What does day 1 mean? Is it in September or October?
KnCMiner has not specified a date, but they have said in many opportunities that the early orders (those marked as day 1 or 2) shall be ready during September.
This is from the news section in their website,

We get a lot of questions about where we are in the process of our production. We would like to assure you all that we are on track for the first shipment in September

I do not know the 1# do not need pay a VAt or even UPS (min 300usd to chille) 
I don't pay VAT because I'm not in the EU
I don't pay shipping because I expect to host the machine in their datacenter, so I chose "Stockholm Pickup" method as they specified for people expecting to host with them.
Best,
Sounds like a good opportunity for someone late to the party to get in on some early KNCminer hashing. Good luck with your auction.
Thank you!

I'm auctioning 1 KnCMiner's Jupiter Upgrade + 6 months of hosting for an order scheduled for day 1
I have purchased one KnCMiner Saturn that is scheduled for day 1. It is oder number #1824. You can confirm that this order has been scheduled for day 1 with this code 324-9TTJ-001824 in the front page of KnCMiner where it says Tracking.
I'd really like to be able to purchase the Jupiter upgrade myself, but right now I'm out of funds to invest. So at least I'm planning on getting the cheapest hosting rates for the Jupiter and perhaps obtaining some gain from the fact that I have a day 1 oder. Thus, I'm auctioning the option to purchase the upgrade to a Jupiter + half of the 6 months Jupiter hosting plan scheduled for day 1.
The winner of the auction will own 50% of the Jupiter unit, and will receive 50% of the BTC the Jupiter mines during the hosting period (discounting any pool fees, if applicable) which I will send to him or her whenever the pool distributes the profits; we can work out any reasonable schedule for distribution of profit.
This 50% of the Jupiter unit amounts to 200 GH/s nominal hashing power.
The reason I'm choosing 6 months hosting plan is that I expect the unit will make the most profit in that period, and given the uncertainty regarding future massive rise of difficulty, we can evaluate at the end of the 6 months period whether it is profitable to keep hosting the machine or sell it, or buy each other's share, or any suitable arrangement.
I will set the minimum bid at 50 BTC to start with a round number. 50 BTC for 200 GH/s (4 GH/s per BTC) is a great ratio, specially considering it covers hosting + electricity
This covers:
*50% of the Saturn order + Jupiter Upgrade (3795 + 3500) / 2 = $3,648 USD
*50% of the Jupiter hosting plan for 6 months (2200 / 2) = $1,100 USD
TOTAL COST $4,748 USD
The difference to the 50 BTC will cover exchange rate risk, transaction fees, and a minimum gain for myself.
I'm expecting some funds that will allow me to purchase the upgrade and hosting before the end of the auction. I will be inclined to do so as soon as I receive one valid bid that ensures the auction will succeed. In the event that I have not been able to buy the upgrade and hosting by the end of the auction, I will do it as soon as I receive the BTC from the winner.
In the event that for any reason KnCMiner stops selling upgrades or hosting during the time of the auction, or any event of force majeur makes impossible the fulfilment of this auction, the auction will be void. If the payment of the winner has been made I will return all the BTC received. Nonetheless, once I have purchased the upgrade and hosting and the auction has finished successfully and it's been paid for, no refunds are allowed.
You should understand that by participating in this auction you assume the risks involved with dealing with KnCMiner and investing in a Bitcoin mining venture. If for any reason KnCMiner does not deliver what it promised or delays production, if the difficulty rises more than expected, or if you don't recoup your investment, I will not be held responsible of any loss. You'll be partnering with me in sharing the risks and the profit of this venture.
Terms
* Minimum bid is 50 BTC
