I'm gonna guess that when he bought this, the Avalon was the highest GHs/1kUSD miner out there. Now BFL has bumped theirs to 60GH/s, and he wants one of those?

Not necessarily the BFL. But with the similar causes.
I think I'll just cancel one order for save time.

I find it pretty unethical to buy for the purpose of taking up a slot and then marking it up.

These vendors should simply make the orders non-transferable, period.

I transfer this order simply because I'm unable to bear the risk of price war. I need to decentralized my orders, period.

I really do not understand what you're saying. Huh

You bought one but you don't want to pay for this because of the risk of a price war ?

Maybe it's an idea to buy something, pay for this and then sell...

Hmmm, I think it's more basic than that. (pun intended)

I see what you did there!

Ya I saw right after I posted.

In the first batch, I bought one more than I wanted, for the purpose of reselling later when all 300 were sold. Now that it's unlikely anyone can buy more Avalons for $1300, is anyone interested in buying my extra one for more? I'll probably setup an auction thread, if there is enough interest, and assuming ngzhang/Yifu can change the ship address on my order to the auction winner's. So, who missed the boat and is willing to pay a premium to get a first-batch Avalon?

I'll pay 1299.01$

I don't know... Not everyone could make the time slot. I think it's a good thing if there is a market where I can pick up a unit. If I have to pay a small premium? Free market. I can choose not to buy.

Exactly. It just causes unnecessary work for these developers. Even a larger company like BFL doesn't do it because it takes up so much time.

Cancel and refund this guy...

first i thought, wtf?! is this legal?, and what psilan said, but I guess this is how the free market works, with (limited:300) supply/(unlimited)demand ... I don't think I would have done the same thing if I could, too much hassle to change the pre-order address and it doesn't seem fair imo

Very interesting...

Butterfly ASICs claim to do 60GH/s with only 60w!!

https://forums.butterflylabs.com/content.php/117-Announcement-BFL-ASIC-Release-specifications

What do you think about this? Will Avalon ASIC get near this performance/perwatt ratio?

15mins left

You still haven't answered my question about discount. Given that BFL is now 60 GHs like Avalon but they claim to be able to deliver before you.

not quite understand your question.... Means: the price war should continue ?

Well some sort of war must continue, be it price or performance. Welcome to the free market.

yeah, i agree with you. but qualified soldiers should not fire all bullets at one time. Grin

lol

I agree. Hopefully you will surprise us in a good way

Keep up the good work.

Also when you get the chance can you please clarify if you'd be willing to accept multiple Icarus boards for the trade-in program.
