so maybe ebay just fills up with BFL and ASICminer Erupters?

This is what I sort of imagine happening. If KnC products do prove to be the fastest / most efficient, I imagine there will be a number of us looking to offload 'weaker' equipment..at least for people who have a vested interest in mining and a lot of equipment already ordered.

I'd also be curious to see how BFL, Avalon, and ASICMiner adjust their strategies to compete with KnC.

With some quick calcs the BFL chips are in the same area when it comes to cost / hashing power.

are you talking about DIY?
the mythical old mini rig was the same price per hash, but seems they changed that and everything else in having to raise prices

~4 GHs per chip. Cost per chip is ~0.6BTC = ~65$

You need ~88 BFL chips to get the same amount of hashing power as jupiter

88 BFL chips * 65$ = 5720$ + board + building = ~6500$

Very quick and dirty calcs

you can't really compare a DIY to a finished product... how about Avalons then too. But any of those might end up being crap. I have a few avalon DIY pending but dont have high expectations

100 pages questioning kncminer but everyone so sure DIY work flawless!!

KNC seems cocky enough to deliver on time. If they do, there might be some chaos on ebay

Chaos sounds like an understatement. Wouldn't be surprised if jupiters were going for 50k on ebay for the first few shipped.

Hmm..so maybe BFL would need to cut their margins a bit to compete more closely (or begin building a better chip)?

And as I think more about it, KnC already stated they're tailoring more towards the bigger spenders ..so BFL may do just fine by keeping with their Jalapenos and Minis to appease mining newbies and the "average joe".
