Just curious about one thing.

I have found this thread through ads on the site. I have setup a small group buy and wanted to buy a 100 BEs. I sent an e-mail to one of the address listed on the OP.

and basically I have been redirected to a reseller who is taking a 16% cut on the price to which I am not really interested.

IMO, a reseller sells small quantities to a higher price tag.

So my question is: What is the point to advertise a new price if it is not possible to have the product at that price and turn down potential customers?

I may recontact you at the next price drop to attempt to make a purchase or maybe I'll try an alternative product as I'm starting to see Bitfury USB keys around....

Anyway, if I have misunderstood something, I hope that you'll be able to make the communication clearer at your next ads campaign.


agree + 1

in canada, teek is the reseller, and as a prior customer i was offered a discount of 0.13 BTC per unit (plus tax = 0.15 each), with no prospect of bulk discount. If direct-order from friedcat was available i would gladly organise a 50-100 unit canadian group buy

these advertised prices are for previous customers only

because Im a nerd that genuinely enjoys playing with hardware, the more specialized the better, even more so if I can actually put it to monetary use no matter how insignificant.

And here I thought I was special. Damnit.

Damn... so many posts here and in other threads quoting math, showing clearly how these things are just as overpriced as ever. As in, you'll never make your money back from either these or the blades. That same has been true from the beginning of Asicminer sales.

And still people line up to buy buy buy.

Well, despite my previous negative post I have to say, its been a fun ride.

I loved mining with GPU's, I nearly ordered a FPGA from BFL before realizing it was very scammy and to be honest I would still like to play with an icarus FPGA right now despite the fact it would never pay itself off. Why ? because Im a nerd that genuinely enjoys playing with hardware, the more specialized the better, even more so if I can actually put it to monetary use no matter how insignificant.

Its For these reasons I'll be a sucker for gen2 keys and gen2 asic's.
Sign me up friedcat and even Canary, I'll happily pay a small to (hopefully not to) large sucker tax to player with the next lot of equipment.
I even wish I had multiple colours just so it would look nicer sitting on my desk, oh well Smiley

Anyone in US who wants to order and have these drop shipped to them, please let me know.  approximately 4 business days if you live near a major DHL hub.

Canary,

Please clarify how this would work.  Shipping direct from China to my local International Hub airport?   Pay you by standard method?

At this point I would wait until the next difficulty jump since it is around the corner. Prices usually drop within a few days and this one is going to take us over 100 mil easy.

At least they cut the price down to 0.12 btc.

Mining difficulty is now over 86,933,017 heading towards 300 Millions soon.
It's counting down to this price target of $5 to $7 per each USB block erupters.

USB block erupters are now useless. $5 - $7 each.
