So My comments keep getting removed  as  they are  "off Topic " lol  thats some kind of shat  lol             can no body else see  what i see   they charge ~3-4* as much for  batch 3    and  they are sold out  within 30 min     i can safely say that  THE GREEDY GET GREEDIER.   lame ass asses  jus gotta have it all     well  lets see when only certain few hold a majority or power  id have to say that bitcoin is moving toward centrialization  faster then we can stop it  shouldnt  they want to spread the power out more evenly so that not only certain few have ahold of the market   seems to me that  only SPECIAL PEOPLE CAN HAVE THESE THINGS

the market makes the price.

I regularly see hugely overpriced little plastic parts that probably cost about €0.05 to make, yet they sell for €7.95. Why? Because 3d printing is not yet prevalent and the part is only made by one supplier. The customer is voluntarily paying the price, so the part must be worth €7.95 for him. The market makes the price.

These dudes managed to manufacture and sell to the public the first (?) asic mining device. They are cashing in on that feat and taking what the market is obviously more than happy to pay.

Nothing wrong with that. If you don't like the price, don't buy.

Simple supply and demand. If you can do it cheaper then put up.

yeah  i was asking for help...   the only way i could ever own one   so what   noone wanted to help  so what does that say about the community...

I'm pretty sure that the times I've requested things from this community where the results weren't what I had hoped, the reason was either the plans sucked or people thought unfavorable of me--or both. But at no time have I ever even thought that the community was at fault. Nor never will!

i ask for help so i am a beggar....    i didnt ask for hand outs   a fucking loan  it what i wanted help with   not a giveaway

How did you offer to secure that loan?  An unsecured loan is, usually, a giveaway as the current housing loan debacle has shown.

and  how did this come to be all about me when i was trying to get a point across.  does no one  have  respect anymore  for others,

You made it about you by saying that only the rich can buy an Avalon and that you are not rich so you can't.  You are deciding who is rich and who isn't, which is very subjective.  We should all endeavor to stick to objective truth.

Also you are the one who has no respect for people who have invested capitol and time in developing a product and bringing it to market and then demanding that they drop their prices instead of trying to make a profit while they can.  Would you rather that they kept all of batch 3 and mined themselves?  That was one of their options and I for one am very glad they did not exercise that option.

I like how people throw out the word GREED like it is a bad thing.

Like we are automatically supposed to start geering at the bad greedy person. Shame on them for trying to get ahead.

STAY BEHIND WITH US SO WE CAN ALL BE MISERABLE...TOGETHER!

Im not nuts  i just need help  i didnt say no to the offer.   the orders arent open yet as why i put the btcjam listing up in hopes it could be funded before  they open #3.    i have    5+ btc as i have been saving up since i missed out on batch #2.  didn't think they would come up this soon.  it would take me ~200 days  to pay him off   with the btcjam  loan  i can get the hardware and payback sooner so...  thats why i said  not really

You're posting here that you were going to be using the hardware to pay back a loan.  So you DID want the Avalon to mine with.

Seems like we know you better than you know yourself.   Undecided

u have no idea why i wanted one  it sure as hell aint for a greedy reason

LOL  Cheesy

I guess you must want it to put it in the corner of the room and place a pot plant on it. Doesn't it look pretty. All shiny.

Much better than plugging it in and making lots of juicy Bitcoins.

taking advantage of a situation = greed

Come on.  You wanted to purchase an Avalon and take advantage of its high hashing rate.  You are just as greedy.

i highly doubt that   u dont know me  so why keep sayin shat    u have no idea why i wanted one  it sure as hell aint for a greedy reason      if i were greedy i dont think i would be here  trying to help some understand 

Are you saying you were going to buy an Avalon and NOT use it to hash?  Stop being stupid.  You wanted to buy an Avalon because they can produce more coins faster.  That is greed.

It sucks that the price in terms of USDs went up, but if you want someone to blame then blame their competition. If Avalon had any at all they wouldn't have the pricing power they do. Kudos to them for accomplishing what none save ASICMiner have come close to achieving. Much better to have those funds in the hands of the obviously competent Avalon team rather than certain other companies that fail to produce time and time again.

This is exactly how people die. By not taking advantage of situations.

well  not ~3* as much as previous   i can understand upping the price some (for many reasons) but a jump that high = greedy

Why? You would make less profit. Isn't that the whole point.
