YIFU IS AUCTIONNING?

[driksson]

best thing, they fly weekends.. expecting monday/tuesday delivery..

[dogjunior]

Wow people forget pretty easy here. He screws the chip group buys then he goes back on his promise to never sell hardware. Now seems all is forgiven? Seems like he is getting people warmed up for the next screw job.

[rograz]

then he goes back on his promise to never sell hardware.

iirc he said they wanted to focus on selling chips and never again doing preorders, I don't think he has ever said they would stop selling assembled hardware completely.


edit: If they end up coming with power supplies I'll actually start regretting I didn't have my friend who got himself verified to bid on a few for me.

[Unacceptable]

You won't regret buying these............trust me  

The power consumption alone will kill these in a few months,unless you have free power,same goes for BFL units  

Thanks again Y I FU !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where's that "compensation" for us Group Buy guys    Thats what I thought....................................

[Threader]

got tracking too! jeah im impressed.. surely a loss biz for him this time. why didnt i order 100pcs! heh, bcus i dont have enough power.

You could of made a few BTC reselling them on ebay. I just don't trust him so I ignored the auction


hindsight 20/20

show them the blockchain invoice, aka TX, it works.

[zulover]

Why would they want copy of invoice, they shd just deliver?

DHL do all customs declarations. Thus 30% tax applies.

[rograz]

Avalon changed their store pricing and added the mini to the store as well@6BTC, guess they didn't like the auction pricing and decided to sell the rest themselves.

[zulover]

Its 20 in u.k. from what I know

[zerocode20]

Alright, things are actually moving! This is better than expected for such a shady auction.

It definitely seems like Avalon didn't like the price they got from the auctions.  I wonder if after the first unsuccessful auction TradeHill suggested they start the next auction low to possibly create some "frenzy" and actually get much higher than the original ask, this seems to be one tactic live auction house's sometimes use (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't!).

Lolz   u is fucked ... I asked a shipping question 7 days ago and I am still waiting on the avalon-support team

[rograz]

where did they get your phone number?

My guess is the tradehill registration/verification included a phone number, also I think DHL requires a phone number for international deliveries, weren't there some people who had to wait for ages for their avalons due to no phone number on their orders?

It definitely seems like Avalon didn't like the price they got from the auctions.  I wonder if after the first unsuccessful auction TradeHill suggested they start the next auction low to possibly create some "frenzy" and actually get much higher than the original ask, this seems to be one tactic live auction house's sometimes use (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't!).

That would probably have worked had the batch not been so large and bar of entry into the auction so high, there were simply to few people who bothered/wanted to get themselves verified. Had they done smaller batches of something like 50-100 units every few days I think they could have gotten a higher price. Anyway congrats to those who grabbed some units, you might actually make some money out of these if you get them early next week.

For sure. its a test. On gen2 devices, if properly priced.. they should get better movement. I mean, they just want to rid all stock of gen1 chips. they are even selling the 10k chips for 100btc..

[driksson]

Its 20 in u.k. from what I know

yes, uk is 20, i believe some other eastern european countries have 18%, sweden has 25%.. so all eu, have different vat on imports (and exports).
