Reference?
I've tried to follow what happens in the trade-in program since the beginning and I've not seen any indication that it was closed. I've kept my Icarus because the trade-in process was fuzzy at best but I'm about to send some right now as there's been report of progress (one user with a reply from Avalon)...
So you didint want to take a risk, yet you want Avalon at funny price ? I doubt they will honour your order.
Funny price? I don't expect special treatment: I'll pay the same price than everyone else in the trade-in program (if indeed there's still one).
There shouldn't be any risk out of the ordinary involved with a trade-in program. I would have sent my boards earlier if I had understood what was going on.
Let's see what happened in my case :
- I missed the batch1 ordering like many others
- I waited for the trade-in program and missed the first wave of batch2 orders doing so
- I didn't see any sign of the trade-in program and hastily got one order in the second wave of batch2 orders (just got it yesterday although it was expected in April initially and I paid 55+BTC for it)
- Then I waited to confirm that there was indeed still a trade-in program, this was confirmed last week
