If you sell more than you can make, your prices are too low.

If you sell too few - you over priced and missed the boat.

Too true, but I don't think that's the situation we're in right now. Something like 4,000 of the first 10,000 units had been sold as of a week ago?

Friedcat would have sold more than he could make if he came in with 3 ubs sticks for 1 BTC - over priced - too late now - missed the boat.

And then you drop the price, and...oh wait, that is what they're doi....

Yeah, but customers who already paid 2+ BTC will be pissed (like me) and think twice now - no return sales.

[EDIT] 2 weeks ago...

I will say that pricing block erupter at 1 BTC for 338 MHz is pretty much the final death blow for GPU mining. Unless one wants to mine alt scrypt coins, there is absolutely no reason to purchase a GPU for mining over block erupters.

Ummm...resale of a GPU will always be better than a novelty item with no use in a month, or two, plus there is gaming, cad work, cgi animation, rendering and all those other things graphics cards do.

These USB dongles aren't worth a 0.5BTC price tag...they are practically no cost to make.

I agree that GPUs have other valid uses, and folks will buy them for other purposes and mine on the side, but they are no longer a good mining only buy for anything other than scrypt. You can now get 1 GHs worth of USB miners for $300, and the USB miners also cost far less in electricity to operate. GPUs can't touch that.

Agreed, but in 3 months you'll still be able to sell a GPU, factor that into the profit you'll barely get from the ASICminer USB. This is soley about them selling their tech at inflated prices and introducing ASICs into the wild en mass, so they can add more proportionately to their oligopoly.

Once klondike USB miners hit the market, ASICMiner will have to reduce prices to remain competitive, but until that time they'll still sell a lot of these USB miners at 1 BTC.
