They seemed like a fun thing to resell, but Canary cornered the market on that.
Mining Bitcoin is a rich man's game now. Good luck to all those who want to play!

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

There is no such thing as the "correct price". The correct price is what the market is willing to pay. I do think that demand is going to dry up in face on the reality of ever increasing difficulty. I wonder if AsicMiner can still move them in volume if they cut the price to 0.1 BTC ea and if so are they making a profit at that price.
As for the $5 being the "correct" price are you willing to sell me your BE for $5? I get the feeling when people say things like "this ASIC should be $x" they only mean they would buy not sell at that price. Of course if that truly is the correct price they would be happy to sell theirs off at fair value.
ohohoh, there definitely is such a thing as price discovery.

lol 750M difficulty is like... what? a few months away?
Current Difficulty is 50M, assume 20% increase each change... that's 15 changes away. 5-15 days between.
50,000,000.00 0 60,000,000.00 1 72,000,000.00 2 . . . 1,597,399,996.85 19 1,916,879,996.22 20
See, available hardware will limit that. Math can't get the the way of common sense. Currently, the network it at ~500 terahashes/s, with a difficulty of ~50 million. For rough estimates, we can say that the network is 10x the difficulty. So, if we have to hit 750 million difficulty, that is a 15x increase in difficulty, which would require a 15x increase in hashing power, raising the network to 7.5 PETAhashes/s. There's no way any ASIC companies can deliver that much hardware that quickly. The estimates that make sense to me are about a 3 petahash network by the end of the year, which would give a difficulty rise of 6x, which sits us at 300 million, well below our 750 million cutoff. Difficulty cannot keep rising at this speed, it has to level off at some point. And my guess (however little it may be based on) is that that level-off will be around 500 million difficulty.

Amen. Why is that such a hard concept for people to understand? The only time one can say a price is to high is when there are no buyers.

I'd buy a handful if they were $20 or less. I love the one I have, it's very cute. It'd be quite the novelty to buy a few hubs and a raspberry pi and actually have a legitimate honest to god mining operation, instead of "that one that I sometimes run when I'm using my desktop anyway".
