My apologies if it appeared as complaining. I guess if someone is lined up behind me willing to pay $400 or $425 plus shipping then it would be accurately described as complaining, otherwise it's simply pointing out that this price seems way too high given easily discussed concrete factors.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1355039.0;allI purchased 4 units (batch 2) with 1200W PSU from Acceptu for $400/bundle.... on April 8th (48 days ago).
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1442614.new#newI purchased 1 unit (batch 3) from Wpt1wpt1 with dual 1000W PSUs load sharing for $382... on April 27th (30 days ago).
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1476213.msg14881462#msg14881462I purchased 2 units (batch 4 and batch 7) from Achtung082 for $400/unit shipped on May 18th. Was willing to purchase at higher price without PSU because he had the batch 7 at 5TH and I've always wanted to play with one of those. Even my emotional white whale transaction was a better deal with the free shipping.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1469301.0I am working a deal with Force098 as we speak. His list price is $360, but we're discussing an alternative amount via PM. I can confirm after the transaction is completed as it will be referenced in my trust for all to see. He started at $450 on the 11th, dropped to $400 on the 17th, and arrived at $360 yesterday.

S7s are still in demand, but only for a reasonable price. Plenty of people are trying to escape an impossible ROI before the halving. Based on the experience I've had dealing with the folks above I was honestly expecting to see the price per unit at $325 with all 6 going for $300/unit including the PSUs. Even that deal favors the seller as you need 'Goldilocks' conditions to ROI.
That is just not going to happen (not yet anyway).
I am in conversations with 2 others about these at the moment. So I guess will see. I do appreciate the links, but they are not direct sales. They are just someone posting something (hearsay) that's hard to prove.
