What!? This entire country is a reseller of foreign made goods but no ones ordering Nike shoes or under armorer from china... we're ordering from the local mall or store that buys the product wholesale oversees and sells them here in the US.

So why is a8im.com being bashed on for a quality product and a Very competitive USD price???

My name is Rico D. and I have bought a terahash worth of machines ( 5 200Gh/s miners) and there not a scam one bit. ( THE FACT THAT HE OPERATES FROM HIS HOUSE DOESNT LOSE HIM CRED POINTS... IT ADDS ON  CRED BECAUSE HE'S SMART BUSINESS MAN THAT UNDERSTANDS LOWERING EXPENSES DOES MAXIMIZE PROFITS). Technically All us miners are running our equipment at our houses and are doing bitcoin mining business at there residence too (so cant knock the residence address thing).

ANd if you want to go the route of getting things across the world for a cheaper price than STOP purchasing ALL things in the USA all together because nearly EVERYTHING is more expensive here. As for me, I live in the US, do business in the US, and I try and support small business in the US that deliver.

$$$What your paying for is the warrenty, service, and a really awesome miner.$$$

 I believe the whole PREORDER process is a ruse/game/hustle that some manufacture use to one up people that dont know better. here let me show you:

-the bitcoin per gash per day difficulty rate today (2/3/14) is .000228.  200GH/s x .000228= .0456 = $50USD a day (about the first day u plug it in depending on pool also)
-then theres Preorder 2 TH machines "being built" aka doesnt yet exist aka trying to figure it out

----for giggles let's say you waited four months ( since some did that and longer with other manufactures)
Day 1: drive to a8im.com and pick up your machine and drive away with it or get it in the mail shipping out of FLA not CHINA
day 50: you get your initial investment back and use it to double up & buy miner#2 ($2500)
day 75: it takes half the time to get the cost back, and you double up again and buy miner #3 ($2500)
day 87.5...miner#4
day 93... 1 Th/s
96 1.2 TH
97.5 1.4TH
99.25 1.6
100 1.8 TH at this day your making nearly half a bitcoin a day and recuping all your investment

or
--Preorder a machine--

day 1: wait... watching your bank account minus the thousands of dollars
day 50: wait... checking your email freq for preorder updates...
day 100: wait... and having dreams of a miner and finally getting a confirm of batch shipment
day 120: ... your package arrives you plug it in and start to make back you investment at day 120
****THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS:... a 200Gh/s today is worth MORE to you than a 2 TH machine 4-6 months waiting from now

*this is spectulative example based on the price of a bitcoin staying constant and made by using bitcoin difficutly rate if it stayed the same for four month but its just used to demonstrate a general idea)
