Avalon Nano 3S resale value: the numbers
| Window | Sales (n) | Median | Middle half | Low to high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last 30 days | 17 | $160 | $150 to $162 | $135 to $175 |
| Last 90 days | 66 | $160 | $150 to $170 | $125 to $200 |
| Previous 90 days | 41 | $190 | $170 to $202 | $145 to $255 |
Every window covers machines sold as pre-owned. First, we remove price outliers. Then we take medians, because one odd sale can wreck an average. Per TH/s that works out to about $26.67. Shipping is not in these prices. When the buyer paid it, the median charge was $13, and 25% of sales shipped free.
What is driving the Canaan Avalon Nano 3S price
The 30-day median is flat on the window before it. We would not read much into that, because the move is small. However, we cannot see why each buyer paid what they paid. Instead, we see the price that cleared.
Home and converted units sell separately
Some sellers list quiet, derated or 120 V versions of this machine. For that reason, we keep those out of the main figure. Over 180 days they sold for a median of $155 on 11 sales. However, that is a different product from a stock unit, so do not compare the two.
Canaan Avalon Nano 3S price against mining economics
Hashprice is $33.61 per petahash per day today. At the rated 6 TH/s and 140 W, the Canaan Avalon Nano 3S grosses $0.20 a day before power. As a result, its break-even power price is 6.0 cents per kWh.
| Power price | Profit per day | Payback on $160 |
|---|---|---|
| 5 cents | $0.03 | 4750 days |
| 8 cents | -$0.07 | never |
| 12 cents | -$0.20 | never |
Our fair value is a year of profit at 5 cents with hashprice held flat. For the Canaan Avalon Nano 3S that comes to $12. The sold price is 13.0 times one year of cheap-power profit. On mining maths alone, the market is over-pricing this machine, so buyers are paying for something besides today’s margin. However, hashprice moves every block, so this verdict can flip. Also, it ignores pool fees, hosting and difficulty growth.
Buying or selling a Canaan Avalon Nano 3S
Use these numbers as a check on any quote. First, if you want to sell, start on our we buy used miners page. It takes a description and gives you an offer. Next, try the free What is my miner worth? tool. To buy instead, see the Canaan Avalon range or browse all used ASIC miners. Also, every model we track appears on the used ASIC miner prices by model page, and the full table is in the ING Used ASIC Miner Price Index.
How we count these sales
Every figure comes from completed eBay sales that our collector recorded up to October 30, 2026. We keep US-dollar sales of single working machines only. We drop parts, lots, repair listings and sales with no model in the title. Then we remove price outliers. Also, we publish a cell only when 5 or more sales stand behind it. The price is the item price, with shipping left out. For the full rules, read the index methodology. Bitcoin network data for the mining maths comes from mempool.space.
In short, our take is to trust the sold price, not the asking price. For the Canaan Avalon Nano 3S that means $160, give or take the $150 to $162 band.
