BFL and Avalon are just following supply and demand
supply of ASIC devices is near zero at the moment
demand for miners is high since BTC are now > $100 USD and there are only 2 games in town, Avalon and BFL (or buying shares in asicminer)
how much it actually costs to make has almost no impact on price. At some point in the future, the supply of Avalons and SCs will be higher and prices will come down.
Dude,
BFL is a joke so do not compare them with Avalon.
Please
Supply ? What is BFL supplying actually and raising the prices on top? I can supply fancy video also. Mine would be better than BFL's one.Please send me at least 2K x 1000000 times
Their current behavior is ridiculous for me. Probably this is their last card to play (to win some bump time or whatever next excuse is) before massive wave of refund will put them in history where they belong
I said supply is near zero... there are no devices... But people are still buying them, thus the demand. You may think it is a joke, but you're not the one giving them more money (and neither am I).
It doesn't matter what you think, people are still giving them money and they have do not enough devices to ship (because they have no devices to ship). Of course they're going to raise the prices.
Avalon and BFL are in the same boat: people keep wanting to buy them, but neither have enough to ship to fulfil all the demand - so raise the prices. Avalon has a few hundred to ship and BFL has zero, but it works out the same in the end - raise prices.
