The expected hashrate of the Obelisk is 100 GH/s, which means that with a block reward of 20M SC/DAY the monthly revenue will be of 60,000 SC. The revenue will be higher in the beginning and is expected to get to 60,000 SC/month when 10,000 Obelisks will be sold. This is expected to happen by June 2018.
According to this calculation it will only take around 5 months to start earning some profit out of this hardware when calculated with current SC and Bitcoin price. Monthly income of $700 around from $2500 initial investment sound too good to be true but I am not claiming they are scam.

Every unit sold comes with a $250 single-use coupon for future purchases from Obelisk. Each coupon can be used up to once, and can be applied to get up to a $250 discount on a single unit in a future batch. Only one coupon may be applied per unit.
edit: As of 10:00am EST, July 2nd, we have received payments for 600 Obelisk miners.
$250 discount in another unit rather than simple price discount in pre-order  Cheesy, which is quite good marketing strategy  Grin
They have sold already 600 units according to them which is simply amazing if true.

I find it kinda funny that even the supposedly leading ASIC manufacturer company as Obelisk which is a subsidiary team of Nebulous, Inc. doesn't' have a Phone number/address or even email address shared on their site.
Clients who would buy $2500 hardware should be treated with respect, the address of the manufacturer and their office shouln't be a secret of deeply hidden info.
It is exaclty the reasonf that we have more question whether site is trusted or not.

Sia Tech is working with Obelisk and according to them it is a trustworthy company with a 20-year track record in ASIC design.

There is also a discussion regarding this on Reddit about shipment and delivery, https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/6k3gnj/obelisk_presale_is_live/

Never heard of them, would have been better if you had posted their url. Search the provider in Google, find out as much as you can about the owners from the whois, compare the rates with others (if its too less then something fishy) and come to a decision as asic miners are not something cheap.
