I don't see why everyone is getting so worked up.. The units will be priced at what the market will pay as usual. if those numbers above are correct is it not the cheapest?.. if there is a cheaper option why not vote with wallet and choose that one?, perhaps you'll see reduction on reseller margin here to compete ..
"Price is what the market will bear" is fine in _normal_ market. This however is far from normal, and there are large risks in investing. See, I used the word invest, since this is very akin to investing, with risks. However currently all indicators point to hashrate rising exponentially for quite some time, so investing in mining hardware is _risky_. Therefore buying mining gear is a risky proposition and the prices should reflect that, and the sellers shouldn't try to offload all the risk on the investors (miners).
The problem recently has been that people have bought overpriced mining gear stupidly and without adequate analysis. That has led the sellers to believe they can price their gear near or even over the ROI limit. Well, that time is over now. You do a disservice when you try to brush this issue aside with sweeping remarks like that.
also about the genesis block calculation, really by now it must be known by even first time miners.. it is not enough to enter hashrate and copy paste 83% diff increase for 12months to try and show accurate forecast
Please, by all means, share your superior method of predicting how the hashrate will behave in the coming year.
Hint: it won't decrease nor stay the same. The only way is up, but by how much and how quickly is the question.
