Where did you read that you can get a refund from Avalon? Is the first time I listen that.
I'm just curious.
Cheers!

I'm sorry if I missed something, but can anyone explain what the process is if I'd like to purchase 50 block erupters? I live in the USA

No sign of my two after 11 days - I've emailed BitAddict to see if he can chase it up with the shipper as it didn't leave Spain 'til 6 days after it was put into the postal system. It's not showing on my country's postal tracking system either, so hopefully BitAddict can track it down and see what's going on.
I sent you email back. It is tracked like it left Spain the 20th, so I don't know why you didn't receive it right now. They didn't update any more. 29th I can open dispute with them, I will be waiting to report them. Keep me updated if you have any news. I hope you receive it soon! |

Hey brother. I think people like this have no place in society and deserve to pay for their theiving actions. What I do with big orders like this, is take a video of you packaging the items (with a time and date stamp on the device) and film you going to the postoffice or ups whatever. And watch the package being delivered and sent with the items in it. With a package that big, I would definalty do that. I am so sorry for this on you man. I wish there was some way to get revenge on this cowardly loser.  And what would you recommend me if I prepare package at night for shipping in the morning (they come at home to pick it)? taking 12h videos with the envelope just staying in the table? Before I was thinking that filming was too much, but it is never too much with such douchebags outside. Any way can I report him even if I win? It would be worth it? I would hate if that man leaves like nothing happened. Thanks! BTW: His nick in Bitmit is "mtab3000". Don't deal him! |

Hello, I'm having problems with one buyer in Bitmit.
He bought 10xUSB AsicMiner for a total of 23.50btc. I shipped last week and he received them via UPS at Monday 25/05/2013.
Official package weight is 0,5kg, every USB is about 40grams with his box.
Of course, I included all. I did all by myself, taking extra care (like always).
Now buyer tells me he received just empty boxes, with no ASIC device. Which makes no sense since it should be missing more than 300grams in the package.
I have good rep, always take care of my buyers, plus it should be really stupid on my part trying to scam in bitmit with escrow when I'm doing at the same time a lot of sells without escrow. So I think I should win with no problems.
But even with all this I feel I could improve for the next time, and protect more my back, because this kind of people is so disgusting.
So, sellers what do you do when you sell something via escrow to ensure 100% the buyer can't scam to you?
Thanks!

Thanks. I saw it.
I will be selling a little lower than yxt for 1 and 10 units. Still waiting confirmation.

For the record I never bought any because Friedcat's pricing policy was out of whack from the very first sale. He never offered volume discounts which makes no sense if you are trying to get a product into the market. Now he has pissed off the community who are ranting through the last several pages of this epic lesson in how not to price things.
To the guys that want to point to difficulty... the price of a car does not change related to the price of gasoline. (And cars are often used 'to make money'). So your point is invalid.
Pricing is a well understood concept taught in universities all around the world, right next to the class on brand building. Friedcat and company would do very well to take either class.
Now you're comparing different things. If the car makes gasoline for you it would be related to it. |

Why blaming so much to friedcat?
If difficulty doubles up, he needs to discount 50%. And so on. Because mining hardware price is based in mining difficulty.
Is the same when you buy a new TV. But with the difference that now difficulty is growing really fast, 2 weeks in the bitcoin world is like 1-2 years in the normal world.
Nothing new.
It's not the same, you buy TV and electronical componentes to satisfy what you needs, it's not a business. You buy a mining hardware to "make something profit" Cause as Asicminer, they sell for BTC for a miner to mine BTC.I don't see a problem at drop prices, but the Block Erupter USB only mines ~0.01 a day. Only in one month the price drops 50%, one month (u make 0.3 BTC) plus delays you may made 0.1~0.2BTC. they should drop price with a fair timeline.Something like this drop os prices is like they don't really care about the earliest customers. And again BTC is a business cause that make you "money"(coin), electronical componentes like PC,TV,PHONES are not the same. If it's a business for you, it's your fault for not considering they would lower the price if difficulty rises. That's obvious. Edit: Is true that they should lower the price every weak, because this is really hard for the buyers last week. But I feel like they're overloaded with work and it is imposible for them. |

It's not the vendor who sets the price, it's the market which functions following supply&demand.
I'm ashamed to be explaining such basic things, but some of the guys in here seem to do not understand basic free market principles.
I'm ashamed that you don't get the obvious... YES THE VENDOR SETS THE PRICE. When is the last time you went to buy a brand new (insert favorite technology here) and you got to pick the price? That is just not the way retail sales works. EVERY manufacturer sets a manufacturers suggested retail price (msrp) and that is the price used by the ENTIRE distribution channel to caculate each players profit along the distribution chain. And when the Vendor sets a price and then days later cuts the price in half then the CUSTOMER GETS PISSED. How is this not OBVIOUS? My young son understands and he can barely read. Friedcat and company FUCKED the community. Read through the thread and you will quickly see ALL the PEOPLE who are FORMER customers of ASICMINER products who just wrote, right here in this forum, that they will NEVER buy another ASICMINER product becuase the VENDOR DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO PRICE PRODUCTS and the VENDOR HAS A HISTORY OF SCREWING EARLY ADOPTERS. How is this not obviously STUPID BUSINESS PRACTICE? Seriously, is this how big business operates? NO? Why? BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THE COST OF LOSING CUSTOMERS OVER STUPID POLICY DECISIONS can be calculated in REAL DOLLARS. At this point any reasonable person will conclude that ASICMINERS GREEED is larger than ASICMINER and the STUPID PRICING policy is driving customers away. Count all the lost sales and goodwill destroyed by ASICMININERS desire to eek out a few extra coins today. Instead they COULD HAVE eeked out our coins for years and years and years if they had treated the community with a modicum of respect. Instead Friedcat has just become Inaba2.0I don't see how friedcat did anything wrong - in any case the blame is all on you, for purchasing overpriced hardware and now feeling butthurt because prices are starting to be adjusted to reality. This was an expected situation, the forum is full of posts of people saying they would buy some "when they dropped in price". From the very first day. And FYI, prices for these USB things will drop more. Only a few customers bought at the initial 2BTC price. More people will buy at 1BTC. Even more at 0.5BTC, etc. You are a fool if you do not realize that's what is going to happen, and it will be the best both for the market and for ASICMiner shareholders. In fact, quote me on this: we will see these things below 1BTC very soon. Look at it this way: If you thought that at 2BTC they were a good investment, better for you - at 1BTC they are an even better investment! This is not true, because you're only looking BTC price. You need to look Ghs/difficulty price, and now they're at the same price when they started selling them. Of course if the difficulty keeps rising you will see them @0.5 , @0.1 and less. Also, in the future the could be overpriced @0.05 if difficulty is really really high. So, no point speaking about price without caring about current difficulty. |

Demand for these is crazy (as in stupid - crazy). I'm really satisfied to see their price go down like that. Props to those who resold their on eBay and etc. But I imagine the itch of those who did not.
You can tell me... I sold 10 @ Bitmit and they arrived to buyer's home yesterday. Of course now he is telling me the boxes were empty and he wants me to send to him another 10 for free or he's not going to open escrow... Of course he's liying, and I guess he's angry for price drop and he just wants to breakeven no matter what. I always take extra care so it is imposible I forgot + weight on the parcel is exactly for 10 USB... and he told he found nothing inside, just air. I hate this scammers. I hope Bitmit is fair and send me the money. |

Hi I'm in france, and like to buy somme Block Erupter USB stick
Are you going to buy and sell some at the new price ?
If yes have you a price for 4 stick ?
Currently I have no stock. I'm waiting new conditions, since AsicMiner changed all. |

Dropping a price by 50% a month after launch is just dumb and it's likely to confuse your prospective customers.
2BTC per miner is highway robbery and they knew it. 1BTC is just robbery. Difficulty double up, so I think it is OK lowering the price. Now they're at the same price when they started selling them. They can't decide the USB's price, it is the market and difficulty. If Bitcoin changes fast, price needs to do the same. |

I was reselling them in EU. That means now I can't do that and I'm not going to be capable of reaching the 1,000 mark? Seems not fair  |

Sounds nice! I'm checking it after at home.

Gracias por la info! Seguro que le es útil a más de uno.
Me he quedado sin stock de USB AsicMiner. Estaré 1-2 semanas de vacaciones, por lo que hasta entonces no preveo tener más stock.
Saludos!
