25% increase is called greed.

Im sorry you are expecting to pay the same price as the people waiting 2 months for these. I could easily set the MSRP at 149, and they would still sell out but Im not, because this project was founded on getting a cheap miner in the hands of as many people as possible, which is what we are doing.

whatever you like man. U sell to ur sheeple.
I am out of here.

I meant the fruit lander or whatever, not the forum!
kiss the guy hard, u might get something.

Is it possible to get what the market price will be from the distributors?   Amazon a few weeks ago had them listed for 160 a piece, I think now one person is trying to get $200 a piece.  Ebay your looking at around $200 also "Buy Now".  If I'm correct preorder was around $67. I read in this thread the price will be somewhere in between.  I have been saving my change, would be nice to know what we can expect on the market.  I would assume a fair price to be around $85 - 90.  If I'm off just say higher or lower.. Because I have no idea really.
Thanks,
Scott




Any Batch 3 coming out soon?

Only jstefanop knows :-)..

No plans currently, Batch 2 will start shipping out to Distributors next week, and we have LOTS of inventory. Once Batch 2 pre-orders are shipped out you will start seeing in stock units listed towards the end of the month from all my distributors.

At this point going forward I will have enough channel inventory and steady production to keep these stocked everywhere. I might do one more pre-order batch 3 only because there will be a month gap in february due to the chinese holiday and the parts I source from china wont be available until March.



Batch 2 pre-order price was $64, Batch 2 MSRP price that I am setting with my Distributors is $79. Thats a suggested price, I can't really force them to sell lower if the market demand is there to sell them higher. I am trying to make as many as possible to saturate demand, but the reality is people want these and will pay extra for them.

Don't know if I am in the right section but...

My fan is getting loud. How can I go about getting a new fan or at least quieting this one down. The unit is about two months old.

I never had unit in hand, still waiting for my pre-orders, but what I know from previous experience (with FPGA units for example), fans like these are failing often. They are cheap and manufactured quickly without caring about quality. Find yourself same size replacement, or use cheap USB fan, which would just blow on unit next to it. Just browse your favourite marketplace and have a look for replacement fans, I think they are 40mm in size?

The price should stay the same at $64 or it may potentially drop with the difficulty increase since launch. The prices you are talking about are not from distributors they are from people on selling them for 200%+ profit

If batch 2 goes anything like batch 1 expect you will need to wait till the shops run out of stock before batch 3 shows up.

No incentive for the shop owners if a pre-sale starts before they sell out.

Ended up having my cousin place the order for me, as I was still having problems with the payment site timing out. But, she was able to get the order in, so I've got a couple extra units coming!

Now I need to look into USB hubs. I've got an old netbook gathering dust and I believe it should be able to run these, but I don't think the onboard ports could provide enough power.

When is Batch 3? Smiley

Seriously. . I'm kinda tired of getting rheemed in the keister by eBay scalpers. . THe cheapest one I found today was $16o . . pfft. .

Sorry guys, once batch 2 stock hits at the end of the month there will be plenty of stock for lower pricing than what these are going off ebay. Unfortunately demand is still high so in stock units have to be priced accordingly (somewhere between pre-order pricing and ebay pricing).

We needed at least two batches to gauge demand, so going forward I should be able to have a steady output to meet demand each month. We might do one more pre-sale batch 3, but after that it will be steady production.

(FYI Asicpuppy put leftover $64 batch 2 pre-order stock from cancellations etc so here is your chance to pick one up super cheap if you havent https://asicpuppy.com/magentoPuppy/index.php/fbmoonlander2preorder.html )

Woot, got the final order in I needed to obtain the amount I want Cheesy
