Did some FPGA to ASIC upgrades myself, paid 1299- 600 + 88 for shipping = 789$
So trade in is 600$ to be exact, can not find a source atm.
BTW just noticed the 60Gh/s miner turned into a 50Gh/s miner for double the money
don`t know how they tread new Upgrade orders now.
They'll let you trade in 1 FPGA toward the 25 GH/s miner for a $600 credit, or 1 or 2 FPGAs toward the 50 GH/s miner for a $600/fpga credit.
This is from an email from BFL to me:
2 [FPGAs] toward the 50 gh/s and 1 toward the 25 gh/s model.
1 [FPGA trade in] for every $1200.00 spent.
So basically you can trade in 1 FPGA per $1200 you spent on 25 and 50 GH/s BFL hardware. I don't know if they'll let you trade in FPGAs for the 5 GH/s miners.
50 GH/s miner cost: $2500 - $600*(1 or 2 FPGAs) = ($1900 or $1300) + (1 or 2 FPGAs), per unit
25 GH/s miner cost: $1250 - $600 = $650 + 1 FPGA, per unit
Note this is only for new orders... you will still get the hashrate you paid for on order(s) placed before they changed the price/specs. :p
(Btw, I'm in no way making an official announcement. I'm simply stating information that was presented to me. I don't work for BFL or have any relation to them other than being another number on the preorder list, haha)
@Henchman24: thanks!
As for the original topic;
I actually still have one more available. I forgot about the broken BFL sitting in my car, packaged up and waiting to be sent back to BFL. :p I'll use that for a trade-in and sell one more of my working units.
