Avalon ASIC Sale - CHIPS ONLY
Greetings fellow bitcoiners, miners, and hardware enthusiasts:
The owner of avalon-asics.com has agreed to start selling its ASIC chips directly.
These are CHIPS ONLY. This is NOT a plug-and-play mining rig.
If you buy these chips you have options:
1. You can mount them to a board, power supply, etc., and start mining bitcoin. (YOU will need to know how to do this or find someone who does.)
2. You can re-sell them.
Quantity Information - READ CAREFULLY
At the time of launch (now), the minimum quantity you can buy is five-thousand (5000) ASIC chips. (If you were to buy directly from Avalon, the minimum quantity is 10000 chips.)
Depending upon demand for this quantity, we may allow lower quantity orders in the near future.
The price is $11 USD per ASIC chip, or $55000 USD per 5000 chips, plus shipping & packaging costs.
Note: We simply take orders, and ship the chips to the address you provide.
We do not have a department to handle customer inquiries at this time.
We'd like to be able to respond to each and every customer, but we're very busy and simply don't have enough time or personnel.

STANDARD AVALON TERMS OF SALE APPLY:
The no bullshit, no fine print terms of sale
We Accept Bitcoin Only – Bitcoin allow us to collect large sum of assets in a short period of time, and due their nature the bitcoins can also be move to where they are suppose to go in a similar time frame. It also make sense as the Avalon units mine bitcoins so they should be priced as such accordingly.
No Refunds - The Avalon units are made on a built-to-order basis. This means when you place an order, your bitcoins are used to order parts to construct your Avalon Unit. Refunds therefore are impossible. Utilizing a short time frame, batch based, and built-to-order method allows to manage finances properly and reduce risk for all parties. e.g. Avalon ASIC, the re-sellers and the buyers.
No Address Change - Unless it is a special case no address change will be allowed, please allocate time correctly to handle the delivery of these units, There has been too many people attempting to sell these units and changing their shipping address. You can choose what to do with them after you receive them, but whilst they are still in our hands they will go to the address the order was originally intended for.
Limited Customer Support - The Avalon team is comprised of a small group of capable people; however, we are also extremely limited in manpower. Every one of us handles multitude of tasks, and for this reason we will have very limited customer support. No news is good news. We apologize for this, but we do not expect this situation to change.
Not Newbie Friendly - The Avalon units are designed much like a hardware development board, while it works out of the box with very little configuration it is ultimately geared towards developers and experienced miners, please do your research before purchasing. A good place to start is the Bitcoin Wiki page on Avalon.
Please read this carefully, as with all things Bitcoin one should treat this as an investment and make the decision best for you based on the liquid-able funds available at the moment when placing an order.
{I accept the terms and the potential risks involved with placing an order.}
