There will be enough people selling the chips once they arrive, I don't see any reason anybody would pay a premium for a pre-order before it has even shipped. There's nothing to indicate that there will be much delay between, say, first order placed, and 5th order placed. Once the wafers are made and packaged, they'll all probably ship within a very short time of each other. This isn't like BFL where there's going to be months of extra wait time for every week you are back in the queue.
^ doubtful.
And yet nobody agreed with you enough to over-pay for chips... Not even you.
I've already purchased my chips in steamboat's 1st batch. Also, I don't entirely trust ragingazn.
If you do some digging, someone was offering a 66% premium for batch 1 chips.
