If I can get some additional Icarus boards, what will be if I send it to trade-in address now? It completely useless but I not want lost it by sending to nonfunctional address. Who knows, given trade-in address is real Avalon team address or it is some mediator and it's address can be changed/removed anytime?

Trade in program is closed as far as I know.

Reference?

Check last update.  He said the list has been obtained and cleaned up.  It sort of implies an irreversible step, no?
Just like no refunds once b3 enters "shipping" stage, it is reasonable to assume no trade-ins after trade-ins are in processing.

Otherwise, it would add extra work for both Mr. Chen and Yifu.  I might be wrong but I think they operate in waterfall fashion.
If they did not, they would have kept orders and trade-ins open at all times.  Sort of like BFL.

I opened a ticket and sent an email to info@avalon-asic.com to get an official answer.

I'm not sure of anything about this: wouldn't it be expected from Avalon to get an official message out saying "stop sending us Icarus boards, if we get one after , we won't process it for trade-in"? If Avalon didn't have an history of fuzzy rules about trade-in, I wouldn't even ask questions: no official deadline would mean that there isn't any deadline yet.
