Purchasing
  Pricing: retail price 49.99BTC each, 48.99 each if quantity >= 10 in a single order, 47.99 each if quantity >= 20 in a single order.
  Contact: Please send mail to (asicminer.blades@gmail.com) about the quantity, your postal address, zip code and telephone number. PM to friedcat(this account) or fnnirvana@gmail.com about this sales thread may be ignored.
  Shipping: DHL for international, SF-Express for China.

Notes
  1. Fans are not accompanied with blades anymore. They were more or less intended to serve as a help of quick setup and mining testing for users who haven't got proper cooling yet, but turns out to be quite misleading by making people think the fans are powerful enough to cool the (already)over-voltaged and (easily)over-clocked blades.
  2. To make the whole shipping process smooth enough, no more racks are given out or for sales. As a compensate we practice the bulk price discount as shown above.
  3. Please be aware that the payment processing and shipping will be less prioritized than the remaining orders in the third auction. It may be 1-2 days less timely before the third auction's shipping is completed. After that it will resume the instant-style speed.

Wow. Nice to have options ready to ship.

Looks good.  Need to crunch some numbers.  A Groupbuy is setup with hosting & management https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204118.0.  Very interesting little product.

Credit where it's due, ASICMINER is a very impressive outfit.

Bravo sirs.

The pricing is good. It's selling like chips.

As a shareholder and buyer I approve

Don't think in Euros, think in Bitcoins.

That said, 50 BTC is still way too steep a price for such a low performance hasher. The rising difficulty will push ROI time way back into 4th quarter of this year at least, and by then nobody has good estimates or even guesses of difficulty. Too many unknowns, ASICMINER themselves being one of them.

At that price, the only ones benefiting are ASICMINER shareholders. Good for them I guess

EDIT: for comparison, in "Avalon equivalents", you'd pay about 278 BTC to get one 3-module Avalon unit out of these blades (67k/12k). If you were to assemble an "Avalon-erupter" with 12Ghash/s from Avalon chips, you'd pay less than 4 BTC (without any other components though, so that comparison isn't entirely valid). Put simply, these are way overpriced.

I'm sorry, my comment was that my finances were not there yet, not this offer.  Sorry for the confusion.  I TOTALLY would if I COULD.

[taenaive]

wow.  I want one but can't afford yet.

I agree, I should be thinking in Bitcoins, unfortunately I'm new to this and would need to purchase 50 BTC to spend it.  My own fault for getting into this so late, either way, I'm happy with my 1 GHash at the moment.

Since i bought 12 + 2 outside the auction time and already payed for them all shouldnt i have some discount since you are now saying that it costs 48.99 in quantities bigger then 10?

I do not think is fair that i paid 50 for all of them just some hours ago...

please let me know. thanks

There, fixed for you. I guess some people are happy to pay 10x margins. At least you're honest when you say you hold AM shares

Of course it's fair. You agreed to the terms offered already.

[blackarrow]

I want to purchase 2 blades. How to proceed?

[Ozymandias]

Is there a limit as to how many will be sold (at least for the immediate future) or will as many be sold as people attempt to buy?

[Syke]

These are unlikely to break even in under 6 months. Maybe 12 months. That's too long a time frame for my investment comforts.

That GHash is coming from 2 7870xt's  definitely not enough to sell and acquire 50BTC,  but I like your thinking. 

[talnted]

The pricing is precisely in line with what the market has dictated.  Refer to the past 3 auction threads for information on this rather than stating that you believe this is overpriced. 

Simple economics people.
