BFL starts shipping Jalapeno this week!?

[daggeteo]

Is there any estimate on when a Jalapeno 4.5 would be shipped if it was preordered in early February? It's hard to tell. I'd be willing to buy one of these preorders off eBay if I had any idea when it would be shipped.   There's so many posts with conflicting info out there that I can't decide whether it's worth it or not.

This is an absolutely foolish request. Please look in the scam accusation section for the BFL thread then make your decision.

if you wanna be scammed, make it well, go for an Avalon batch #2 or #3, spend your $40,000 and be happy

yeah basically 99% of ebay posts claiming a low pre-order is a scam. Any legit one is usually a pre-order from feb-march and by the time they get those, might as well just pre-order now and wait the extra few weeks it would take for them to get to you.

I'd love to know that, too...

Should be quite interesting to see how many dev unit's they actually end up shipping out...and what kind of timeline they will estimate before actually shipping en-masse for those individuals that got on the proverbial bandwagon late (i.e. Jan. of this year) and if they'll actually be able to produce upwards of 400 units or even better orders per day...should see an incredible increase in difficulty over the next 6 months if they actually start churning these puppies out once they've taken care of the majority of the outstanding power-regulation issues...should be one heckuvaride

The thing is this - do you hedge your bets.

Place an order - pay through paypal - If they have not shipped within 40 days dispute it with paypal (you have 45 days) they will refund your cash after about 15 days - then place order again - repeat process.

Considering other companies are now shipping them - I don't believe they are a scam. Look at Microsoft they have billions of pounds and their products can also be delayed.

Is that a good idea?

I have my own reservations with paypal. Last time someone installed a damn trojan on my mom's computer (her "computer guy" installed a "Free DVD burning software"), they were such a pain in the ass on the phone when refunding my stolen money...

I have this feeling paypal, with their attitude, will bite me in the ass on second order

Now that I have seen the video I am actually very confident - I will be leaving my pre order as it is and won't look for a refund

so if we'll need a power supply also for that little stuff... what about a 1500 gh's?

thats 400 units a day divided between all 4 versions but ill let you know what happens one of my first orders is a jalapeno and its order #33** should be amongst the first either way

they oughta be able to bang out more than 400 jalapeno's in a day. less complex assembly, i would think. Here's hoping....
