I have 1 lancelot unit and now for auction.
According to the post of ngzhang and yifu, Lancelot unit can be used for the trade-in of Avalon.
Time valueThe lancelot can trade for Batch#2 and at the priority of shipping list.
Every miner knows that time is money in the mining industry. Batch #3 of Avalon is not open for order yet, and according to ngzhang, the Batch #3 will be shipping at the end of April or the beginning of May. ( I think this timeline only can be achieved under the condition that they do speed up the production rate to 1000 units per month. So the trade-in priority has great time value.

If you buy this lancelot, I will ship the item to ngzhang for you from China ASAP when the trade-in starts. From Beijing to Shanghai, the delivery only costs 1 day. This location privilege will accelerate your trade-in program.
If you are from China or you just want it, I can ship it to you.
Value of discount codeLancelot owners will get a discount for 300 USD when he orders the Avalon.
Batch #3 will be very very expensiveAccording to ngzhang in this post, the price of Batch #3 has not been determined yet, but it will priced in BTC, and based on "reasonable expectation of ROI." Though the so called "reasonable ROI" and "reasonable expectation" is not clear, but we are all clear that the price will be much higher. It is very likely, not guaranted by anyone, that the trade-in Avalon will be priced at 1500 USD as other Batch #2
