Hey Avalon, I received you e-mail about the news and i was excited about the possibility on batch 3..so i went to your web page to check the specs for that since i'm looking forward to buy one of your products...but when i saw the price i was impressed. 75 BTC? that's around €4500 eu. or $5850 dls. for the same units as batch 2. That's 3.9 times the price of batch #2, that obviusly will give the chance to a very small amount of buyer to take one of your mining rigs, and i'm almost sure they will be heavy miners already...so mining will become more centralized. That's too bad, because I (and i'm pretty sure many others) will not be able to afford that (i could think about spending $1500, but not 4 times that). Very sad news...

You could start a group buy, teaming up with some others!

That is what many of us did, and it worked out quite well. Initial investment is big indeed, exposure is not trivial: why not to share both risks and profits with like-minded people?

Absolutely, it's brilliant. I made an investment today with another miner, I would not want to invest in a full rig myself.

So did batch #2 start shipping on the 5th? If not, has Avalon revised batch 2 start ship date?

Have a look at the last update from ngzhang:

3, on the second wholesale goods a matter of time: after a few months of round the clock work. Our team needs to leave, and the need to sum up the first batch of production, processing, and improved, and wait for these improved components produced. Therefore, we will delay the second batch shipment time, in late March to early April, the second batch of orders is only a small amount of shipments, from mid-April till the end of the month, we plan to ultra-high-speed quickly completing The second installment of shipment.

So I guess batch #2 has not started shipping yet
I'm having a hard time understanding when they plan to ship the second batch as of now.

They said they will ship a few units of batch #2 at the end of March/beginning of April, and most of batch #2 units at the end of April.

Batch #3 will be probably be shipped in mid/end of May.

I think we can assume NO as all of the Batch #1 customers don't yet have their systems, even some in China it seems (thus no customs holds).

+1 to the question though.

Would be nice to know better information on progress through BATCH#1 and estimated shipping start for B#2.  It seems to be Avalon has been about a month behind, I mean how long did it take after Jeff got his for any other units to really start appearing?  I just wish we knew how far into B#1 are we?  50? 100? 200?  That's the deal no one really knows.

BFL is apparently about to ship. This sucks for batch 2 customers.

BFL has been "about to ship" for 5 months.

Poor impulse control.

Same, save that I ordered on the 3rd and opened a support ticket on the fourth. Not a peep from Avalon more than three weeks later.
Close this ticket and open a new one. Do this every week till you get a response...

Thanks, I guess I will have to do just that. Pester them until they stop ignoring me...sigh.

I thought I wasn't getting a response until I opened my spam folder (duuuuuuh).
