Well, I mailed them and got this reply:
In regards to your questions below, we are unable to cancel your current order as we have already ordered the hardware that will be required to assemble your unit. What Simon mentioned, was an upgrade we are hoping to announce *very* shortly that is only for the Batch 1 Baby Jet customers. This will be for folks that wish to upgrade their system while keeping their current place in line and still 4 weeks ahead of the shipping of our Sierra's.
It seems to refer to the special promotion you mentioned in an earlier message. At least they didn't ask for 10% to trade the order.

Come on guys, really? There must be a new get-rich-quick bestseller around.

the problem is, they are not getting rich right now off of anyone.
everything they're bringing in they are plowing back into making this a reality, ie, the best miner available in the market. like i've said many times before, i am very excited about the design of the BJ and Sierra. using OEM parts and being modular, i expect my own large order of BJ's to make an acceptable ROI for quite a while.
I would be quite interested to see your ROI calculations. From recent ones I have done I would loose around 4btc
If the "first batch baby jet special offer" is a second chip to have on the baby jet (since that the motherboard can house 2), for a price of like 1/4th of the baby jet price, i would like to know it now, since that i suppose i will need to pay in like 1 day if this offer comes out.
So, if i need to send a significative amount of money to the bitcoin ecosystem, i would like to know it in advance.
(if someone from hashfast wants to reply to this privately, my ticket number is 449. Thanks.)

Sounds a lot like BFL to me...
Especially since that it's the same hardware used with batch 2 baby jets... Anyway, i'm still confident.
agreed, Personally I think it would be nice if they told people ahead of time by a little. Even if they just say a day before that tommarow we will be opening up so and so.
