It seems it's more like:
If you own one mini-rig and you want to trade it in, you have to BUY 1 ASIC rig for $30K then trade your mini-rig in + $15K for the second ASIC rig
There's NO trading in with money without buying a similar product with cash as well
WTF ? THAT is completely RETARDED.
If you currently own a Mini-Rig and want to trade it in when ASICs are available, you pay $15,000 Cash + Trade in your existing Mini-Rig...and get a new ASIC Mini-Rig in return.
What ever gave you the idea you had to buy 2 new items, in order to get credit for an existing one ?
So, just in case you missed that...
1x Used Mini-Rig (worth $15,000) + $15,000 cash = NEW $30,000 ASIC Mini-Rig.it's from the quote in the thread YOU started:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.976288"I understand how you are confused. This whole thing has not been explained in detail. If it were a straight trade of old equipment for new our business would fold in a week. Here's how it works:
if you buy $599 worth of BFL product--say 4 Jalapenos, you are eligible to send in a Single to exchange for 4 more Jalapenos. You must buy something to be eligible to trade something of equal value. And you don't have to send in your old equipment when you pay for the new--you send it in when you are notified that your ASIC equipment is ready to ship. Does this make sense to you?

YOU MUST BUY SOMETHING TO TRADE SOMETHING OF EQUAL VALUE
They dont have any NEW ASIC worth $15K.... only $30K
So this can go either way.... but I bet you they will make you buy 1 ASIC rig for 30K en then you can give them 2 mini-rigs and get 1 ASIC in return
Or in the case of the $1600 ASIC... not 1 single + $1000 but buy one for $1600 then you can trade in your singles up to 1 other $1600 super Jalapeno or whatever it's name is
But I could be proven wrong
