Market has not been good.

Adjusting prices.

come on Michael - make a real statement!!! - make em $299 and I'll order several!

That is up to the manufacturers. We work on small margins and pricing is usually determined by the manufacturer. :).

thanks - it never hurts to ask!

If it goes lowered to 299, I'm down

Yes but you could compensate your customers during the following situation to keep them from feeling 'ripped off':

1. Customer orders $2175 miner + shipping on 6/29
2. Next day - 6/30 no shipping status "Awaiting Fulfillment"
3. Following day - 7/1 price drop of $175.00 announced and posted on site
4. 7/1 several hours after price drop announced, tracking information received.

Doesn't really make me want to come back ZOOMhash for more, despite being a "ZOOM Founder"

Nor have I seen any way to use "Reward Points"

And now most likely due the 4th of July holiday, I won't see this purchase until the week of 7 July

Totally satisfied Michael -- NOT!!

If I'd have received tracking information prior to the price drop, my perspective would be different.

Referencing Order #6439

This situation was rectified by the seller... See post later in the thread.

This is what they should have originally been priced. Fucking ASIC manufactures...all evil fucking scammers.

+1 on so many levels :)

meh... plus the ZH rewards is kind of crappy.. how bout some more reward love from previous customers?

well I feel you I ordered number  6450 .

  I paid pretty low but not 399.

I purchased 10 of these blades.  And about 30 five  chip units  (I have spent over 10k at zoomhash )

 Now the ltc price crashes and  I am not looking to buy any more I have 8 on hand and 2 on the way and ltc is at 7 bucks and change. 

So I have to do what  beg here for a break on the last purchase?

It would be nice to get  something extra.

WOW!

I am impressed!

Zoomhash made this right, and refunded the difference in my order... Honestly, I couldn't ask for more.

I've ordered from them previously and never had any complaints on follow through. So I expect the remainder to go smoothly.

Aside from the delay in shipping I can expect from the 4th of July, I'm going to chalk this one up as an excellent deal. I already have tracking data from the order, but it looks like I probably won't receive my unit until the following week because of the holiday.

Thank you Zoomhash! You could have easily gone the route other resellers have and said, "Tough Luck" but you didn't, and I will certainly keep that fact in mind the next time I'm looking to make a purchase.

Sincerely,

Remember everyone is in the same boat. I too am a loyal Zoomhash customer and have spent a decent amount with them, but unfortunately this is a market driven by manufactures.
G-blades were $599 on the 15th now they are $399. I bought a 4 pack and the price dropped before it shipped and they refunded me the difference. Yes this big price drop stings a bit but I don’t blame Zoomhash for my loss. I should have looked closer at the falling scrypt return and new miners being shipped which is an indicator to the market prices.

Every manufacturer does this, even the community custom guys like pepperming, you pay on Friday and the price drops on Monday buy $250.

I will continue to buy from Zoomhash.

I can't disagree with you in the least, and as a buyer of ASIC's, I know the market is turbulent.

My threshold of pain (or where I cry "foul") is crossed when an order is placed and the item price is reduced before it ships.

...Call me crazy, but that's how I see it.

It's also why I will never again participate in a pre-order scenario.

I did once and got very lucky with a KNC November Jupiter, but I managed to avoid BFL, Hashfast, Cointerra, Bitmine, and BlackArrow. 

I empathize with every single customer of those companies who most likely are like me and scraping together every last bit of their "fluff" income to try to make a penny or two in this world where markets are untrustworthy, banks pay next to nothing in interest, and everywhere you turn someone is trying to con another $2-20 out of you. Those guys got burned and badly.

I'm sitting on 12Th/s and consider myself a small player in this game, but it's the small guys who need to keep the vendors and manufacturers honest if there is going to be a future in widespread decentralized cryptographic currency networks. Any other way, and we'll all get forced out by the fortune 500 players - permanently.

The only way we can do this as the little guy, is to speak with our voices, our dollars, and our BTC.

At 299 ROI still is "iffy" leaning to doubtful

Greedy? Definitely.
Evil? Kind of.
Scammers? Probably not.

As a forum member said. This is like spot pricing for gold. Prices go up or down. There is a huge adjustment right now from the dropping LTC prices and increase in difficulty.

Markets are cruel. It sucks for us sometimes too especially when we have to carry inventory...

 well it was he nice he did it for your  order number 6439.  my order number 6450  was not done.

 it would need to be adjusted from 890 to 829 for 2 plus shipping  about 60 bucks. oh and ltc dropped just a bit more last nite. from $7.90 to $7.50 today.

I'll buy 20 at $299!

 then list 15 on ebay for 399 making your 5 other ones free.

Or have a buy 4 get one free!!!

I purchased  10 from them.  I am just looking for a little give back on this order .




    Edit:

I was lowered to the 400 dollar price just now thank you mike!

Keep away from this company. Purchased two blades on May 24th. Received the full package on June 3rd. They were extremely noisy but still working anyway. Yesterday, the fan of one of them died, and they are telling me that it's out of warranty. Basically, they assemble the poorest and cheapest fans possible so that it fails just after the warranty. Keep away from them.

Buy a fan for $10 and replace it.

 ::)

You knew what the warranty was before you bought it.

exactly, they are a re-seller and do not assemble the products.

Unfortunately we do not assemble the products for these blades. What is you order number?

From what I have been told through a friend of a friend that was an original reseller, blades are rock bottom $300.  The initial $3000 price was the 10x base price that Gridseed set.  That's why most of the price drops have been in $300 jumps.  That's why they were at $600 for a longer period recently.  The pricing pattern was similar with the minis, and can be tracked as such.

I could be totally wrong, but if you're looking for the bottom, $300 is probably where it's at.  Of course by then, $300 will probably be a 200 day ROI  :(

So is there like a promo you can do buy 1, get half off? or like 1 free lol.

Tell the manufacturers to offer something like this.

Roi is the new keyword

ROI has always been the keyword, mate.  IMO, if you're not making it in 60 days or less, it's better off just buying coin.  I've purchased plenty of equipment in the past and stuck to this rule.  Times I went over, I never ROI'd, and times I was under, I made out like a bandit on the resale and coin profit.

If they finally launch Project Prime you will have your ROI guaranteed and insured, so you won't risk anything. But there's no ETA right now, maybe they'll launch next month.

Oh really?  Have you seen specific stats on Project Prime?  Maybe I'm just missing them.  Up until now it's just been a bunch of rumors that "it's the biggest thing to happen to mining".  BFL said that too.  Until Prime is fully exposed to the public, it's still just blind hype.  Smoke and mirrors.

Nothing is guaranteed in crypto except uncertainty.  Anything can change overnight.

ME TOO!!

Hey Guys! Cut Mike some slack! :P He is right, Factories control pricing. I was on the phone with a Gridseed rep a few weeks ago who wanted to sell them to me for $750 a piece! That alone shows you how greedy some factories are! Factories are the ones getting rich not resellers!

That is exactly right.

Like I said, the original price of the blades was $3000.  Not because it's what they cost, but because it was 10 times the base price... a nice profit for the producers.
