Got a notice today that they're selling the S9 again...   $5k USD for a single S9.  

That's 12 months before they break even...  

Wow.  

My visit to Blokforge today shows that they have NO Antminer S9's to sell. Yes the front page shows a $5k price for a 13.5 TH S9, and $3200 for a 14.0 TH S9. This pricing of course makes no sense. When you drill in further on each one, you find out they don't actually have one to sell. I don't see any good reason to get upset about a quoted price for a miner they can't actually ship to since they don't have any.

I think some of this is related to mediocre website maintenance rather than anything evil (aka greedy). Clearly if they actually had an S9 they could ship, then they should get a premium price compared to Bitmain which doesn't have any to ship (at this time).
