I think it will be a difficult sell since the SP35 is coming out and is $3600 and runs 5.5th. I would be interested in buying multiples but i am not interested in paying $0.14/kwh since i get it for way less. The hosting contract kills it for me since it essentially eliminates the already difficult task of paying for the equipment. Secondly, If you have 100 units you would have got a significant discount from HashPlex for the amount of kwh you were buying. Lastly, how long have the units been running, cause if it has only been a month in the contract and you are already wanting to sell, i suspect you have realized that the ROI on $6500 for 4.5th was terrible.
good luck...keith

So let me clear up some confusion regarding the pricing on these units. First, the price we quoted $6,537 ($3,401 miner + $3,106 hosting) was based on what a buyer would expect to pay for one SP30 hosted at a professional facility. The units take between 2,880W to 3,000W each, so you can't just plug these in at your house. For total transparency, we paid $373,000.00, including shipping, for 100 SP30s that were delivered and finally installed on October 12, 2014 at Hashplex. Electrical readings at the wall showed an average pull of 2,880W each, for a total consumption of 288,000W. We paid approximately $298,000.00 for a one year hosting contract that would run through October 12, 2015. This equates to a pre-negotiated price of $0.118 KWh, which is extremely reasonable for 24 hour remote monitoring, expert care and maintenance, and insurance. Again, we quoted sale price at $99.00 KWmonth because this is the price for one SP30 miner.

So, if you do the math, we offered an individual price of $6,537 for miner+hosting for ~11 months, which when multiplied by 100 units and compared to the actual price we paid per unit ($6,710 each), is approximately $20,000 less than what we actually paid. It's a very fair deal for all involved.

Peace and joy!
