What advantages do you have over the existing distributors of ASICMiner hardware and what references? You say directly from Friedcat but he doesn't list you as an authorized retailer?
I have units in hand and my handling fees are reasonable. Canary and Silent are great sellers, I've purchased units in the past from both of them. However, it is apparent that 2 distributors may not be enough to handle all USA orders. I've asked friedcat to be considered for USA distribution, and this is my first shipment.
I'm in Dallas Texas, a major shipping hub, so units will be coming in and going out as quickly as possible.
To add more sellers would mean that there's more useless throat cutting for 4-5 days following a price drop. There are resellers who always misprice ASICMiner gear which leads to a reduction of interested sellers on eBay for example. (Theres no margin for them). So more resellers (who are really distributors, not resellers) would wipe out those who sell on other outlets. Which will decline overall sales.
ASICMiner doesn't need more distributors, it needs more resellers who buy from distributors, IFF distributors would price items correctly.
