Off the top of my head, i currently have:

16x to 16x  Riser

16x to 1x Riser

Mobo/Hard Drive combo (low specs for use outside of mining, but I used these specificcly in my 4 GPU mining rig. the Hard Drive is enough for Win7 + all mining apps and usages, tomorrow ill get mobo specs and post them)

ATI 7950 GPU

All the lightweight, stackable open frame mining cases you could want, all of which are of fantastic robot manufactured quality




Feel free to drop an offer price on any of the above.

Is there major risk of tarnishing the bar when 'home' testing? Are the rates reasonable to have a professional do it?

Is there a tip on how to verify this a real silver bar?

I found some people selling off of alibaba, not this design but others.

Well I can provide proof this was purchased from SilverTowne.com legitimately. Though as far as verifying that SilverTowne is selling legit Silver, I am unsure how I could do that outside of testing it myself.

You can be certain SilverTowne is selling legit silver. The question is providing proof that this was actually from SilverTowne. Receipt isn't a foolproof way. Someone can buy 1 bar from a reputable dealer just to have receipt, then sell dozens of fakes.

One shady guy on here tried to sell me a 1oz gold APMEX bar, and I nearly bought it. Now I'm not saying yours is fake (I'm sure it's the real deal), but I'm merely pointing out that just because it has a dealer's stamped brand on it doesn't mean it actually came from that dealer.

That makes sense when you put it that way. I was unaware people really went to such lengths to sell counter fit metals on here, especially in such low weight's. Currently the bar in the OP was sold to the user posted above you, however this is good knowledge to have for any future sales I make in this department, which is likely.

In the future, is there any 'proof' I could throw out in the initial offer to help ease a potential buyers mind?

Update: After doing a rough count of inventory, profit margins for helping me rid all of it can range from several hundred dollars to one thousand dollars. Obviously an exact profit number depends on the exact number of cases as well as the price point set. But after shipping costs are deducted, these figures came from an estimated price point that is so extremely low it's practically giving them away.

Certainly a nice chunk of spending BTC for never physically needing to touch a product!

I am an Amazon reseller; my biggest question would be whether or not you could market these as having ANY other uses?

Well currently I am using one myself for my non mining desktop computer. Since it's open frame and my room gets quite hot, it gets maximum air flow naturally which helps tremendously, so above all it's a solid computer case (as solid as a case goes in the open frame department).

I suppose they could be used as some type of desk / counter with shelves every 6 - 9" or so, but I'd have to double check that to be sure it doesn't look too tacky (selling it as one thing when it clearly was designed for something else). Though using the CNC router system for material cutting, if something like a computer desk or furniture is something very profitable to sell, then it's simple enough to design a product specifically for that. I get anal about quality so it would just feel wrong doing anything but creating a new design from scratch based on whatever product we'd market. So in the end, out side of this being a computer case, I can't think of any other uses for these where I wouldn't have that feeling that I could have produced a much better product if that was my intention from the get go.

Looking for a partner(s) to help rid inventory of mining cases for profit.

Already in talks via PM from somebody interested. Even though I am confident he'll end up committing, this certainly isn't a 'one partner needed' thing. With the inventory I have in stock, the more people who would want to join for some quick cash, I can accommodate all Smiley so quick bump encase more are interested

At one point I was manufacturing a bunch of wooden open frame mining cases for sale. Around the time inventory was stacking up, the ZoomHash miner released and really put a dent in the GPU mining market, ever since then I've got a storage room filled to the brim of these GPU mining cases.

Hundreds available off the top of my head (most unpainted, some however are painted various test colors). 40% or so of them are already assembled, with about 60% of them unassembled (they easily are a DIY assembly with only a few pieces and no tools/screws required.) for those who want to save on shipping.

They currently sell spuraticly in 1's and 2's, however regardless of these sales it really just isn't making a dent in the overall bulk I made. What I am looking for is somebody who can help me sell these in a bulkier fashion (really any sale would get you paid, bulk or not) and in return keep a % of each sale price for your troubles. Obviously I would take care of all the shipping/packaging/inventory on my own, all that needs to be done otherwise is get some proper sales. Due to how many I've sold in the past verses the total cost for manufacturing, I can pretty much work with a seller on any price and have it be a fair deal on both ends, so there is major leeway as far as pricing goes on my end.

These cases are stack-able, with a table top lid and optional 7 inch expansion tray for things like dual hard drives and such. Crafted on a 3-axis CNC router system using quality wood/bits, every one of these is superb looking and don't vary in small measurement differences between one another like a hand crafted case might. While most are unpainted, I'd happily paint any and all a buyer would want if the low cost of paint is covered in the sale price.

Please check out this old eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221418186789?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649   for full description and various pictures of this particular case.

Plus, I also have cases for ZoomHash Gridseed's that are made with equal craftsmanship and stack-able all the same. Available to hold 10, 20, or 32 ZH Gridseed's, all assemble within minutes without tools/screws required, all of them unpainted (as it stands). A fraction of the inventory available compared to the GPU cases, but still enough around to make an nice additional profit if there is any interest with them.

Please check out this old eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221405565743?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649   for full description and various pictures of the ZoomHash case.


All inventory is in the Washington, DC, USA area, and would ship (or is available for Pick Up) from the same location. Anyone interested seriously in this is welcome to a case for yourself if needed to see first hand the quality of these cases are as described, so you know first hand that these are as described accurately prior to putting your reputation on the line when 'selling' them. I would love to rid myself of this inventory in one sale, however at this point I am willing to sell whatever I can (be it bulk or solo cases at a time) in order to just get these off my hands and free up some storage space.


Appreciate you taking the time to read this, as far as specific questions on pricing / personal profit, these can all be worked out personally between myself and the interested party.

Re: WARNING! 40 000 USD was stolen fom BTC-e.com account!

Your thread title is inaccurate. Your money was not 'stolen'. You didn't use 2FA which helps to prevent unauthorized access. Someone gained unauthorized access to your account and made unauthorized trades. This can at least be partially attributed to your refusal to use 2FA, using Tor and a number of other factors that are completely outside of your exchange's control.

If btc-e actually cooperated and provided any information of other customers in this situation (without a police/court order) it would set an alarming precedent and I am sure they would lose many customers over it.


Wouldn't his BTC/Cash still be considered stolen? I mean if someone breaks into your house while your away and you only locked the one door lock, would it make it any less of a break in or explained as a 'unauthorized entry' because the home owner had a dead bolt and/or alarm system that he didn't use? Sure he had extra precautions he didn't utilized that may have prevented the break in, but it doesn't lessen the fact that someone still broken in to his house all the same, no?


As to the OP, you should defiantly enable 2FA if you haven't yet. Say your house gets broken into, you are basically using the argument "I didn't bother to lock my door because thieves could have just picked the lock anyway". Hopefully that puts it into a better perspective.

Very sorry for that loss though, I do hope you get some form of resolution from it

Not too sure, was really looking to see what offers may have been made.

I'll go through and get the value of each of these so I have somewhat of an idea, then i'll post a figure.

Sorry for the late post!

Decided to go with user 'desertfox470', as I think he could benefit well from one by implementing it as another layer of security for his website project.

I may have another one or possibility even two more to give out, but won't know for sure until tomorrow. So if you weren't selected now I apologize, but please keep tabs on this thread over the course of the next day or two to check if I have any more to let go!

desertfox470 if you can, PM me with shipping details on where I can send it.


Thanks!

Thanks buddy!

Well as for the legitimacy of these, I can provide bills of sale from reputable online vendors, so hopefully that will be enough for a buyer, as I am unsure what else I could do.

And I'd absolutely do escrow. I want the buyer to feel as comfortable as possible so that surely is not a problem.



Take care!

I'm sure I can come up with a receipt. I don't currently have one but I do know where they were purchased, it's just a matter of revisiting the website to see If I can come up with a purchase list.


Since I know for a fact they are real, any idea on a good price point for the lot? (Obviously I'd have to prove the legitimacy of these before I could officially sell)


EDIT: So far found where I bought the 5 OZ Silver bar from (SilverTowne). Retrieved an old account which led to a bill of sale. Still working on locating where I purchased the others.

EDIT EDIT: Found a bill of sale for the rest Cheesy


Thanks!
