i think he means he'll give you the order and you have to pay for the avalon as if you had done the pre-order yourself at least that's how i read it

Yes, it's an unpaid pre-order. And ordered from the first wave.

I have 1 unit Avalon ASIC pre-order want to transfer at present. This's not for sell and I'll not accept any payment. Receiver must confirm the order number and change shipping address with Avalon ASIC (contact info.). PM me if you need. Thanks!

This sounds like you are giving it away?

Does not sound as an interesting option for me.
I have to trust two unknowns Avalon and you...

I would prefer if you could offer mining (you set it up, maintence, electricity) or shipping solution to the group...
Anyway...good luck.

Actually, you don't need to trust me. Since I'll not intervene the payment and shipping address confirm procedure between you and manufacturer of Avalon ASIC.

A mining company could be set-up. But that would be not directly related to this event. They will be separate event.

Thank you!

update:

According to the news from ngzhang, the second wave of pre-orders will be launch at 9:00am EDT, 10/03/2012. Therefor, this time -1 hour would be our deadline which is 8:00am EDT, 10/03/2012.

Still need 8 units to reached the pass point at present.

If he can get a group of 30, then that guarantees priority shipping and not having to fight everyone else for the last of the pre-orders?

Basically correct!

Idk I still might just wait and do it solo. This seems all weird to me.

No problems! As you wish.

Why don't you guys simply wait for the last 100 avalons to be release for preorder?

I would assume that it's to get to the 30 unit mark that gets priority in the preorder line.

Basically correct!

Lets say 30 orders cost $40,800USD, which is 3317BTC. We create an escrow for that amount, and for each person that ordered an Avalon, they each deposit 110BTC. When we have our full amount, the escrow pays ngzhang. No offense, but I wouldn't feel comfortable sending you (or anyone else) >3000BTC without any proof you won't take the coins and run.

No offense been made. Your concerns can be understood. In addition, this is not an escrow related solution. You'll not need to send me 110BTC.

It's not really a Group Buy if the seller is asked to ship each order individually to each group member's address.  The point of giving priority or discounts to large orders is to sell more units with a lowered customer-service overhead.

Basically correct!

Wouldn't a pooled escrow make more sense?
What do you mean pooled escrow precisely?

So let me see if I get this:
I send you 0.1BTC. 11 other people do the same, and the pool gets 1.2BTC. Then the pool orders 12 units. All 12 people place their BTC for purchasing the units in escrow, and then the escrow pays for the units (to ngzhang). Where do the 12 Avalons get shipped to? Who mines with them? Do I get my 1 unit mailed to me? If so, what's the point? If not, why would I want to do this?

Again, sorry if I'm really slow today, but I'm just not getting it. :/

All Avalons will ship to their buyers separately. You'll mine with your own Avalon.

I have posted a GLBSE mining project draft (Project-Pi) before. But this group buying is a separate independent project/event.

Not need for sorry! Your question will help it more clarifying.
