These are expected to earn BTC. At today's difficulty, that's ~4.5BTC/day. If the price was $10, that's on $45/day. With the price currently at $89, that's $400/day. Can you see how the increase in the price of BTC affects the increase of the price of these hardware pre-orders?

If you don't understand this, I will gladly buy your early-date pre-order for what you paid for it: $1300.

The price of BTC will fluctuate so if you buy a rig that mines 4.5BTC/day and the price of BTC falls to $30... Can you see how the price of BTC makes paying $10,000 USD today for a machine you MIGHT get 3-6 months from now a real losing idea.

If you don't understand this, I will gladly sell you MY early-date pre-order for what I DIDN'T pay for it: $500. ... and I will give you the same assurances all the eBayers give you like a nifty .jpg of some invoice for $1,300.

I'm glad this thread is still going. I'm sure you'll notice that today BFL announced a price doubling of all their units. Discuss.

These ASICs generate BTC, not USD. I've been saying for a while now, I wouldn't sell my preorders for less than 200BTC, as thats what I can expect to make within a reasonable amount of time. That is independent of the fact that BTC is now ~$75. If BTC was $20, it would still be worth 200BTC.

this is bizarre reasoning to me, but maybe it makes sense to people that grew up with some million dollar trust fund

LOL I don't have a million dollar trust fund, or anywhere close to it! I'm 24, trying to pay off student loans, and looking at buying my first house. I eat PB&Js for lunch cuz they're cheap. However, there is some financial reasoning here, even if you don't see it:

11914 ($14k) and 12218 ($12.1k) were my auctions, and the winning bidder never got back to me. I don't know why someone's trying to prevent these from selling, but it's somewhat annoying.

That might be a very cheap price if the price of BTC keeps going up at this rate.

Based on what they're going for I'm tempted to put mine up with a really high reserve and see what happens.

Either they are fake bidders driving the price up, or are far too hopeful...

I sometimes get the feeling some newcomers to Bitcoin don't understand that the difficulty will exponentially increase.
