These cost $1700 new on the website why so much here?
man, these manufacturers have no mercy on their customers. I have been looking for the right opportunity to pick one of these up. but watch them drop from 3200 >>> 2800 >>>1700 all within a month or so. there is so much miner price fluctuation, that any hardware purchase is just a roll of the dice...
Yeah, I can't even keep up lowering the price here to meet the manufacturer's.. it literally happens every couple days.
I am so pissed overall - initially i ordered 2 from their $3500 batch and was fine with those, then they released a new batch for $3200 and offered buy 4 get 5 even if you had ordered a previous batch.
So i was thinking - ok if I order 2 more I'll get 3 and i should be able to sell for a small profit or worst case i have 30% price cushion - i was effectively getting each for $2,200 when the retail is $3,200. And guess what.. prices drop 50% by the time i get them and place them for sale. So i'm essentially selling at a loss without even touching these because I don't have the capacity to plug them to at least mine for a few days.. Not to mention all the hassle of having to sell 3 items.. at a loss
On another note, I responded to your PM.
