They will most likely be selling for a lot cheaper in the up and coming months because of the difficulty rising etc.

Plenty on ebay.
Just seen ones selling for an eye-watering £275 GBP on eBay.  :o
Even if it was £50, I'd have my doubts it would mine out that amount to pay for itself.

... Looks like they're now going for about $300+ for 300MHash/sec or about $1/MHash/sec (on Ebay) ...

... if you get a BFL device for $300 you get 5000 MHash/sec,  they're going for $3000-$4000 for people with the actual device, and $500+ for people with pre-orders (also on EBay) ...

... or you could go for a 28nm FPGA technology (http://www.raspberrycoins.com) which delivers 2000MHash/sec for $1K, and after you're done with mining, you can repurpose the FPGA for other uses ....

STOP trying to SHILL that crap in here, this is NOT for advertising ripoffs..... the ROI is a PACK of lies, which I debunked HERE:

If your looking to get them quickly, go here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241414.0


You can also just wait a few weeks and see what happens to the price of them. My guess is they will drop in price again within the coming weeks.

If in Canada, you'll pay taxes on them while buying from WTCR .. Why should one pay taxes, markup & shipping when they buy them without any of those?

They're all over ebay, and almost any online tech store that accepts bitcoin. No point of buying them though, difficulty is going to get extreme soon.

Yeah, will get ROI eventually tho. May take 5-10 years.  But then again BTC price could explode after USD crashes.  Who knows?

It has been said several times already but in case op did not understand do not buy those, it's a total waste of money !

If they are a total waste of money then why do the group buy organisers have such an easy time selling them.

Demand is high for any ASIC.

Demand is really high for any ASIC that you can order right now and get to your doorstep in just the time it takes for post/courier service to ship it.

I believe many people don't really understand Bitcoin properly. Particularly how the difficulty is calculated, adjusted and why it changes. Which is a shame, because it's clearly documented.
