235 us ?? This is insane! Way to expensive. 
Thanks and at those prices I may as well close this thread.
OK, here is another e-mail to eliminate all doubts.

Yes since you put in 240 usd as a price and the letter does not mention any price. But to be fair you did get a letter which was better then me as I got no reply at all.
I told them I wanted to do a group buy with 30, 50, 100 as various points to start from.
I think it may be more vaporware . I will hope for the version 6 just in time for Christmas.
Am I looking like a joker?
p.s.

Did you get a letter from Avalon? Or is this post just a joke?

We’re going to release our new generation of miners, Avalon 6, towards the end of this year.
Now the Avalon 6 release later this year interests me! 2+ Th/s 750 watts at the wall and ultra silent?? I can only hope.
I wouldn't hold my breath. They haven't provided a price for such a device. How would $1250 grab you?
I didn't think so.......

$240 is insane.
$100 would be way too high.
$40 might be almost reasonable - at least they'd have a chance at ROI before the halving next summer makes them worthless.
Way too high for an old-gen product.

well it is the current gen chip.
it does .4 watts
no one sells better then .4 watts except sidehack usb stick.
Now the funny Russian friend above has no idea of price. (he was joking about that letter)
my guess is 60 usd a unit.
I must be out of the loop as a guy buy seller since I have not been contacted and iTop says he is selling.
NOW iTop wants 3375 for a shipped s-5+ and bitmaintech wants 2473 for the s-5+ shipped.
So iTop may want a shit ton of mark up if he sells them. but maybe I am wrong.
I am sorry that I was not contacted to try to run a group since early July, but I know avalon must have their reasons for using iTop.

Looks like ITOP is going to carry this. See:

No I have not been contacted in weeks. No replies to my followup emails. So this is pretty much dead in the water for now.

Right now we don't have any Avalon Minis in stock. If you need a large amount of Minis, we can
produce these for you in 3 weeks. As for the price, price is determined on the base of quantity.

The price for each unit itself (without shipping and any other expenses) will be about $240 USD. My answer to such an inconceivable price:

No way. Last price for Bitmain's S5 is 352 USD. If your Avalon4 Mini can only hash at 78 Gh, the price for it should be at least 14,8 times lower than 352 USD, i.e. 24 USD. All right - let it be 30 USD just because it's a new equipment and it's a bit more efficient than S5.

The pricing here is roughly on parity with 8-9 Compac USB miners and a hub. This would no doubt be easier to administer, but the $240 price doesn't help that. Compared to a "New Rbox" it's lower power draw, and a lower hashrtae, for roughly twice the price of the R-box.
I am sure I'll pass. Thanks for checking Phillip.

$240 isn't just a bad price it is a rip off. There is no explanation for that price when the big brother 4.1 was only roughly twice as much yet well over 10 times more powerful. What. The. Actual. F.

That's hardly a suprise, every avalon retail product (since the first) has been months behind the competition in terms of effeciency, and priced way above what anyone else is charging.
Apart from an odd machine for those that like to have a new toy, I expect the only real sales they have are from volume buyers in china who must get a better deal.
I understand it, but as a private buyer I can't imagine why should I ever buy a 78 Gh machine for 240 (+50 or 60 USD for shipping). It's a madness. I can buy S3 for that sum, and it will be 5-6 times faster.
They wouldn't be able to price it at $24 any more than GekkoScience Compac could be put on the market for $5 without incurring major losses. Economics of pricing don't work that way, even if our wallets would love for that to be the case
In the mean time, they're working on the website - they just added some official photos; http://ehash.com/product/avalon4-mini/

The price. We need to know it.
I have been told a review unit around late July will be supplied to me.
