Both the APW3++ power supply and the Antminer D3 have been sold. The D3 is currently being shipped, and I'm waiting for the funds to go through escrow.

Thanks to everyone who was interested, and thanks to philipma1957 for providing great escrow service!

Re: WTF? Escrow Services Need A Serious Reboot!

I thought it was up to the buyer to find and pay the escrow service, but perhaps I am mistaken?
You are mistaken. If you solely let the buyer find an escrow, then you're more prone to getting scammed as well. In a deal, both the escrow and the fees need to be mutually decided. With this, I mean that there are cases where the seller pays the fee, and cases in which both parties share the cost of the fee.

If I need to be the one to make contact, who would be the fastest and least expensive to deal with? We almost have a deal, but the escrow price and wait time is killing it, and I'm uncomfortable sending expensive hardware to anyone without at least some protection.
I've posted a link that contains the most updated list of escrows.

Can anyone help me out here, please? If I need to pay the escrow, I don't quite understand the entries in the fees column.
The fees are simple in that thread, either it is a percent of the transaction or a percent with a minimum. For example, for Crypto Escrow Team (CET) which I'm a part of the fees are usually 1-2% with a 1cB (that weird 'c' sign in the table) means centiBitcoin (0.01 BTC). For example, Lutpin escrow fee is now at minimum 5 mBTC = 0.005 BTC.

Thank you for this information, Lauda. With this in mind I've updated my offer, and I don't mind paying a 1% fee like I see one some of those entries, assuming it's actually under $14. I appreciate that this community is so helpful.

I recently lowered my minimum to 0.007 BTC. If the Bitcoin rate stays elevated for a prolonged period I may lower it more.
I wish we had contacted you first as this is reasonable. Especially on a mere $1375 item. But the post said you are .01 minimum and I figured your such a big balla you don't have time for measly shit.
Wrong. The reason because you think that is: 1) You are taking in false information from an old thread that Marco refuses to take down. 2) You haven't checked his own ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303281.0.

I am the new user in question who is selling the Antminer D3. I thought it was up to the buyer to find and pay the escrow service, but perhaps I am mistaken? If I need to be the one to make contact, who would be the fastest and least expensive to deal with? We almost have a deal, but the escrow price and wait time is killing it, and I'm uncomfortable sending expensive hardware to anyone without at least some protection.

Can anyone help me out here, please? If I need to pay the escrow, I don't quite understand the entries in the fees column.

Scrappy, are you willing to go with our original deal of $1375 if we can find a fast and inexpensive escrow?

I'd like to purchase the power supply

I've found someone who's likely to purchase just the D3. Once that transaction is taken care of, I'd be happy to sell you the APW3++ Power Supply. It may be a few days, as I'm currently running the miner until it's sold, and I can't do that without a PSU. Smiley

I'll send a private message when it's ready for sale.

[WTS] Used Antminer D3 October Batch (19.3 Gh/s)

Hello, Bitcointalk. This is my first post here, and while I've been lurking for a while, I finally registered so that I could make this post.

I received my Antminer D3 on October 23rd, and it's been running great. I've kept it in a cool basement with chip temps never getting above 75C, and it's never been overclocked. It's attached to a pair of 6 inch shrouds with short ducts leading out to the front of a cabinet. (mostly for noise suppression) It's been hooked up to Bitmain's APW3++ that I received at the same time.

I'm looking for $1500 or best offer for the D3 alone, preferably paid in BTC. I will include the shrouds free if asked. I can pay shipping, but I only ship within the USA, likely by UPS (how I received it) coming from eastern Washington. I'll also sell the APW3++ power supply for $75 if interested. I'm willing to use the escrow services that everyone's been talking about, but as I'm new here, I may need someone to walk me through that.

One important note: While the Antminer D3 is running just fine, the warranty is likely NOT intact. I admit to being dumb and misreading the instructions which said to inspect the hashing boards before use. I interpreted this as removing each board to check for loose heatsinks. I did not remove the screw with the warranty seal itself (too tight), but I did rotate the cover to access the boards, and this damaged the sticker. Keep that in mind when making your offer.

I'll include a few pictures of the running miner, including my username, and an image of recent mining status.

Please contact me with any questions. If anyone could assist me in figure out how the escrow service works, I would appreciate that.
