Who CARES what is fucking normal?
Because normal group buys had a real purpose which to cut down on costs. This is not the sales section is it?
Of course because there are some cost savings. Shipping a pallet or two is much cheaper than 100 individual boxes. You shouldn't get an outrageous discount like 50% off for bulk buys since this is a preorder and it's not like they are trying to get rid of stock.
Good thing. So what so everyone is trying to DUMP stock. Who gives a flying fuck how they discount their product really? Look at what CarnaryInTheMine and ASICminer were doing with the USBs miners last year? I didn't see you all over those threads? Not fucking once were you complaining then or since about that fucking collusion. Shit even a little competition from my first group the Big Picture and the K1's thread lowered their costs immediately. Please if you want to look at conspiracy why not go back over the millions that were gouged out then?Did asicminer sell any promises and then lower the price on those promises before delivering?
What's the point? It's just an unnecessary/inconvenient extra step in the ordering process.
Have you ever thought that it might be an easier step for the SPTech to secure a larger number of orders together organized for free by a community member. So that they extend their sales team out and build more good will? It is necessary. Again no one gives a shit about Canary and his close ties? Right? Seriously please.Have you ever thought that that might be bullshit? There is obviously someone at spondoolies-tech who has to check every single order and payment. Exactly the same as if you would have ordered from the website.
What is the difference between checking their websites order book and checking this guys order book? It is not like this guy is sending them a single shipping address with a lump sum of money.
I happen to think it is a rip off to pay $600 extra because you already ordered from the website. Please let me know of anything in the open source AM thread that is even remotely unfair.
Agreed. Let us spread the GB word everywhere why are you trying discredit it? Again where were you when Asicminer was basically doing exact same thing last year?Again did asicminer sell promises and then lower the price on those promises before delivering? I understand that the usbs were overpriced but that is the case for every usb miner in history. They are a novelty or an introduction to mining which is fine.
I only advocate buying in stock hardware. Preordering is gambling and to suggest otherwise is dishonest.
Agreed but you have said that in every one of SPTech's threads but it is ok for Technobit to do this and you praise him? Fuck me that is the height of hypocrisy. We get it no pre-orders but even you admit I got a GOOD pre-order value for the last GB? Right? I mean who would rather order from at this point? SPTech or Technobit? Me easy choice.Does technobit sell preorders? I was not aware.
As for who I would rather order from I would actually say technobit solely because they have in stock hardware (afaik). I have seen working hardware from them but I have yet to see a working sp30. If spondoolies would sell in stock hardware then I would probably go with them but it all depends on the price.
I think SP knew that the $5100 price for September was way too high but they chose to milk their customers for what they could get.
Shouldn't they try and get that price? Should they not try and promote lower priced GB's?
Ofcourse you should try to get as low of a price as possible. I am just saying EVERYONE in september batch should pay that price (or be refunded the difference). It is not fair to pay $600 extra because you ordered from the website.
Seriously you pissing in the wind especially when you turn a fucking blind eye to people who are promising things that they will surely never deliver on and have done it before. I will be the first to eat my hat and rail against SpondooliesTech if they so much as screw a single customer. Have they? No.
Spondooliestech has also never sold/delivered hardware that they have not tested other than the SP30. KNC was great at preorders the first time around but look at what happened with neptunes.
If the SP30 really meets expectations then they should have absolutely no problem selling it from stock. But they would rather put the risk on the customers because they know they can get more for an sp30 today then in September.
