Same here. I am very disapointed from Baikal. ... But 7000$, that is 5 time higher then second batch and more then 6 times higher then first batch. This is just ridicoulous
....It would also not surprise me, if they would sell more and more batches until the device is useless like the Antminer D3.

c'mon guys, I really do not understand why are you all complaining about the price.. 7kUSD is still cheaper than the market price. Why do you expect to get it from them 10 times cheaper than the market price. Do not forget - 1st and 2nd batch were pre-oders with the waiting time of several months(!) and it was completely new unknown product with only 3 algos - so it was also some kind of risk considered in that low price.

And again you are contradicting yourself - you want to get it cheap, but on the same time you do not want manufacturer to sell too much of them, like it was with D3. But how manufacturer shall keep his profit target in this case?
I find this price fair enough..at least for the existing X10 owners.

I got my X10 in the "first batch" from a reseller at $2500. I've been pretty happy with it, and I'm starting to see ROI. That said, there is NO WAY I would buy another one at this stage of the game for as much money as they want now (unless I was going to immediately resell it to some sap), or even $2500 for that matter. No way. At what they are charging now, you are looking at a very tough time to see ROI once these new units come online. As an example: DBG Skien and MG are already down well over 50% in terms of daily payout in a little over a month since I've had the unit (after the second batch came out). While that is still plenty good for me (as my miner has all but paid for itself already), that's definitely not good for someone getting in to the game late (less than half the payout) at more than twice the initial cost.

If I had $50,000 to throw around, and thought that the price might stay inflated on ebay, I might consider buying a bunch to flip. I would not intend to mine with them and expect to recoup that cost any time in the near future.

To be clear: I'm not complaining at all about the cost. It is what it is for a reason. It's just too high for it to make mathematical sense for me (or anyone, I would argue) to buy more for the purpose of mining. I understand why the price is what it is, though. If my units that I built were suddenly selling for $10,000 on the secondary market (ebay) at a good clip, I'd be pissing money away by not increasing my initial price.
