anyone get the TD daily emails? noticed some poop on it near the bottom of today's.. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fv2%2F936x637q90%2F843%2Fvrmp.png&t=665&c=lu2Cdf2IlxR6Uw) WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! 35$ per GH/s.... I paid 28.5$ per GH/s for 3 of my Antminers U1.... But, those prices are better than eBay prices for 10GH/s jalapenos.... They didn't specify if they can't be returned or not, EVERYONE GOGO BUY 10 AND RETURN AFTER 29 DAYS! Edit: I just noticed it says 1 per customer... Clever... Just order 10 with 10 P.O. box and under different name and gift card, easy.

Its not like you would even really benefit from running 10 jalapenos for 1 month. I think this is geared towards td users and not actual btc users (as we all know not to buy a bfl product)

After reading Tigerdirect's Return Policy @ http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/help/return.asp, what is stopping someone from purchasing one of those units, mining with it for 13 days (not that it would be particularly worthwhile), then requesting a return ?

If they keep it maybe we should all let them know how refunds work in the btc mining world. When they end up with a bunch of used hardware nobody wants I'm sure they will change their mind. Of course this would be somewhat pointless since current bfl hardware is weak compared to the competition. And most likely TD will have a steady stream of idiots who think they will see a positive roi buying the hardware.

See: 99% ASIC buyers thus far. The reality is every preorder beyond Avalon Batch 1 has been a total LOSS from a BTC perspective. All gains have been realized due to the 5000% BTC/USD or whatever growth rate. So the sad part is many of these "idiots" buying BFL from TD might end up making money and seeing this as a huge windfall if BTC goes to $5-10K next year. Of course then the rest of us are all along for the ride and I get to be a millionaire so hey let it happen For those of you thinking I'm wrong, lets just take Hashfast for example: 50BTC purchase price. "Market Value" of 400GH today? ~5BTC. Good way to lose 90%! And no not even KnC was a good deal - it only looked good due to the increase!

I guess the most effective ROI and profit is investing hundreds of thousands of dollars and getting like maybe 10+TH/s.

I wonder if Tiger Direct cares that they are now selling apparently non FCC certified products?
I also wonder how the hell the PSU they ship got a UL cert. I wonder just how legit the UL cert is... Anyone care to dig into it?

TigerDirect will sell these at retail for at least few weeks to catch suckers. Then they will put them on clearance to rid themselves of the rest of the inventory. It's a lot easier for BFL use TigerDirect to liquidate its remaining 65nm inventory than for BFL to do so. TigerDirect sells older/refurb hardware all the time, so they are used to discouraging returns from happening, etc etc. I'm sure this deal is negotiated significantly in TigerDirect's favor. No one should feel bad for them.

Or maybe TD's marketing department is completely oblivious to the Bitcoin world and has NO idea what BFL does or who they are in terms of their reputation.
