VMC website problems:
1. On main page it says "Free shipping"
But during order stage 4 I see DHL shipping = $200.
We do have Free Shipping, just order enough product and you will get free shipping.
2. On the order page it says "Available", but in fact it is a pre-order. Misleading.
Please avoid becoming another BFL, and state thing clearly.
Fixed, Every product that is a Pre-Order has a Pre-Order prefix.
3. Pricing issue:
Base model + 1 module = $4000, but Base model + 2 modules = $10,000. How come?
Special price, just purchase as many as you want, no limit.
4. Supply/Demand - the current situation with ASIC market is a joke.
I cannot find an ASIC mine anywhere, except Ebay Avalon for $30,000 bucks. (Which I'm not ready to pay)
Every single company offers pre-orders (with 1 year delay; BFL) or nothing.
If the machines I am selling were in stock, the price would not be $3,999.
My suggestion: Put a batch of production-ready mines on an auction at VMC. Not pre-orders. Actual and working mines.
And place a very small minimum ask of each mine, near production costs.
If you have real working mines traded at VMC at auction, we would *solve* the stupid Supply/demand issue in a short order.
If the auction fails (no bids), the mine temporarily goes to AMC department for in-house mining until next-week's auction. Repeat.
Auction selling will allow the company to determine mine's real, free-market price. AMC should also be allowed to bid.
Capitalism is about solving problems, including supply/demand problems.
As an investor, I don't care if money comes from mining slowly or as a one big sum selling the equipment.
If Avalon sold batch #1 mines for $1300, and a few months later I find an Avalon for $30,000 on ebay, then something is dead wrong here.
