I last checked its price when it nearly hit $3000 i think it's on December 2017. When did you last checked the price as I really doubt it got up that high . Prices like that are in amazon's since they're taking advantage of the demand and it's basically for people who failed to take a slot in the batches. It's much cheaper on the mainsite (https://www.bitmain.com)
Alright Good News. I checked their social media sites and it was announced that there will be a new batch of S9's to be released today.
