From the eBay description: "I have purchased these bulk from China and are expecting them within 4 business days. They are in transit with DHL. I test them for 24 hours and will reship them to you."

So it's not YiFuck selling these anymore, but someone who bought these @2.3 BTC or so from the Tradehill trainwreck of an auction, and is reselling now for 7-8 BTC approx.

Oh, and LOL at the "testing for 24 hours"... best mining time, better to squeeze now Tongue

Here's your chips right here.

They're not selling, so Yifu had to put them up on e-bay.

Notice they overclocked the piss out of them to 375 Mhz, to get any kind of decent performance.

Power consumption sux.

so you are suggesting that yifu collected orders from some random chinese dudes before he announced selling chips on forum?

Probably.  Look at the addresses the refunds are coming from.  These guys control hundreds of thousands of bitcoins. Tens of millions of dollars. Why would they bother burning their brand in order to make a few thousand extra btc?
You answered your own question.  Who cares about brand burning if you control huge amounts of the underlining currency.

and he missed dates due to customs, not due to selling preordered community chips on chinese market for a higher price

Looks like they didnt know there is something like difficulty... bad investment for them. The bad thing with it is that the first seller has and keeps the money he got from it. On the other hand... maybe some of his buyers wont be so happy with this non selling chips.

Indeed, they were purchased in China (alibaba, taobao) now they are in Poland

And they are absolutely useless to anyone at the offered price.

OMG, who are desperate that much and buy Avalon chip for insane price ?
I can't believe, the Chinese companies buy Avalon chips from Bitsyncom directly or from disloyal employee, for the price for which they will not be able to sell. Something fishy.

And you can't blame a whole country like china for taking your chips.. the chips are more likely in the hands of those that offered Avalon more money to have them shipped to them first... Yufi is not the only avalon memember.. i think greed is winning in the hands of a small few.. probably less than chinese farmers...

This has been investigated before.  They can't produce a picture of a chip with a headline from today's newspaper, nor can they produce any samples, but they'll gladly take $27 per chip if you order 100K - bank wire only please.    Another Alibaba fishing expedition.  Don't you guys ever read other threads?

There is word here that a group buyer purchased Avalons from a "Third Party" for a "higher price"

https://bitmine.ch/?p=819

This could be where your chips went..
