Re: Avalon 6 Vs Antminer S7, which one you will choose?
I don't think any of these companies price their products properly. Why? Cause people used to buy them for 10k+ no questions asked. Now? Everyone is buying out or trying to milk it.
Avalon6 is overpriced. Won't doubt it if the S7 lite price makes people think twice, too.
People accept the 4month ROI. It's easy to price everything accordingly.
Their target market are people with established and profitable rigs looking to upgrade in bulk not people trying to buy one for fun or hobbyist who view this as a lottery attempt. You're better off taking your cash to the actual lottery unless you're shelling out at least 5k.

Although i agree with your statement on the prices. Those that bought the miners with btc suffer with the rise in prise.. those that bought with usd are laughing all the way to the bank.(that is the nature and risk of mining) Hell i bought 30 s1 when btc was 650 only to watch it drop all way down to 300 making the s1 not profitable.. had i not mined solo and found 7 blocks they would prolly never roi considering i bought them with cash. With regards to the lottery, if you live in my state your gonna be surprised when its time to go cash in that ticket.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-lottery-lawsuit-met-20150909-story.html this was the cap at 25k article and since our lovely govt cant ever get there shit together they have now a month later moved that down to 600$ (yet they continue to sell tickets like nothing is wrong!) http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-lottery-delayed-payouts-met-20151014-story.html what i find alarming is they are now expecting the small business to fork over the winnings for the smaller tickets and then those businesses will then have to fight illinois for the back payments.. Could put some small stores in a bind. Not like they give a shit.. but anyway thought id share this:)Best Regards

Lol yuuuup. Its crazy.
And then people try to sell used equipment for more than original retail. Probably because they bought in bitcoin and can't keep up. Smh...
If the S7 lite is priced at 1k? Sign me up for 5-10 of those babies. That will kill the Avalon and I'm damn certain antminer will still make bank off us. Make it a black Friday sale if they wanna charge 1500 for it cause it's just a little better and people will buy it.
If not? Maybe a Avalon group buy. Negotiate that 900-1k price in a bulk order.
Yeah i do not really understand the pricing scheme. But if you look at Ebay, apparently people are still buying crap, like S1 or USB or old 3J/GH stuff at 0.30$/GH. I'm not sure if its because there's so many desperate/unknowledgeable gamblers that buy all they can find or what...
But other than that, i don't see why people would be buying the Avalon6 at 1300$, the S7 has better efficiency and cheaper $/GH.
And indeed if the S7 lite is indeed a 2 bladed S7, then unless Bitmain crank up the price like crazy, it will leave the Avalon6 in the dust.
I have a love/hate relationship with ebay. I hate the fees ebay, paypal...etc. It really does add up. I have found normally even after all that I get more on used gear there then here on forum. On forum here a lot want a bargin, so it makes it tough. Ebay you can sell a good amount higher in some cases.
I have only had one weird one. I had 2 C1's one worked fully other had some hashing boards that dropped. I sold working one on ebay... thought I did decent felt good..... but I sold a parts C1 on forum and I made more money parting out C1 then I did for a working one. Part of it was I had upgraded pump, wire harness, etc. But the full unit came with it. It's the only time I have felt like better deal was on forum.
I love my tech. Scouring dealsnow and techbargain was just a hobby even if I had something great already. Even Apple understands, "if I release a new product? Price match the old or even beat it, and and don't try to sell year old (marketplacers) and used tech for more than original retail."
We already know what then S7 lite price is gonna be. 1400. And the Avalon still probably won't sell cause of it.
Bitcoin price spike Last year made a lot of people greedy and desperate. The days of selling overpriced Technology is over.
And amazon\ebay have better prices for some sp20s s3s and s4s. If these two aren't priced right? Going with old tech. I'm not here to lose money. None of us are, but so many here are and ya gotta really wonder why?
