Err. excuse me. ASICMiner put out a product that sold out within 30 minutes. Whose fault is is that it sold out? THE PEOPLE BUYING IT.
Perhaps the USB sticks were just too sexy to resist

If you think everyone is pissed off with AM, then I guess the new blades won't sell at all .... fancy a bet on that?
Yes indeed, most miners who buy AsicMinerUSBs either don't care about making a profit or are foolish enough to not realise that they made a loss buying them.
The ASIC era has clearly shown how bitcoin is full of fools.
I bought 2 with the possible goals:
1) resell for outrageous profit
2) mine for 2-3 months, recouping as much cost as i can, so that :
2a) resell hardware for whatever its worth
2b) keep the hardware as a momento of the ASIC wave
turns out, option 1 is what happened. I resold the first for 1.25BTC (I paid 1.48BTC for both), and the second for 4oz of silver bullion (~$88) and 0.12BTC. During the process, I mined about 0.073 BTC
say what you like, but there is some margin for profit!
