Got this email from Steven Mosher over at Canaan on Wednesday. I was glad I missed the initial batches of these cause the prices were down right ludicrous. What Steven mentions here (I think) is still a bit on the high side but at lease it’s not outright crazy.
Good Morning Ku’ulani,
Happy New Year,
Our office is closed for Chinese New Year, but I will be working so please feel free to email me. Staff will return around Feb 25 to start shipping your orders.
It's time again to do a forecast. We use the forecast to decide who gets product, so it's important to do one.
You must have a current forecast. If you don't have a current forecast you won't be able to order. When customers do not complete their order in time the sales agents will turn to the forecast and select the next customer for the product.
PLEASE ENTER YOUR FORECAST HERE
