"High price" is a relative term. USDs are total crap so as they(and other fiats) continually devalue due to endless printing, BTC prices that seemed high previously will become bargains. The same is true for PM prices.

Listen to this guy! ^^ He paid the approximate equivalent of $8k for 2 single SCs($2600), so he knows a scam when he sees one.  |

Just because a few outliers may respond that way doesn't mean it reflects the majority opinion. Avalon had the best reputation of all the vendors. Recently that's been taking a tremendous beating and not without justification. Their behavior has changed dramatically since their shipping date came and went.
Lets hope the level of proof comes and some fears are put to rest. (among the sane of mind at least) Unfortunately, by opening their batch 2 order window tomorrow and making comments such as this: A demonstration will come by a customer very soon, if you wish to wait until then, go ahead; but you then run into the risk of not making into batch #2 They're forcing people to make choices they shouldn't have to make and that ramps up the animosity. What do you suppose the chances are of an independent review of Avalon appearing today? When that doesn't happen folks will have to go on what they know about Avalon currently to make their decision about batch 2 purchases. |

I've had 2 from them (Icarus, DevKit), 1 from Hong Kong (a BFL) and 1 from USA (an MMQ) - all EMS, all 4 tracked fine. What has BFL (KC, Missouri, USA) sent you from Hong Kong? Or is it a test of reader's accuracy? Why would you assume he was sent a BFL product from the manufacturer? Couldn't he have purchased it second hand? |

A simple third party review by a respected member of the BTC community that's unaffiliated with Avalon and I'm purchasing multiple units. This is what we were told would happen prior to batch 2 pre-orders.

I agree. I think they had problems and hope to fix it. If this is the case, I wish they'd just come clean.
|

To say nothing of the fact that Avalon has not done what they said they'd do. No demo, no tracking numbers, no 3rd party review. Yep, hurry up and open that batch 2 window...it's a free market.  |

It should be clear to everyone by now that producing an ASIC miner is significantly more difficult than producing FPGAs. Therefore evidence of successful FPGA products is not firm evidence that vendor xyz is capable of producing an ASIC mining device.

The problem is that there are many many here that will accept anything stated by a vendor's rep as *FACT* and anyone that disputes anything stated by a vendor's rep is a *TROLL*.

The $400 for shipping apparently didn't include a tracking number either, or Avalon's rep didn't see fit to forward it to Jeff. This is a total cluster.

Avalon themselves promised a demo. Never happened.
Avalon themselves have repeatedly said...just wait till there are 3rd party reviews. Now they're going to open the 2nd batch order window without even sending anyone a tracking number for a batch 1 unit.
If they'd have done what they said they'd do, I'd be fine with them. The current situation however is unacceptable. They're behaving just like the other vendors now.

I may be jaded, but I'm pretty sure sockpuppets exist. I saw one riding a unicorn just a bit ago. |

What the hell kind of fab are they dealing with that can't seem to give BFL firm dates for anything ever? Fabs are run like precision clockwork, not kindergarten field trips.

He's been here since Christmas Eve man! ...obviously knows everything there is to know about all the principles.  |

I'm going to push the envelop here.
In my mind, all the evidence to date points to Avalon not delivery as promised. Therefore, I openly invite Team Avalon to sue me. Simply have your lawyer contact me (PM/email). I will then provide them my real name, address, etc., so that they can properly serve me papers.
To make the libel suit official--Avalon is a scam!
If I don't hear from their lawyer within 24 hours, then what I stated above is indeed fact.
By 3:00 CST tomorrow, I will report back here to state that either I have been contacted by their lawyers, or no-joy. If I'm not contacted, then the age-old adage "buyer beware" is in force, and anybody purchasing Batch #2 are ____________ (refrained from completely the sentence, though the last word can easily be surmised).

Does that mean it is time to witness the hash power of this fully supplied and operational ASIC station? Not till they get to Alderaan. |

Amazing how shipping deadlines of their own making seem to bring out the true colors of these vaporware vendors. Hey thanks at least for dropping the phony professionalism BitSyncom.
I'm just a human being. THEN USE YOUR OPPOSABLE THUMBS TO SEND AT LEAST JEFF A TRACKING NUMBER. If you do this, Jeff will almost surely confirm and 90% of this will go away. |
