IMHO I am waiting for the halving before shelling out for a rack of these machines, It seems a waste spending 3btc on a item that is immediately going to half in productivity in less than 2 weeks.
After the halving tho, I will be interested in selling off the 12+ S7's and upgrading to all S9's. I would keep buying S7's but I am going to soon run out of power lol

Yes I am really hoping that they adjust their prices after the halving. They haven't adjusted the prices for their older S7 and S7-LN in a while which really surprises me.
It makes sense for them, there's no other big company that makes miners this efficient nowadays, so they can let prices stagnate for a while. You're kind of forced to buy these, so bitmain's simply racking up those dollars. They've adjusted their prices a lot recently, so as not to be in competition with avalon, but now that they've not released anything, along with Bitfury, they can let these prices stay. I'm assuming they're going to drop the price after halving.
