shouldnt clock it?!
Oh wait it is used and you get 450 Mhs instead of 650

where is logic

It depends on how much of a discount you get and how likely the risk of failure was.

When new HD 6990s were >$700 I bought 40 used 5970s for $250 to $400 ea.  2 were DOA which I disputed w/ ebay and returned for refund.  Of the other 38, two of them died over the next 18 months of mining.  I probably saved >$10,000 compared to new.
