This is a serious question for anyone who can answer as I feel I am missing something. Why in the world would people buy blade and block erupters with no chance of a ROI, yet I post a bitfury ASIC and I don't get a peep?
I don't think this is overpriced, if prices stay stable you'll get 2 - 3 month ROI and if they dip you could see 6 month. The power usage on bitfury's chips are lower than any of the competitors so you will be able to mine longer with this as well.
I must be missing something.
Because these haven't shipped yet, while the block eruptors are actually available. Block eruptors aren't a good investment either. But the fact that they aren't doesn't make your deal any better.
Furthermore, who knows if this starter kit is actually going to be available in August, and WHEN in August. August 31st is a long time away and we will see a HUGE difficulty increase before then. They might not ship in August, or might not even ship at all.
Finally, you are selling it for almost twice the price you bought it for, and it didn't go on sale that long ago. Yes, they are sold out now, but those who really wanted them had plenty of opportunity to buy them when they went on sale not that long ago.
