You just have to look at the original Asicminer thread and you'll see all those that invested in AM care about is Asicminer shares, they'd mess with complete bitcoin network hashrate and decentralization just to receive 0.001 btc bigger dividend and see their share be worth few bitcents more.
If you own load of AM shares that gained 1 BTC in value overnight after blades and USB announcement and blades auction stuff, you won't mind spending 75 BTC for nowehere close worth product just to pump those prices.
Friedcat, do the right stuff, get rid off auction bullshit, find a real, realistic price for your products and sell them on fixed price like any serious manufacturer does.
This stuff can just hurt the image of your company. If you follow the greed of your shareholders you'll find yourself doomed at some moment soon or later.

also, how many bitcoins will you have if you bought them in february instead of buying Avalon #2?

Did all auction winners end up paying? I've got my batch #2 Avalon listed in goods at >40% off BlockErupter winning price with no bites from anyone, including those that bid over 42BTC but did not win. Seems like they would be all over a deal like that. I'd have to agree that this sale smells a little fishy.
The difference: blades were immediately available - in fact they have been already shipped. Avalon batch #2... Who knows when it will arrive?
Having the unit on hand makes a HUGE difference.
Yes 10GH/s will get you 0.5BTC today and for the next 5 days, then 0.4 for 10 days, then 0.3 and so on. It will have a head start but when it can only make 0.5 BTC to start off, when difficulty is 5x it will make only 0.1/day - one might be holding their breathe waiting for ROI.
I guess it all depends on whether you trust the network to lay low for a month.

I'm interested to see if these will pay off or not. 76 BTC seems like so much to me. Best of luck to you investors.
i think these guys are betting on BTC in the future is worth more than BTC right now...
In which case the 75 BTC would be worth more as well...
Yes, but the value of 75BTC @ 19th April (when i exchanged cash for BTC) != value of 75BTC @ 1st September.
So just keep your 75BTC until 1st September
If the difficulty grows as projected, those blades will breakeven at best, thus if you think BTC price will rise just hold on your BTC
Simple logic and common sense.

I find it amusing as well as sorry for the poor Avalon Batch #2 customers who paid 5 times less for ASIC machines that can do 6 times the hash rate of ASICMINER Erupter Blades. Hmm.. I wonder who will be better off 2 months from now?
I find it rather amusing that asicminer customers will have their erupter blades sooner than Avalon batch #2 customers will have their Avalons, which have been ordered in february 
This.

The following auctions of blades will be after the collection of the feedback and (possibly) the modification and improvement of the design/manufacturing. But before that there will be auctions of USB sticks as soon as they are available. Shipping will also be immediate.
The users of the first round of auction are granted a free upgrade option to the blades of the improved design with the timescale the same as the free replacement warranty.

I will request John the Dog for escrow.
John the Dong will be amused.
I have seen him referenced that way but thought it surely was a typo, given his forum avatar... My apologies Mr. Dong! I've sent him a PM with escrow request.
I'd like to reiterate that the buyer who purchases my Batch 2 Avalon will be effectively mining on day 1 at 3.57 BTC per day with no difficulty increase. If the price goes down to 300 BTC(6 week delay from Avalon), you will have the option to cancel or wait it out at 300BTC.

avalon batch #2 is 500btc+ as of now. The blade thing is 7 time less cheap, yet only 6.5 time less H. And you can have it right now. Instead it smells fishily delicious.
I'm selling mine for 300BTC. That is >=6.7 times the hashing power of the erupters for just 4 times the price. Much better deal, but no one seems to be interested yet. I'm also offering escrow through a reputable member with coins returned in the event of a prolonged Avalon delay for a higher price(still 11% lower than the erupter auction sale)
Do you have your Avalon with you? How long before it gets shipped?

We're 2 months from huge number of asics on the market, AM's network hashrate percentage won't be remotely close to where it is now and yet people were paying 300 weeks dividends worth amount for one share, lol. What a bloody moron someone has to be to bite that.
Seems you are pretty confident in what you are saying. Why don't you sell an options to buy shares. or futures or whatever. If this bubble gonna burst in 2 months you will be rich.
To Buy AM shares? I wouldn't buy them if they would go to 10BTC each in a week. It's a matter of principles. It's a classic pump priced share and I don't want to sell it to some sucker later just for him to lose most of his money in few weeks when AM network power percentage drops heavily.

Yes, the asicminer blades certainly have some amusement value - even the auction was very amusing.

Every SECOND is precious with your new toy. Hope he shipped it via worm hole teleportation express. IMHO this auction was waaay overpriced. And to think people bitched that Batch 3 Avalon units were expensive. You can be sure that none of them bough these "Erupters".
Dude - at this point, it is pretty clear that the buyers of these boards:
1. Have too much money
2. Did not buy to make profit, not even break even
3. Bought it for historic value (
)I am inclining towards thinking some of the buyers will directly put these on the showcase instead of mining with them at all.
