The price on these is pretty high AND A LOT higher than bitmain and their 15gh/s (800 usd) these are around $1800.
The quote Baikal gave me for a brand new December batch was 1399 USD, unfortunately they sold out before I could get an order in, so what do you mean they cost more than the Bitmain miners, seems if anything it's cheaper than Bitmain's listed price?
baikal produce much less. if you can secure miners you can charge more than 3k for these machines. at one point D3s were on ebay for 15k each (because earning were high and no availability)
same thing here. earnings are high and availability is low = HIGH MARKET PRICE
